@RobeOfTheMagi from the product description: Sanforized and one-washed - little to no shrinkage to be expected
Can be found under the Details Tab

@RobeOfTheMagi I'm certain that You are right. and in the meantime I came up with another measurement. I will check the inseam as per IH method and we can compare with the initial sizing table. stay tuned...
-
@goosehd we are talking about 95 degrees Celsius here. The comments on the page are for 40 degrees wash. Lets see what will come from the new measurement.

@RobeOfTheMagi yea, so this is it. I have no additional data to draw the conclusions from. I guess this indicates that there was some shrinkage after 60 degree Celsius wash, but I only noticed it after 95 degrees, and its after that wash that I changed the cuff length. at the end it went from approx. 90,17 cm to 88 cm.

A little bit late to the 888 party - but better late than never…
For the past 7 years I’m wearing 777‘s in various versions (S-21, XHS, SBG, S-142bb, S-142). Perfect fit for me because of skinny legs. But when it comes to hiking, riding the bike, playing around with the kids in the backyard it needs a more relaxed cut with more room in the top block for easy movement… So I decided to give the 888 a try. Here we go: day 1!

@Karol That is very helpful. Thank you! I haven't done a 95 degree wash yet, but 1 cm is very decent for that hot wash. Great denim!
-
@Transporter it’s an amazing denim! Because of this pair I stopped wearing sweatpants around the house
Just to add, after the final (and the most precise measurement method) I got ~2cm shrinkage in inseam length after all those washes.

The new addition to my 21oz collection. I see why this is considered “the shit”. It’s fucking spun gold. These have another dimension the others don’t, set off by that fantastic natural weft color. There pretty much my new favorite after only two wears. These are a bit more breathable than my sbg and ib but are still a bit warm in 90f. They mould to the body the same as my ib, so will get more creasy than my SBG, which is the softest of my 3. Can’t wait till these hit fuzzy stage.

@WhiskeySandwich Great fit, this has made me craving for those 888 more
-
@MQR thanks man! I’m all about the 888. It’s roomy but still slim. Ultra comfy and still pretty fitted. Wizardry.
-
@WhiskeySandwich i see, that’s why i think i need that on my collection as well
what are you suggest for sizing? true size or downsizing?
-
@MQR id go by measurements. I went a size or two down from my 777s. But I think that would depend on your body type. Easier to get away with if you have a trim waist. For 888, waist is the tightest spot for me, so I measure around my underwear waist band, then I subtract half inch to account for stretch. That way they end up perfect. Of course I have preference for other measurements too but those are aesthetic.
When in doubt, email the crew. They’re super helpful and pretty patient with particulars. -
@WhiskeySandwich i see, go by measurements by far is the most wise advice , thankyou
-
They’re amazing. And they wear in fantastically. I agree about the weft, they have such a great look. I was surprised to see that you didn’t have these already. Your other ones are stellar, too. I wore my 21od a few days ago, that’s another superstar.
-
@drewfonse yea i was definitely sleeping on the flagship for too long. It just wasn't available for me timing-wise and I wanted to try the ib first before it became unavailable.
