IH-888S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - OD'd
-
I am trying to locate a pair of tag size 33 in this denim. They're out of stock on the official site and I'm in Canada so I've been checking the stock of North American retailers to locate a pair. Several retailers have tag size 33 in stock, however the measurements vary quite a bit from what's posted on the official site.
For example, the rear rise for tag size 33 on the official site is listed at 16.2 while Withered Fig has it as 15.2 and Self Edge has it at 15.5. Normally I wouldn't focus so much on this type of discrepancy but I'm using my existing tag size 33 IH-888S-21 as a reference which has a stretched rear rise of 16.75 and it seems strange that there would be a whole inch difference.
Is there that much variation in batches? I certainly don't think retailers are measuring rear rise any differently.

I can only speak to what we do, which is to remeasure every batch we recieve and update the chart accordingly. I am also sure that our staff know how to measure the Iron Heart way correctly, the same cannot be said for any other shop (not because I know that they measure differently or 'wrong', but I cannot be sure that they do it the same way we do).

There absilutley can be, that is why we remeasure every batch.

Some retailers measure things differently to the way we measure, ensure you are comparing like for like.

Edit: reread your post, looks like IH is out of your size, sorry. My bad
For what it’s worth, I’ve ordered primarily directly through IH, but also through a few NA stores.
Self Edge in particular measures differently from IH. I have found that IH direct is by far the most attentive and accurate when sending you the specific measurements for a pair, just be aware of how they measure the waist, which is different from Self Edge and others.
The jeans are exactly the same though, in terms of tag size, measurements, etc. I ran into this when ordering from Self Edge, but they were ultimately the same as IIH’s measurements when I actually measured in person.
I highly recommend ordering directly from IH, if possible. Amazing customer service and they’ll find the right pair for you within a tag size. More accurate hemming, and free, too.
Much more attentive than Self Edge. Iron Shop Provisions in New Orleans is great, too.

@Alex was correct.
Measurements ended up aligning with posted Iron Heart measurements. And I've got a new pair of IH-888S-21od on the way
-
Wearing these now, so freaking good. They get noticeably softer with each wear and develop a nice silvery sheen kinda quickly. Awesome.

Ka-Chillin’ on break with my 21 OD, rapidly becoming one of my faves.

@drewfonse Love the way these sit on you, this is exactly how I imagine the high rise 888 was designed to fit!
I can't pull it off myself, my body better suits low rise cuts, but for you it works so well!
-
Thanks!!
Yeah I have to have high rise, low rise irritates my hips etc, and because Iron Heart has my sole attention now, 888 is it.
may try the 1955, but the leg opening and thigh might be too big. 888 is best cut of any brand for me, and the quality is obviously the best.
Which cut is your favorite?
-
@drewfonse 633 (self edge exclusive) from what I've tried so far!
Bloody typical, the one I can't get easily within the UK ...
-
I’ve looked at those. A little off for my fit preferences, but they look snazzy.
-
After purchased first pair of IH 888 indigo 21Oz recently, I was so impressed and without any doubt pulled the trigger and acquired the second pair IH 888 21Oz in black. It’s beyond my imagination how breathable and comfortable they are from first day, Kudos to Iron Heart!

@scullen22 It looks like they're arriving around November/ December.

Finally got my hands on a pair. I am anywhere from size 34-36, and went with a 34. Wanted something a bit snug in the waist as I’m sure they will stretch out. Also my weight fluctuates a lot as a lifter, so maybe this will keep me motivated to eat less
-
I think you got the right size. Tag 36 would be too big.
-
Ya def. A 35 would have worked too, but this 34 has already stretched a ton and it feels great.
-
The 21oz stretches generously. Anything bigger and you will get the diaper butt thing going on specially with the 888 cut and higher back rise.

Fellow squats enthusiast - how has the break-in been going?
Tried these on at SENY and the 34 was a perfect fit in the waist - just a little bit snug - but I still thought that they were just a touch stiff in the thighs. Definitely could not get my knees up to 90*. I've heard really mixed things on how much stretch you can get in the thighs on these. I feel like the measurement is pretty spot on as far as some other pairs I have, but with the thicker fabric it might be just a touch small.
I think the 34 will probably work - could also wait for a restock in the 35. What do y'all think?
