Last fall I bought a pair of 777's size 38. They fit snug as they should, however after a few wears around the house my wife and I had the same opinion. The rise on them was sawing me in half visually. For the record I'm 6'5" 195cm and 230lbs/104kg
I'm all about showing off my boots so a small hem is important. Considering 555 and 666 as slim fit is my favorite. I'm currently wearing a pair of PBJ 019 that fit and look good but not slim enough. I'm afraid the 888 would be very close to the 019(relaxed taper). I've got several IH shirts that are great and a type 3 jacket. Time for some jeans I can keep...
I didn't lose a ton selling the first pair but it was still a bummer. I have to have them hemmed(34) because nobody near me can do it right. This the no return issue.If you like the fit of the 777 aside from the rise, then the 555 is the logical next step, similar-ish fit through the legs, but much higher rise.

Very off putting to see real questions buried to no man's land. Not sure what other purpose a.forum provides other than answering questions...
Sorry you feel that way, but this thread is not 'no mans land' it is a thread dedicated to answering questions like yours, which I have just done.

888 Fit Guidance
So my question is this. If 888 14oz fits me well in 32 after wearing them in, can I expect something similar with the heavier weight 888s? I am keen to get some 21oz but want to know if w32 will also be the right fit for me in the heavyweight as I wonder if there’s a bit less give/stretch?
Generally speaking, yes. They are cut to the same pattern. There will be some variance model to model, which is why we publish a specific chart for every model of jeans/shirt etc etc. Did you buy the IH-888S-142 from us directly? If so, we should have a note of the actual waist size of them when new and can work out sizing on other models from that. If not, you'd need to measure your pair now, and we can work out how to go backwards from there..

Following on from @T4920 asking for a wabash type 3 - if full denim is a Canadian tuxedo, what would/should full wabash be called?
Beats me...

@Tago-Mago use your new mod powers to influence the powers that be to bleach some dotted lines all over a nice t shirt? Then we wouldn't have an issue
This actually just reminded me of a new product Giles told me was in the pipeline in Hamburg last year... I think you might have been there at the time too...
I'll keep quiet, but hopefully it is part of the FW collection!

An actual question, before the conversation drifts...
Would the crew 'hem' the sleeves of a long sleeved shirt, to the typical short sleeved length for a customer?
Need to pick up a summer shirt, and the 10oz work shirt with tonal stitching that's sitting in the outlet is calling me..

GREAT QUESTION T4920!

@AdamJ that's understandable, I'd never ask for minor sleeve/cuff length alterations as that's obviously a specialist job for a tailor.
Just thought LS to SS conversion might have been possible as (in my mind at least) it seems like the same process as hemming a pair of trousers, and I doubt it'd be a common request.
You can blame @Kasi for inspiring me with his recent SS denim shirt conversion
. Although I’ll have to deduct points for the t-shirt
