      I’m really glad a rogue size 30 reappeared in stock, and I jumped on it. My last new pair for quite some time. Nice rough texture with just a touch of coarseness and a hint of slub. They feel great and fit perfectly. Very different from the 142s or the 21s. Love em. I’ll wear to work tomorrow.

        The denim is almost identical to a pair of Samurai (can’t remember weight, maybe 15 oz?) jeans that I moved on from a few years ago.

        I bet their fabric was also made Shinya mills. Predictably, these fit better and have the IH consistent attention to detail that was sometimes lacking with my Samurai and Oni experiences. The higher rear rise of the 888 makes all the difference for me. The denim itself is amazing and is a really nice contrast to any of my other IH jeans.

          @Freeman looks like 777 sizing? sorry to second guess....,

            I had a similar thought. Rise and thigh measurements look off from average 888 historicals.

              for reference the current 777-18 measurements: https://www.ironhearteu.com/bottoms/IH-777S-18.html . Similar but not identical

                @WhiskeySandwich @Bums_Fan @Tago-Mago Apologies guys, this updated size chart was meant to be imported within the correct forum thread, the 666s-18. No 888's as of yet.. the size chart within this current thread will be corrected back to the original chart in situ prior to receiving a restock in the near future.

                    @AdamJ really looking forward to these. Tried the 666 in store, but gotta stay true to my 888 and be patient hah!

                    Get outside, feel small

                      This is such a great denim. One of the more textured offerings, with hints of bright blue right off of the bat. The weather is starting to cool just a bit, so I busted out my GOAT 21s and these. So good.

                                  @Corteenz should be here very soon, considering we've had the majority of the other cuts!

                                          Looking for my first pair of IHs. I started looking into the overdyeds first but thinking I should maybe start with a classic pair of indigos. For those of you that have both the 18oz vintage and the 21oz “classic”, any observations with regards to (1) which one actually wears warmer / is more appropriate year round (and maybe the answer is neither), (2) difference in texture - I would say sleeker / cleaner is better but is the 18oz really that slubby or just relative to the 21s? (3) any other thoughts or things you considered when ordering the 18oz would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

                                            I have 888-21OD/555-18. You're right. The 21 isn't slubby or hairy. It really comes out of the box soft and stays that way. I've had mine for about 8 months and even now the weave is tight with slight degree of fuzz. With that said, the 18 isn't really slubby IMO. The denim is a coarse out of the box and a little hairy. It does feel like a slower weave denim. I wore them both in summer and felt fine. Maybe the 21oz fairs a bit better in really hot weather but the 18 works too. Personally, I love the 18oz. The denim is almost electric blue from day one.
