    @Mizmazzle I forgot to take a presoak fit pic. I might throw them through the washing machine to make sure I got all the shrink out! They're definitely more roomy in the calf but I like how they fit. I feel like they look baggier when you're looking down at your legs then they do in the mirror

      @GardenState a lot of that bagginess will take a better form after you either hem or get the cuffs how you want them.

      I do think you would benefit from a wash with agitation...looks like you have plenty of thigh room to work with. How's the waist? Do you have room to shrink it a bit and still get them buttoned? If so, id say def throw em in for wash with agitation. I like my waist to be a little on the uncomfortable side at first (I had to suck my stomach in a bit on the first wear with mine) I got a perfect fit this way. They stretch out fast. But again, that's just my preference. Many others like a looser fit right from the start.

      Don't worry about washing a couple times early on. It's not going to impact your fade potential or anything.

        @Mizmazzle I bought them true to size because I have had bad luck with sizing for stretch. Also, I hate when pants have tight top blocks or overly tight thighs. Lower rises seem to be the culprit there though. That constant pressure on my hips is annoying. I'd rather wear a belt and have some room.

            @Mizmazzle Thanks for all your help though! Just pulled them out of the wash and the patch got some indigo transfer but that happens anyway. Excited for them to dry now.

              Hello guys !!!

              I'm new here and i would like your advice to make my choice. I really love the 888 XHS 25 oz but i love the IH 888S UHR 21/23 oz too and i can't choose between those two badboys !

              This will be my first pair of Iron Heart ever. I like the raw side of the UHR but the sizing scares me a little bit and on the other hand i'm a bit concerned about the XHS because the waver is very hot where i live.

              Basically, what are the biggest differences between those two ? How about the fades ?

              Hope you can give me a little help for help me choose the best pair for me.

              Thank you for reading me, have a great day ! 🙂

                @GardenState how’d they turn out post washing machine?

                  @Ju. What is about the sizing that scares you? I think you should be able to take the same tag size on both. The pre wash measurements on the UHR are typically slightly bigger as you get a bit more shrinkage out of them. Both feel heavy. The XHS is smoother, the UHR is hairier and it starts at a lighter hue of blue. The both give beautiful fades. Either choice will make you happy. If you really want to ball get both, they are different enough that you will enjoy the character of both fabrics.

                    @yannis Thank you very much for your advice !

                    I've read somewhere on the forum the UHR was harder in finding the right fit. Anyways i think i will go for the XHS ! Just to know, what is the difference between the XHS and the 888 21 oz ? Just a heavier version ?

                    Thank you again !

                          @Mizmazzle They turned out pretty great. I may have them hemmed again because they feel long although they shouldn't be. But I think that's me not always wearing them as high as they're supposed to be worn. The lower leg shrank considerably in the machine wash. Overall, I think they're pretty great they feel a bit like a more generous cut 555 to me. Perfect for winter and perfect for XHS.

                            @Ju. The difference between the 21oz and 25oz is more than just weight. The 21oz is more breathable, softer of the bat and fades in a more vintage style vs the 25oz is less breathable, difficult to deal with in the first few wears, hard to button at times, but you get rewarded with sweatpants like softness when broken in and contrast fades. Obviously the 25oz is a better winter option in colder climates.

                              @GardenState nice man! Glad you’re happy with them. I agree with the more generous 555 description.

                                @yannis Thank you very much for the insight !

                                I started to look at the size charts.

                                On left there is the dimensions of a Naked and Famous jeans that i have (that fits well on me) and on the right the dimensions (in centimeters) of the 888 XHS tag 36 :

                                Waist : 95 / 92,7

                                Front Rise : 29,5 / 32,5

                                Rear Rise : 39 / 43,7

                                Thigh : 33 / 35,8

                                Knee : 22,5 / 24,6

                                Hem : 18 / 21,8

                                Inseam : 87 / 92,7

                                Considering the incoming shrinkage with the pre soak or wash, tag 36 looks good for me right ?

                                  @Ju, Do not worry about the shrinkage in the waist. It will stretch back to pre soak dimensions with wear. The N&F pais looks like a lower rise pair than the 888,s. So they will seat higher up, on your natural waist instead of the hips and usually our matural waist is narrower. The thigh will shrink about 0.5 of an inch roughly 1.2 cm and probably the same for the knee and hem width. The inseam may shrink up to an inch so about 2.5cm. For the most part tag 36 looks roomier than your N& F. Make sure you are ok with that. Is you really like how the N&F fits maybe look even tag 35. You have alot of room in the thigh to play with.

                                    @Ju, also.look at the 777 cut tag 36. The measurements are alot closer to your N&F pair in most areas but waist. Also I assume that you used the Iron Heart measuring method otherwise non of all that means anything.

                                      @yannis Yeah i used the Iron Heart measuring method.

                                      You're right seems like the 777 looks more like what i'm looking for, sadly only the 21/23 is still avalaible in tag 36 so i guess i'll have to wait.
