          My first pair of Iron Hearts.

          I almost went for the 555 XHS but I'm glad I didn't because I do not think it would have fit my thighs.
          I think the 888 fit is pretty good for me.

          I am tempted to get them hemmed 2 inches or so? Maybe even more. What do you guys think?

          These are a size 33 and I have soaked these twice at 40c and washed them at 40c on a 45 min wash.

            @RideTheLightning hemming is a matter of taste. I prefer cuffs and i think they look great. Be careful hemming tapered cuts though. You could lose the taper if you lose too much length.

              @RideTheLightning personally I think your cuffs look great. Matt has a point in losing some of the taper if you have them hemmed. I own these and I wear them both cuffed and uncuffed depending on the footwear. One negative to having them cuffed is that XHS had a tendency to be very abrasive and develop wear and even holes on the folded edges.

                Thanks, I think I may leave the cuff, at least for now. Are there any negatives of trying a cuff for a few months and potentially getting then hemmed at a later date? Or is it better to get them hemmed right away?

                I think this Tokyo cuff might look a little better?

                  Tokyo cuff is how I do it and you’ll be fine waiting if you want. It’s actually better if your honeycombs set in before you take length off since that will take some off (a little) anyway.

                    I agree with what everybody suggested. Pretty much is a personal preference thing. I wouldn't worry about losing the taper if you decide to hem your 888's unless you are hemming really short like under 32 inches. I have not seen a noticeable difference. I have both hemmed and umhemmed. Now the heavy creasing and potential damage is very real if you decide to cuff. My suggestion is to uncuff them at night and try to wear them some times without a cuff, specially when you are around the house. It will help with the heavy creasing and potential tears.

                      @yannis I feel attacked. All my hems are under 32 inches. Damn long torso and short legs! 😭

                        @GardenState. No worries my man. I think the hem differences are negligible at least on the 888 cut. The taper from knee to hem is not that big. I personally like wider hems anyways.

                          Trying to decide if I dare to order a pair of the 888 because I'm a slim guy (185 cm, 70kg). I've had a few different 555 and 777 but think they become to slim in the thighs after a few washes. So I'm trying to decide if I should size up in the 555 or try the 888. Any suggestions?

                            You can size up if the waist is snug. If not you will end up with a loose top block and they will sag. You can get away sizing up easier on the 777's in my opinion. The low rise is more forgiving with a roomy or loose top block. I don't see what is the apprehension if you size the 888's correctly. It's a solid cut and you can ger away with sizing down on those. Find out what your ideal.measurement are and get a pair that is as close to possible to those measurements.

                              I have a pair of 888-142 that fit very well, maybe a little looser than I would want but not crazy. For anyone that has owned both the 142 and the XHS, how does sizing ultimately compare after soak/wear in? If my size 34 142 fits pretty good should I get that same size in XHS?

                                @cricca I'm a pretty slim guy myself. I love the 888 cut. My favorite cut really.
                                The key to being a slim guy with the 888 is to size down as much as possible. I had to suck in my belly pretty good with my 888 XHS. But they stretched to the perfect fit now. (They were never really uncomfortable for me as they stretch pretty quick if you are only trying to get 1/2- 1" of stretch)

                                Others argue comfort right out the bag...but you may get a looser thigh and ass fit that way.

                                They will also snug up a bit in thigh and waist with a first cold wash.

                                      @welfare_burrito. If the measurements of both 14OZ and XHS look similar yes go for the same tag size. I never had the need to size up for XHS. To me they fit just like the rest. So my answer is more likely same tag size but do a compare between both.
