IH-888S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans

[lionheart]

That side by side is super helpful. It also pushes me slightly towards the 21oz, the smoothness and slower fading would make it a little more “formal” perhaps and the 18 a little more casual I guess. It’s getting rather nitpicky haha but then they’re not cheap either so I will unlikely get both right away. Thanks again gents

As a 6' 5" dude with a 33" waist, I wish Iron Heart would increase the inseam length of its 888 jeans to 36" washed at minimum. I was looking forward to these, but a 35" inseam is too short for me. I understand most IH customers don't have this issue. I'm just throwin' my .02 cents out there.

[JohnM]

If I'm looking for a post-wash and stretch waist of 35-35.5", should I go with size 35 or 36? I assume this denim has some stretch, maybe less than the 21oz. but more than UHR

[Graham]

I think you could be happy with both, perhaps using the thigh as the deciding factor between the two sizes and if you want them nice and relaxed, or really relaxed.

Got my pair today, crazy fast! I was a little worried with the waist to thigh ratio on these, but they're just about perfect in my usual size of 35". just a bit tight in the waist but it should end up exactly where I want them to be!

This denim is crazy soft and pliable. I may even like it a bit more than the 14oz- Feels like nothing compared to the 19oz lefty's I've been wearing!

[JohnM]

I just received a 35 also -- beautiful denim and construction. Same for me -- a little tight in the waist, but should loosen up with wear. Out of curiosity, what does the waist on yours measure (either the IH way or flat across)?

[SBE2002]

@JohnM Flat across mine ended up being about 16.85" or so, probably exactly 17" with the IH method. But the thighs were a little tighter than expected at 13.5" (Perfect for me!)

[JohnM]

Thanks. Was that before any stretch?

[SBE2002]

@JohnM Yep! Just got them in and only have been wearing 'em for about an hour. I'll keep you posted!

[JohnM]

^ Appreciated, look forward to hearing how they turn out and how much stretch you get.

[SBE2002]

@JohnM After one day of wear I'm at 17.5" using the iron heart waist measuring method!

[JohnM]

^ Thanks SBE2002. I think I'm in a similar boat with my size 35 (will check tonight). Great pair of jeans, nice heavy duty, soft denim and cut -- room up top but relatively trim below.

[SBE2002]

@JohnM Agreed! It took me a while to come around to the 888's- Coming from Levi's 511's, the 888's felt so baggy the first time I tried them on. Now that I'm used to it, they feel perfect!

[lengis]

All,

I'm kind of in between sizes on these and I somehow got the impression that these are even more prone to stretch then the 21oz. What's your experince?

[JohnM]

Good question Lengis. I had the 21oz years ago and it seemed stretchy. I’ve had the 18oz for a week and I’d say it’s moderately stretchy, less so than the 21oz. But I’ll defer to those with more experience.
