              I haven’t been around here much recently, but thought I’d post these since I think they’re ready for retirement (the repairs have repairs, which also have repairs). Particularly love the roping on these. Hope everyone is well!

                        @Giles Hi Giles - hope retirement is treating you well and you’re spending plenty of time at sea. The new grand Seiko looks great, my Dad has a similar watch 👍

                          Plenty of time at sea, despite the number of gales rolling through. Hop to make it to IoW for lunch on Sunday... Fingers crossed....

                            Everyone mentions about getting true size on 888 cut.
                            I am size 34 on 555 cut which is 35.3" on the waist whereas 888 is 33.6" on the waist in size 34. This difference confused me to be honest.
                            Has anyone experienced the same size on 555 and 888?
                            Thanks.

                              @hepyek Interested in the answers you get as I was going to be going -1 size to account for the 1" stretch in the waist

                                @hepyek the most important thing to look at when choosing are the measurements, not the tag size. My tag sizes for example:

                                666-21 - 36
                                666-18 - 35
                                777-XHS - 36
                                555-14 - 36, 35 would have fit in the waist but not the other dimensions
                                888D - 36

                                If the other dimensions don’t work when you size up then you may have to check another cut. Personally, I find the compare function super helpful to initially check dimensions across different cuts and denim weights.

                                  ...and to add that I've got 33-36's depending on the run, cut, and denim. Tag size is only a guide and I have to look at every release's measurement to ensure a good fit. Tag size alone will get you into trouble.

                                    I’d add that it depends on your body shape heavily. I’m a pretty slim dude, and go down from a 34 in 555 and 777 to a 32 in 888, waist goes from the loosest measurement to the tightest with the 888.
                                    555 is skin tight on me with a baggy waist, but I’ve seen thicker guys rock it perfectly.
                                    Measurement comparison is key, follow the website instructions and you’ll be golden. You can count on an inch of stretch or possibly more if you need it.

                                      @m4xime I do always size for the stretch. My target waist is 34” true, and I always size 888 down to account for it. Different fabrics have different stretch posted.

                                          Merry Christmas y’all!
                                          Just got a fresh pair of 888s 21oz. I’m under the impression these were washed before they were released to retailers. Purchased from BlackBlue; they had a hard-to-find 33.
                                          But the leather tag is perfect and does not seem to have been washed/wet at any point.
                                          Is the tag stitched on after the factory wash?
                                          I’ve been around this brand for a long time and I’m surprised I don’t know the answer. Ha!
                                          Please educate me!
