IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

888 fit check what do we think? Size 32. Debating whether these or the 634 are "my cut".

@m4xime welcome to the "slippery slope", my friend! These were my first intro to IH about a year ago, and let's just say my closet has undergone a serious make-over. Not only with multiple pairs of jeans, but jackets and tons of buttons down shirts (UHFs, Westerns and Work shirts), and also not just IH, but IH has led me to appreciate the high quality craftsmanship coming out of Japan from other brands. It's clearly pricier, but to know your supporting workers who are fairly compensated for their labor (which is also more about what you're NOT supporting when you don't buy clothes coming from other brands), in my mind it's worth the price. I know in a lot of ways this is coming from a place of privilege to have the $ to be able to do it, but I'm not a tech person (no hate for those who are), but as a teacher making a modest living, I'm choosing to support sustainable industries and pay more to do it. Anyways, my rant is done. Sick jeans, and enjoy them!

@MSav32323 well said!

Is there a break in process for these? I've read some people doing soaks, hanging until damp then wear them to set creases and shrink in some areas. Do most people do this?
-
@meltdown. You are going to be hard pressed to get any shrinkage out of the 21oz. It's sanforized and once washed. I mean washing it will not shrink it. I may tighten a little bit and then back to original measurements after 15 minutes of wear. The brake in process is very straight farward on the 21oz. Just wear them and they will soften more with time. They start pretty soft to begin with for a heavy fabric

@yannis Thank you, appreciate it!

Just had a 35 come back through the door.
-
@MSav32323, 100% agree with you, share the same thinking.
-
@MSav32323 Agreed and don't worry that trend started a while back and got a reboot of energy recently with the purchase of my IH N1 during the holidays

Cheers mate!

Gentlemen, I’m seeking advice on a new purchase regarding sizing and fit. I’ve been wearing the 666 21oz in size 32, but I’ve found it quite restrictive for movement, especially during daily activities. I’m thinking about switching to the 888 in the same size 32, though I’m unsure if it will address my comfort and mobility needs. I’d really appreciate your insights or recommendations!
-
@npthaiduong fit is very subjective and that's a big jump from 666 to 888 for top block comfort. The 888 will definitely be roomier and more mobile in the top block.
