IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans

[Oaktavia]

Just shy of 60 wears today with the UHR. I'm loving this denim more each day. Fades are starting to take off now.

Lap fades are crazy intricate with how this heavy and crunchy denim holds creases.

Walking away...

Combs & stacks

@Oaktavia looking super goot for such little time, those are in a sweet spot already. Still look krispy as fuuuuk

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich steady as they go now my dude

I wear size 32 in my 555-xhs which have a 16 inch waist. I'm trying to decide if I should order a size 31 (15 inch waist) or 32 (16 inch). I guess some people size down due to the higher rise, but the fact that they're unsanforized and the shrinkage after soaking makes me wonder if it's a bad idea going for size 31?

@cricca

These are going to behave very similar to your XHS where they stretch back out to approximately pre wash sizing with wear so I would pick a tag size that has the most similar actual starting waist to your 555's

[cricca]

@Graham ok, thanks!

[cricca]

My first pair of 888... Maybe they're not the fit for me?
The waist is perfect but... I don't know haha. Keep them or return?
Usually wear the 555s

[Oaktavia]

@cricca I think they look a lot like mine when they were new. It just takes time to settle down the denim and break them in. A soak will help a lot followed by a wash.

Congrats, I think they're going to be great. A wash will bring them in nicely.

[cricca]

@Oaktavia alright fuck it, I'll keep em soaking them right now and hoping for the best

[cricca]

Alright, much better

[Oaktavia]

@cricca bingo

[Oaktavia]

75 days of wear

[tvaillant75]

@Oaktavia at first glance I thought it was your 25oz IB, maybe this is the light

Looking very good

[Oaktavia]

@tvaillant75 haha nice that's good though that means you see matching fades. Been wearing them every other day for 75 days each.

Getting used to the bigger thighs compared to 555, but the waist is too big I guess ...it really irritates me that the ass is hanging like this all the time.

[Oaktavia]

@cricca From the angle of the photo, I don't think it looks bad. That is how jeans seem to sit on some folks. Not do downplay your thoughts, but I wanted to throw some encouragement your way. Looks good form my perspective.

[Mizmazzle]

@cricca I agree it doesn't look bad at all. This is kind of how the 888s fit, unless you have a lot of thigh and junk to fill this particular trunk.

Sometimes I look at photos from the rear of my 888s and am shocked that the front can look so slim and clean but then the back seems a bit frumpy.
