    To those who own these jeans, I have a quick question—how deep are the back pockets? Could someone check for me? I'd really appreciate it.

    I'm thinking about ordering a pair, but I need to know if the back pockets can comfortably fit my phone (iPhone 13 Pro Max, ~16 cm tall).

    I’m not a fan of front pocket phone fades, and finding quality jeans with deep back pockets is surprisingly difficult.

      Adding on, width specs (top and bottom) would be appreciated as well.
      Also, IH newb question 🥴, are the back pocket specs consistent from one fit to another?
      I clip my keys to the right back belt loop on my current non-IH jeans and tuck them in the pocket next to my wallet, which has become comfortable/habit for me. Hoping I can do the same with my first pair of IHs, when/if I get to pick some 888 SBGs up when they’re restocked. Thanks in advance!

        Back pockets size is a function of tag size.so you would need to specify the tag size you are after.

          Seems like these are actually going to work for me. I pulled some dims on my main work pants this AM and naturally forgot to measure front and back rise. But the thigh measurements seem appropriate for me. Debating between size 33 and 34, but my decision will much more clear once I've pulled rise dimensions on my current pants. Very eager to have the firm, but respectful hug of IH 21oz denim back in my daily wear rotation.

          For peace of mind - are any USA IH stockists getting this run?

          777 fit in heavyweight, plz

            I always say to go as tight in the waist as possible providing the thigh works as the waist will stretch approximately 1" with wear.

                @EastClintwood I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max and have never had an issue with the phone in the back pocket (Typically wear 666, 634, 888, and IH-BB (Pictured) They all carry the phone the same (sizes 33-35). Only a corner ever sticks out:

                  On a somewhat related note, my wife doesn’t like my 888 21s because of the back pockets. She thinks they are too low on the butt and too prominent. She says I have a nice butt but you can’t tell when I wear them. I would say that, even before her comment, my least favorite thing about these amazing jeans is the placement and size of the back pockets.

                  But that’s just me, I’m sure. Definitely a fully utilitarian pocket design, especially being lined etc.

                    The only thing that might stop me from getting these is the knee measurement, just a little wide for me. Decisions decisions….

                      You've got to remember that IH is a bikers' brand. The pockets are deliberately placed out wide so that a rider can sit on their bike without whatever is in their pockets digging into their arse while still having access to the pockets.

                      Take the dive...

                          @sophisto000 Hi, I have measured both Tag 36/38 in respects to the width of the top/bottom of the back pockets which are practically identical with the following measurements:

                          13cm (bottom), 15cm (top)

                          I hope this helps!

                            @tgaus, I hope this helps you a little bit. But I thought I would do a side-by-side photo for everyone so you can see what the 1955(left side) looks like against the 888(right side). I wear both in a tag 40, and these two styles are great for big-thighed guys. The 1955 definitely offers a little bit more room across the board, as the numbers don't make it seem like much, but there is a difference when you combine all those little differences. The 888s give you a slimmer silhouette without becoming the Michelin man, haha.

                                  Oh I’m aware of that, hence the “utilitarian” part. Still love their jeans.

                                      @JoshC those 1955s have me so hyped to cop a pair tomorrow. I have a meeting that ends right when they go live, so my co-workers will see me furiously getting on my phone to buy a pair.

                                      As someone with big legs and a small waist, the 1955 really looks to be my goldilocks IH cut. The 888 is uncomfortably slim in the lower thigh while the 634 is doable, but the low rise isn't ideal as I tuck my shirts in regularly.

                                        @KA56 Ahh, man, the 1955 could definitely be the Goldilocks pair for you, then! For me, there is definitely more room in that low thigh area compared to the 888s, so you should be good. Good luck, and I hope you manage to cop a pair!

                                          This is making me feel I need a pair of these but I only just got a pair of 888s, maybe for the next pair
