      @npthaiduong You are definitely going to be m ore comfortable up top in the 888 cut along with the thigh for sure. As @bluemantra mentioned, it is quite a big jump especially the difference in the rise also. Have you considered the 634 as a bit of a bridge gapper between the 666 and 888?

        @Graham thank you for the advice. I haven't looked at the 634 yet because I am still new to the whole IH denim, but I am looking at it now! Do you recommend the same sizing if I go with the 634?

          @npthaiduong. The 634 will be considerably roomier than the 666 at the same tag size. Same rise but wider hip and thigh and knee measurements. So if you are happy with the waist size in your current 666's then go same tag size in the 634.

            @yannis Thank you. As for the 888, should I go for the same size as well? I am happy with the 32" waist but yearn for more room in the top block.

              @npthaiduong tag size is not a good thing to go on and you really need to watch this video: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/1410/bottoms-how-to-measure

              find your favourite pair of jeans/pants and measure them as in the video. Write those measurements down and then compare them to the pants that you’re interested in. Each pant will have a measurement chart to use and compare to the measurements of your favourite jeans/pants.

              Once you have it narrowed down to one or two cuts and/or sizes, please email the IHUK crew at: shop@ironheart.co.uk for further assistance and sizing advice.

              Going off of tag size will lead you to buying a pair of pants that may or may not work for you.

              The guys will be able to guide you to the best size in fit and denim which is another variable that you will need to take into consideration. Each denim behaves differently and your sizing may vary upon the denim selected.

              Don’t rush into a purchase and take the time to work with the IHUK crew. They are experts at what they do and in the end, will save you time and money, and almost ensure a happy buying experience.

              I did the same 10 years ago, and shop very few places since.

                @npthaiduong. I am assuming you are looking at the 21oz..If yes I will take the same size in the 888's also, understanding that they have a higher front and back rise, so they will seat higher up closer to your natural waist. They also taper so although the thigh measurement on the 888 and 643 are very similar the 634 is wider at the knee and because of that generally less restrictive. Both great cuts with the 634 being a straight and the 888 a smart taper.

                  @npthaiduong I don't think I can add much to what Goose and Yannis have outlined above. Thank you gentleman.

                  I would for sure take a look at a few fit shots of the 888 and 634 as one may sing to you more in terms of silhouette with both being roomier than the 666.

                    Ok time to bump the thread with 2 unexciting photos of GOAT cut/denim combo. 80 degrees here today and still quite comfortable. This stuff is magic. Oh, and best chainstitch hemming in the industry.

                      Hi Gentlemen, I am seeking some advice here, I recently loss some weight and my beloved 888's are little bit big for me know, I am still able to keep them with a belt but have some folded denim front and back. I am something around an inch bigger in the waist. I would like to maintain the jeans as original as possible and avoid alterations so that`s why I am considering a hot wash to get some shrinkage. But as long as I am pretty new in this area I would like to have your opinion and recommendations in this regard. Any advice would be really appreciated.

                      Thank you!

                        I have had great luck with shrinking 21oz denim with a hot soak. I think a hot wash shrinks it even more given it's moving the fibers around while soaking in hot water.

                          @Andres-G. I am afraid that you will have minimal luck with shrinking the 21oz. Sure they will tighten up after a hot wash or soak but they will stretch right back in a couple of days or less. I would try to hot wash them and spin them on high and throw them in a hot dryer right after. You may get something but probably not enough.

                            They will definitely stretch back out, but if the waist is held in with a belt, it holds shape better.

                                      After wearing the 14oz jeans for the past 4 years in Arizona, I finally got my first pair of 21oz 888s since I’m back in the mid west. They will be here Wednesday. I’m so stoked

                                            @SlothRock They just restocked in February of this year, so it may be awhile. Have you checked other retailers to see if they have your size in stock?
