      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.

                  @Igneous I am actually using a belt now, its the way can keep them from falling, so I will try as you mentioned, thank you.

                      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?

                            Also tagging @ShopatIronHeart to see if they have anything planned.

                                  another pic of a dude in 888S-21s. But damn these are good. I’ve been wearing 14 oz for so long and I’m happy I traded up. They fit me perfect. Now I’m just waiting for the 888SB restock and the 526PJ restock. Then I can have black and indigo 21oz tuxedos

                                      Thank you super helpful! I actually have a Self Edge store close by to me so I went in yesterday and bought my first pair of 888’s! They’re currently being hemmed and I’ll get them back in about a week but stoked to get them and I’ll post pics once they’re back 🙂

Did a quick check to make sure they fit today but will be wearing em a bunch this week and weekend and super stoked! The quality over Levi’s just off the bat is insane
