I'm guessing it's been brought up….but tapering service for guys like I. Instead of sending our jeans to RCFG for the service...right from you guys would be killer. Though he 888 cut sort of fixes future releases, not a fix for denim that might not ever be introduced to the cut.

We don't feck around with our cuts. You want to, then we can't stop you.

It's a tough job designing a few cuts for a lot of body types and styles no doubt. i certainty didn't mean any disrespect.

@CosmoSix5 No disrespect taken as it’s a topic that has popped up fairly frequently over the years with the answer always being no. As @Jett129 pointed out, there are a few great tailors out there who specialize in these types of requests. They are highly revered in the community and maybe you could try reaching out to them about how to make your wishes come true.

Basically because Haraki takes a lot of time and effort to get the cuts perfect, both in cut and balance (in his eyes), so chopping and changing, is not something he'd want to be involved with.....

@Darth-fader better yet, bring back the IH-X256J !

Next time you do a run of the IHTL-1700 do a Dark Khaki/Olive color.

@CosmoSix5 There are a few members on the forum that have taken jeans to the next level of fit by sending their pairs to denim specialists. I don’t know how much they have spent, but the results have been phenomenal.
In the denim game, sometimes you need to make compromises and either accept the standard offerings as is or as you and others have done, pay extra for what you want.
It sounds like you are in a niche wants department and may have to pursue the specialist route. Could be worth it to get what you desire.

@CosmoSix5 My local tailor used the sewing machine that he would normally use to make repairs/alterations on leather garments in order to taper my XHS/IB they came out really good. Probably not a lot of tailors have that kind of sewing machine.

@Jett129 I'm planning on waiting for the 25oz IB in September and it looks like I can get them done at railcar for about $100 after shipping both directions. That way I can keep wearing the 21oz that I really like. All depends though

I would get daily use out of a "Chore Vest" in denim or duck. My neighbor has an incredibly faded Carhartt chore coat that she chopped the arms off of.

@Giles classic Giles, I needed that
