IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
@Snafu. I will venture to say from the same run special if the release date is close to each other.
A hot soak of the 21oz will not yield any shrinkage worth talking about. The OD process is way more involved than just a hot soak. Just look at measurements and pick up a pair that measures very close to your OD. Sometimes that entails going a size down some times not. You have a good point of reference in your hands to make a good decision -
@yannis Copy that. Thank you.
Looks like most non-OD 777’s are the closest measurements through the thigh, knee and leg opening to my 888 OD
-
@Snafu . 777 and 888 are very different cuts. The top block is miles different. 777 is a low rise cut. If I was you I would contact the IH team and see if they can find you an 888 with measurements very similar to your 888od. Now if you want to venture in a different cut that's a different story. But you said that your 888's od are perfect in every way.

Thinking of getting some 888 XHS...

Does anyone have a W31-W33 hemmed to 30"? Whats the leg opening at this length?
I'm waiting patiently for another 1955 drop, but hoping 888's might be a decent high rise alternative for the time being
-
@jfive67 looking at the size chart for the current batch I would expect you to be somewhere in the middle of the hem and knee for measurements, I have one in Relove at the moment that is 8.1" for a tag 32 if it was hemmed to 30".
I have also attached a screenshot of the size chart for a 31-33 so you see the difference of the hem (2nd from bottom) and the knee is (3rd from bottom). I hope this helps.

@JoshC thank you sir. Appreciate it!
-
@ShopatIronHeart Will these restock anytime this year or are we probably looking at next year? After scrolling back I saw you already had a restock around Febuary...
I'll definitely pick up a pair of these as I love the fabric on my 555s-21

I’ve worn these jeans for about 120 consecutive days. They started out a bit too tight, but I decided to push through it. They’re still snug around the waist, but comfortable overall. On days after a bit too much beer and snacks, I do wish they were one size bigger — but at least that encourages a healthy lifestyle
Compared to my 888 25oz, which is pretty baggy, these almost look tight in comparison. I don’t have side-by-side photos, but what do you guys think about the fit at this stage, on this pair?
-
@Josso that’s about how mine fit. Sometimes I wish they had a little more room, but I think they look good like this. If the waist gets a little snug, I like to soak the top few inches upside-down in the sink, towel dry, then wear them the rest of the day damp. May be ridiculous to some, but it get just enough room for me till the next wash.
-
@WhiskeySandwich Thanks, man — good to hear! Yeah, sounds like we’re in the same boat. I actually like the fitted look too, but that soak trick sounds clever — never tried that before. I might give it a go next time they start feeling too snug after a few beers
Only thing I’m a bit worried about is the first wash — hoping they don’t shrink too much and end up too small. -
@Josso the wash always makes em snug then they loosen up quick, it’s the waist on the 888 that needs the extra loosening for me but a little discomfort for a day while they stretch damp does the trick
