IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
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

@WhiskeySandwich those look splendid
-
@Oaktavia thank you sir! They’re quite nice, if I say so myself. Super comfy.

These were my first Iron Heart jeans. I don't track wears, but they've been machine-washed twice. The belt is from Hawkmoth Leather Company.
