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

Close to 6 years owned I think. My first pair of Iron Heart denim. They’ve been worn heavily in rotation for periods of time, and not so much at other points. Recently been wearing a bit more again but also wearing a pair of the selfedge 19oz 633 which I’m absolutely loving.
These have been worn and washed and unknown amount of times. Repaired a few times but still very wearable

My pair from March '24, plenty of wear and bike riding:
