IH-888S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

@WhiskeySandwich

Oh no doubt, the 21oz is amazing. For me it’s the opposite with the butt, although the 21oz don’t sag, the thickness of the back pockets makes it look a little weird when I walk, they kind of slightly jut out to the side with each step. And they’re not too big. It doesn’t matter, I love my 21 too and look forward to wearing them a lot when it cools down

Quoted, just so I can say "Told you so" to all the people who think washing jeans is a sin.....

RESTOCK

@Alex

I am currently a 37” waist. Would I be better off grabbing the size 36 (waist measures 35.2) and hope I can get some good stretch or should I grab size 38 (waist measures 37.7). Understand these are twisted weft so I’m not sure how that affects stretch potential.

[A Former User]

@pjroo33 maybe try emailing them directly, they really are very responsive, helpful and friendly.
Personally that would be too much for me to go for. I try and get as close to my exact waist measurement if not a little more over and even then it feels somewhat restrictive and requires breaking in. It’s all great walking around and or standing but then I jump in the car or sit on a bench to watch my daughter play basketball and I realise that they still need a bit more to go.
I’m loving the 14oz jeans though. Just recieved my 4th pair recently and I’m a big fan, especially now Summer is on its way.

I’m a 37” waist and I got these in a 36 hoping it would stretch a bit. It’s super tight at first in the waist, everywhere else is great. They don’t seem to stretch too much, so either I slim down or size up. Although I do go with the 38 in the 666 and 555s as in those cuts the 36 is too small all around.

It’s weird though because I do have some older Iron Hearts in a 888OD and 305s? where the 36 fits great.

Just realized I’m no help lol.

[Alex]

@pjroo33 assuming you mean a 37.0" waist (measured on jeans, not on you), you want to target an actual waist of 37.0" on the new pair, so I would ask for a big 36 or a small 38. We can measure within the piles to see what variance there is.

[drewfonse]

Man I really love these jeans. I struggled with a few different pairs of the 888 cut in different weights size 30 that ultimately got a little too tight even with just occasional cold wash/hang dry and no body changes on my part. Sized up to a 31 in this and they feel great. Room to tuck in a t shirt but not baggy at all. Did the same with the 18oz and just ordered the 17oz natural indigo.

And I think my days of struggling to wear heavyweight denim in my warm/hot climate are done. 14/17/18 max. Even the 14oz is tough as nails compared to other brands.

[grumpyB]

Hey guys, i am wearing size 30 in 777s-142, should i go with the same size on these 888s-142? i am kinda lost. I cant refer to sizing chart since i actually never had any relax taper before.

[worn2fade]

@grumpyB make sure the waist and thigh measurements are good and let the rest just be what they are. Those two measurements are what matters most. If you can fit in a 777 though I’m assuming you don’t have huge thighs so if that’s the case just go with your comfortable waist measurement.
