@WhiskeySandwich Like this fit.

[twin]

@WhiskeySandwich They sure are looking great.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@twin thank you sir! The 888 is definitely my cut!

[twin]

@WhiskeySandwich You know what is my best cut in jeans?

[yannis]

@twin. 777 is my guess

[twin]

@yannis You are right. 777-XHSib.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I have a pair of 777 in the 18oz vintage, and they fit nice too, but are a bit large in the waist and small everywhere else. for me, the 888 is the opposite.

@AdamC

When can we expect a restock?

[popvulture]

@tdb85 soon I believe. It’ll be announced here — best way to know is to click the little bell at the top and set up email notifications for this thread.

[AdamJ]

@tdb85 soon, the run is due to complete any week now

@AdamJ cannot freaking wait

Just an update. I’ve washed them around 5 times since I got them. Absolutely my favorite pair. Might need to pick up the SBG jacket to pair them with.

@alvory most excellent fit! i'm 19 days into my 666 SBG and i'm loving the denim. coming from UHR i was surprised at how comfortable they are right out of the gate.

i've been really curious about the 888. i really like how the hem suits a boot like my iron ranger, but i get confused by the sizing. sometimes they look relaxed on people and sometimes they look fitted. if i could find an 888 in XHS that fit me like this i'd be HYPED.

anyway, looking stellar dude.

@indigo_nico I think the fit ultimately depends on how one is built and how you size them. If I was to surmise based on your avatar that you ride bikes often, you'd probably find the 888 fitted, albeit not excessively so, through the legs.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@SonnyTheElder I agree with you totally. @indigo_nico The waist is the key on the 888, i think if you have a slim waist they can be pretty slim throughout, if you go snug in the waist. My thighs are a bit too big for the other cuts but not “big” by any means, but a 12.7” pant thigh is pushing it. I have some pretty slim ones and some looser 888s. I think this cut is really versatile though and even if you size up or go “loose” like @Oaktavia, they tend to still look pretty smart. If you have a proportionately bigger waist though, they may be a bit looser below. Also depends on how far you hike that rise up your ass. I like to wear mine no higher than my underoos

@indigo_nico said in IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG:
Thanks man. I definitely agree with the other guys saying size for the waist and your build would dictate how these fit. I'm also a cyclist with decent lower body size relative to my waist and they seem to fit pretty spot on without being too relaxed or sloppy. I'm a true 32" and 6' tall for reference

Sounds like it’s time to nerd out on some 888 size charts and see if Mildblend has any stock to try on. Thanks for the advice guys!
