eagerly awaiting the drop of these aswell! doing all sorts of math to make sure I get it right the first time
recently sold off my 555xhsib and a pair of 555s that I sized too small on. so I have the extra funds ready for these! (and quite possibly another pair of wescos
)555 and 888 are quite different cuts. You can not have both of them fitting like a glove in the same size tag

@Yoprst true, I have a pair of 634, 555, and 888 at the moment all for different fits. I like how these have a higher rise and smaller leg opening than the 634 but they aren't too restrictive. 555's are definitely my cut when sized right but I like the extra room sometimes.
currently I just have the 888 in 14oz OD in a tag size 34. they measure almost exactly what the size guide shows for tag 32 in these xhsib. so i'm planning on a tag 32 for this drop depending on if the measurements for this run work out. possibly 31 but I'd rather err on the side of caution
-
I have funds set aside for when these next drop. They look awesome.

Damn wish the 777 had tonal stitching

@Denimhead-0 thanks man!
@Gavin666 tonal stitching FTW
-
@Oaktavia so awesome man! Definitely making my decision an easy one once these release. Always look forward to your pics but the XHSib ones just hit a little different haha.

Apologies if answered already somewhere. What is the sizing usually like on these? Do you size down one and they stretch out a little?

You'll find a lot of different answers for this one. Starting with the most common, I'd say they mostly fall along these lines:
- Go true to size.
- Go a little bit bigger.
- Go a little bit smaller.

@1WayTrip I went true to size with my XHS and UHR, both in 888 cut. IB will vary a bit but based on last drops measurements I would’ve stuck with a 34 for the same fit. Doesn’t seem like you need to size up if the measurements stay the same, biggest piece of advice is make sure you have space for your thighs (assuming you have thick thighs, usually what draws people to this cut.)
-
@nurunuru I can’t imagine anyone sizing down on an 888. Not saying no one has but shoot, this would be impossible for me lol.

How about compared to 634 sizing? I always gravitate back towards the 634, just get tired of the lower rear rise, need something slightly higher. Front rise is spot on. I usually wear a size 40.
Tried both the 666 in a 42 and 888 in a 40 and they were both a no go. 666 I didn’t mind the slim profile, but they have even less of a rear rise compared to the 634. 888 had way too much front rise for me, so they didn’t work either.
I notice the 555 has a lower front rise with a higher rear rise, which seems to be what i’m looking for. Measurements between the 555 and 634 in a size 40 are similar in the thigh and such, my concern is the knee down. I pretty much fill out a pair of 634’s in the top block. I could definitely do without the extra material from the knee down, without them being “too slim”. Basically is it worth giving the 555 a go in my 634 size?
-
They dont have the same thigh measurement. A tag 40 634 has a 15.3 thigh and a tag 40 555 has a 14.8 thigh. Those are flat measurements. Effectively the 634 is an inch wider at the thigh measurement and that is just the start. By the time you get to the knee the 634 is almost 2 inches wider. That is no small difference. You are comparing the slimmest cut to the roomiest cut at the same size. The differences are big. I am not trying to sway you one way or the other. Just to caution you.
