IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk

[worn2fade]

When XHS restocked the 888 cut was the last one to drop, so is it safe to assume this would be the last cut to drop for XHSib?

I am sooooo torn about going 777 or 888, I have 6 pairs of 777, no 888 just the 502 which are similar cut, but really want the higher rise, dont think I need the bigger thighs but its not a huge difference between the two.

Anyone made the switch from 777 to 888 and have insights?

[worn2fade]

I think @Oaktavia has experience with both.

It is mostly a rise difference for me. I prefer the 888 over the 777, anything with a lower rise than a 634 I just can't do anymore. I absolutely love the extra room the 888 provides. They are just so comfortable and I don't have to worry about squishing anything.

There isn't a ton of extra room in the thighs and what is there helps with comfort and mobility.

[Ikeaparty]

@Oaktavia yeah there is the squishing and also lately I have noticed I get a mean plumbers crack if I tie my shoes haha, will see maybe I can try some on somewhere locally before this releases

[Oaktavia]

@Ikeaparty definitely worth trying out, especially if you can try them on first. I will never be buying a 777 again after trying 888 and 634.

@worn2fade honestly, there is no rhyme nor reason to the order they arrive.

(They've actually been at IHUK for weeks I'm just making you all work for it)

[jpvisual]

@Oaktavia high rise is the best. I wish IH would make a cut similar to the classic Levis 517 bootcut. It's all I used to wear for years. I think they might have had something like that a long time ago I saw, but I forgot the the model number. High rise all the way.

[kojimastreets]

@jpvisual true that. I would freaking love an IH bootcut!

@AdamJ just let me know what I need to do for them to come out of witness protection.

[Yoprst]

Any heads up on restock? Afraid to mention ETA

[AdamJ]

@Yoprst no updates yet I'm afraid

[worn2fade]

I’m sure it’s been discussed already so forgive me for asking again but would this release have hidden arch’s?

[jebrand]

@worn2fade I'm hoping it does, we'll see

[AdamJ]

@worn2fade What do you mean hidden arch's sorry?

Edit: Oh the arcuates on the rear pockets! We'll see when they arrive..

[worn2fade]

@AdamJ everything’s a surprise with this drop hahaha. But yeah thanks man, sorry I didn’t know the text book word for that lol.
