I can already hear "The Ride of the Valkyries" from "Apocalypse Now"... Lol

[mikemakuch71]

these have a tonal accurate pocket?

[Tago Mago]

@mikemakuch71 yes

[mikemakuch71]

really ? have the 888’s always been like that?

[Tago Mago]

@mikemakuch71 these have, see here. There have been tonal arcs on other models, but the majority of models have contrast arcs

[mikemakuch71]

@Tago-Mago the only tonal pockets i knew of were the 555 21oz but now they are gold stitch.. how long have the 888’s been tonal? i guess i never noticed

[Tago Mago]

@mikemakuch71 I'm basing this on the pics in this thread and my guess is from the beginning. @ShopatIronHeart tonal arcs on the 888-XHSib since inception?

You could always... you know... read through the thread, I've spent a good 30-40 minutes going through all the pictures on here a few times...

This denim is something else. Good luck to everyone on the restock tomorrow!

@mikemakuch71 I have longed for an 888 xhs ib contrast, maybe someday. The 888 21oz ib’s were contrast, however, it doesn’t look like they are coming back.

Make sure you can sign into the website and have credit card ready! I’m ready for the first 25 oz.

@ShopatIronHeart

I’m hoping these measurements will work for me. I need a minimum inseam of 36” after washing. I understand the care guidelines specify approximately 1 inch of shrinkage in the inseam. However, I understand shrinkage is dependent on total inseam length, so I’m wondering if anyone can shed light on what I can expect on a 37” inseam after all shrinkage is accounted for? I have several pairs of jeans that are too short after their first wash or two, and I don’t want to go through that heartache again.

Based on my experience, after a soak and a wash on my XHS (not IB,) they only shrunk 1”.

I got mine hemmed to 34.5, after the initial soak they sat at 33.5” and after my first wash a couple days ago it stayed the same.

But based on @CosmoSix5 comment on his ib’s (triple 6,) he lost more than 1” in inseam if I’m not mistaken after his initial soak + wash.

@worn2fade I appreciate the info. I’m hoping that IH has an extra-long pair on the shelves, fingers crossed. @CosmoSix5 Can you share your experience with this fabric?
