@Luke_is_back I’m not Alex (obviously) but for general dyeing, weaving, other terminology, this should get you up to speed.
-
@Luke_is_back The warp is the outside of the jeans, the weft is the inside, inside wont fade...
-
@Luke_is_back see below, taken from the product page:
If you scroll through this thread or the other XHSib threads you will find plenty of photos documenting the evolution of the fades.
As far as sizing goes, if you already own a pair of 888, measure them using this guide:

Then compare those measurements to the size chart to determine which tag size is closest to your pair.

@Tago-Mago I own 777/ 19oz Left Hand in size 32, which is tight, im thinking going for 33 in 888, what do you think?
-
@Luke_is_back 777 and 888 are very different cuts, so I wouldn’t give you a blanket recommendation based on a tag size. Again, the most important part is knowing the actual measurements of the clothes you own. Measure your 777, then look at the size chart. This should give you a good starting point in your search for a new pair of denim.
Here’s a visual comparison of the different cuts:

You should also consider at which point your 777 are too tight. Too tight in general, too slim in the thighs, too narrow on the waist, etc
-
@Luke_is_back depends on where you feel them tight on you - tight in the waist is one story, tight in the thighs is another. Tell you what - I tried 777 on and found them tight in the thighs/crotch area. I found 888 to be just what doctor prescribed for me. In both cases (777/888) tag size was the same, my regular W32
Check how 888 fits me on this forum bottom dedicated pages, there is enough pics I've posted wearing 888 -
@Yoprst @Tago-Mago Thanks for info
-
@Luke_is_back im also not Alex, but when it comes to the sizing part of your question - buy whatever size that matches the measurements of your best fitting pair currently. Though the waist will shrink 1”, it will stretch back out relatively quick.
Keep in mind you will lose 1-1.25” in the inseam, so if you get them hemmed— plan for that.
Also make sure all measurements you need line up with your best fitting pair if you need certain measurements. Sometimes you may have to size up due to have a bigger thigh compared to your waist measurement.
EDIT: my page just updated and I see you had many responses. Disregard mine if you already got your answer lol.

Anytime dude, glad you got em. I saw your previous post on this thread along with the gnarly fades you got. Mind me asking why you’re doubling down on this pair?

@drkevy I sometimes find with restock notifications, I get the email like 10minutes after the drop... it's not practical but I always follow the calendar and check social media posts for when restocks will happen, that way I can show up at :00 on the dot and get what I'm after
Hope you got them elsewhere!
