IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG

@Ral1121 said in IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG:
For those saying the 888 will fit slimmer that is only half ways true when comparing to the 634. Especially depending on what length you wear the jeans at. The biggest difference I think is the 888 has more room in the top block due to it being high rise. While the 888 does taper there is not a huge difference when comparing knee width and if you cuff or get your jeans tailored to a shorter length, then there is not as big a difference in hem width. There is still a taper there but not quite as much as the measurements make it out to be I feel. At least this is my perspective. For me, mid rise jeans just do not work because of the room I need in the top block along with thigh size.
Not sure if your conclusions are based on your own experience having both 634 and 888 cuts in one and the same size, or just theoretical inferences. I have both cuts and my conclusions are purely practical - by the cut of each model they're quite distinguishable - while 634 is classic straight regular fit, 888 is tighter and slimmer one and it doesn't matter if you alter them - they won't resemble 634 unless you shorten them up to the knees. Higher rise has nothing to do with extra room in the top block, 'cause when we speak of the room in the top block we mean room for the butts and hips. All that high/mid/low rise does is the level of your top button/belt being closer to your belly button or (pardon my French) your balls

@Yoprst True, but as a tall fella I have noticed that extra front rise length does help when sitting down. Or maybe I just haven't had enough jeans to comment.

@Yoprst my own observations are based on trying on both the 634 and 888. I do not see a ton of difference in fit from knee down. Are the 634s a looser fit? Yes but not by all that much and even less if you cuff like I do roughly 3-4”. Like I said the biggest difference for me was high rise vs medium rise. Maybe there really is not more room in the top block like you say but it definitely makes a big difference for me. I am a gym rat and have always had issues with Jean fit and having the high rise does make a huge difference for me especially once I start moving around standing up kneeling down. Stand still is not as noticeable but the 888s do not feel as tight and give me just enough space to move. Again this is just my personal observation and others may see this differently.

When this comes out and I place an order, can I still ask to pick the biggest tag 32 from the stock? Or should I ask first before I place it? Kinda anxious that this will run out very quickly especially the size I'm looking for.
Will this come out to stockist? I mean specifically in Manila?

@Kurbrubador it’s always best to place an order and leave a note with your measurement requirements so you can secure a pair first. Asking for measurements beforehand doesn’t guarantee availability, and the pair may sell out before you place the order. Once your order is in, we’ll do our best to find the most suitable pair available for your measurements.

@ShopatIronHeart I am looking for a 31.5" in waist:
Am I better off ordering a 31, for you to look for a larger 31 or a 32, looking for a smaller 32?
I am prepared to place the order upon launch. Thank you!
-
@jglatz is the 31,5 your ”start-waist” or ”end-state”?
I’m guessing start, and if it were me I would go for 31 and as for a larger pair.
However, I once ordered a tag 35, and the guys came back to me (because I wanted a smaller 35), and found a tag 34 that matched my desired measurements. -
Looks like the measurements for the tag 32 changed
-
I noticed the 38 sizing changed to 37.1" waist, I'm looking for a size close to 38" waist to start (to stretch to 39" final) and a 14.2" thigh. Would I be safe to ask for the largest size 38 you have? The size 40 dimensions as a whole are too big. I will be sure to order right away but just curious how much variation they might have. Looking forward to this one!

Copped!
-
Got them
-
First 21oz and first black pair for me, nice!
-
Let's gooooooooooo! Got 'em. Nothing kicks off summer like a pair of heavy black denim

Yikes PayPal charged me and order didn't go through. Used card instead and worked. Good thing the money from the first attempt came back asap. Size 40 secured
