Back from repair and still going strong. I bought these 1 size too big. I've learned to size down 1 inch in the waist from where you want them to end up. These have also loosened up a lot in the thighs to the knee (even though people say they don't change). My own body measurements thighs etc haven't changed a bit. Maybe just the 21oz. My 21oz sbgs also loosened up a ton. These are super soft and very comfortable now. Great summer jeans! Still going to wear these a lot.

Gents, I hope this is the right spot to ask this question - apologies if it isn't, I did spend most of this morning perusing the forum and couldn't find a better spot than this one.
I received a pair of 643s in 21oz (size 31, with the wonderful IH staff having informed me by e-mail in advance that they had a 30.5 waist measurement - Jesus, talk about customer service!) earlier this week and I'm blown away by the quality. I've worn my fair share of raws over the last 20 years, but never experienced anything like the IH fabric.
I'm 100% committed to grabbing a pair of 888s in 21oz when they're restocked (I saw the comment above indicating a provisional July/August timeframe). The only thing I need to figure out now is whether to go for a size 30 or size 31.
The 643s with a 30.5 waist fit me like they were made-to-measure for me. Scrap that: I actually do have several MTM jeans, and none of them fit me as well on the waist as these).
I've also read several comments on this forum of people suggesting to go down one size in the 888s when compared to the 634. Others suggest taking the same size.
Right now I'm leaning towards buying a size 30 and leaving a comment on the order asking to find a pair with a close-to-30.5-waist. Any thoughts or feedback from you more experienced gents? Is there a "golden standard" on ordering a bigger size and asking for a smaller waist from stock, versus ordering a smaller size and asking for a bigger waist from stock?
Thanks everyone, highly appreciate any and all input.

@M.EDS You'll need to wait for the sizing chart to be posted, it changes from different releases/restocks... I'm sure you could get a 30.5 like you said if you put a note with your order

@M.EDS After about 6 pairs of 888s i can honestly say i regret a little bit sizing down with my early pairs. It's annoying having to stretch them back out after i wash them.
My thighs fill out the 888 pretty well, but the waist is definitely the tightest part of this cut imo. the 1" of stretch they post in the product description is where you should be. I dont try to go for more than that anymore.
My trick for 888 sizing is to measure my own waist around the outside of my underwear's elastic, then get the waist size 0.5" smaller than that. YMMV.
