      I am looking at a pair of these (888s) or the vintage tapered cut.

      Are the 888s really much of a taper? The hem seems the same as the straight cuts I have like the 666s.

        @TwoHearted313 take a look at the cut comparison the website:

        https://ironheart.co.uk/pages/cut-comparison

        This may give you an idea on the differences, mainly a higher rise and a larger thigh measurement in the 888. The larger thigh measurement would also explain the more pronounced taper compared to the 666 even if the hem is similar.

        Another useful tool is the compare function on the product page. This will allow you to add up to 4 items to directly compare measurements

        Edit: core cuts explained

          Some runs seem more tapered than others to me — good to just check the chart, as always. I have a pair of XHS size 33, and the hem's right at about 8", which is noticeably smaller than, say, a 666 or 888 in my experience. They seem to fit over tall boots like engineers for a lot of people, but I have huge feet and 888s don't fit well over the pairs that I own. That said, they're a great cut. I prefer the taller rise over the 666/634.

            if you like straight cuts but with a normal rise, the 888 is great for you. 634 feels more like a low rise when i wear them.

              @jonatahncoll similar. I'll probably forget and miss the drop knowing my luck!

                    The people who have the inside scoop will post as soon as they have anything useful to say.

                      Alright these seem to keep getting pushed out even further, now its Oct. I think it is the universe telling me WAIT! I am actually going to JP next February and might just got to store in Tokyo and get these there, probably cheaper anyways. Does anyone have any insight on how the stock in stores? If I wait until Feb 2027 to get a pair of these in person, is there a big chance they will be out my size?

                        The 888 is a IH International. cut, as are the 1955, 555, 777, 684 and 666. Japan stock very limited, if any of these cuts. Some 555, some 666, practically no 888 and zero 777, 684 or 1955........
