@don_pipone the indigo/black looks super similar to the indigo/indigo, especially when new. The really only way to tell the difference is having the two side by side in ideal lighting. ib is just darker, has actual black, slightly more contrast potential, BUT ii is extremely dark when new so it's easy to think one is the other.
-
@Oaktavia thanks mate! That‘s actually what I assumed. I think I will pass on the ii until the ib needs to be replaced. No need for me to have two very similar pairs - at least that’s what I‘m saying now
-
@don_pipone if it makes you feel better about the consideration, I have indigo/black in 14oz, 19oz, 21oz and 25oz. Ha!

@Oaktavia Come on man! My wife is gonna hate you for that
-
@don_pipone considering the fact that the 19ib was run once 6 years ago and the 21ib is not coming back I don't think you or Stevie have that much to worry about
-
@Tago-Mago That doesn't make it any less of a problem. Just means I'm running out of excuses
-
@Tago-Mago I mean that's a very reasonable argument. Unfortunately, reason has never stopped me from buying more denim.

@Northman said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:
For those who own both IH work pants and 888s, how noticeable is the difference in rise and overall comfort?
I'm not super experienced, but I usually size up one in a work pant compared to my 888 size. They're more akin to the 634, designed to sit more on your hips than your waist. You'll need that little bit of extra rise room to allow the work pants to slide up your legs when you bend or sit. Otherwise, you'll end up with a builder's bum because you won't have enough thigh-space for the trousers to slide up, so they'll slide down instead.
Hope that makes sense! TL;DR: I recommend sizing up once from your 888 size in a work pant.

@don_pipone denim is like beer. I only ever have two beers, the first and the last. Kinda like I only have the pair I’m wearing and one spare pair
