IH-888S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans

[Bums_Fan]

I had a similar thought. Rise and thigh measurements look off from average 888 historicals.

for reference the current 777-18 measurements: https://www.ironhearteu.com/bottoms/IH-777S-18.html . Similar but not identical

@WhiskeySandwich @Bums_Fan @Tago-Mago Apologies guys, this updated size chart was meant to be imported within the correct forum thread, the 666s-18. No 888's as of yet.. the size chart within this current thread will be corrected back to the original chart in situ prior to receiving a restock in the near future.

My mistake guys. I'm just as excited to get some 888S-18's. Apologies!

@AdamJ really looking forward to these. Tried the 666 in store, but gotta stay true to my 888 and be patient hah!

This is such a great denim. One of the more textured offerings, with hints of bright blue right off of the bat. The weather is starting to cool just a bit, so I busted out my GOAT 21s and these. So good.

Hi all, any update on a restock?

[Graham]

@Ridgemont Should just be another month or so.

[Corteenz]

@AdamJ Hi there, really interested in a restock date for these. I know it’s been awhile. Any insight?

[Tago Mago]

@Corteenz FYI I have moved your question to the product thread

[AdamJ]

@Corteenz should be here very soon, considering we've had the majority of the other cuts!

[Corteenz]

@Tago-Mago thank you! I’m new to the forum and learning how things work. Love your products!!

[Corteenz]

Looking for my first pair of IHs. I started looking into the overdyeds first but thinking I should maybe start with a classic pair of indigos. For those of you that have both the 18oz vintage and the 21oz “classic”, any observations with regards to (1) which one actually wears warmer / is more appropriate year round (and maybe the answer is neither), (2) difference in texture - I would say sleeker / cleaner is better but is the 18oz really that slubby or just relative to the 21s? (3) any other thoughts or things you considered when ordering the 18oz would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

I have 888-21OD/555-18. You're right. The 21 isn't slubby or hairy. It really comes out of the box soft and stays that way. I've had mine for about 8 months and even now the weave is tight with slight degree of fuzz. With that said, the 18 isn't really slubby IMO. The denim is a coarse out of the box and a little hairy. It does feel like a slower weave denim. I wore them both in summer and felt fine. Maybe the 21oz fairs a bit better in really hot weather but the 18 works too. Personally, I love the 18oz. The denim is almost electric blue from day one.

@lionheart Honestly, when it comes down to it you really just have to try them on to see. I know that might not be possible, but I've scoured these forums looking for confirmation on a particular fit or fabric. You really can't know until you try it on.

[lionheart]

@kantian yep I fully appreciate that and thank you for the detailed response above. Just trying to minimize having to order and send back, but I may just have to.

i have the 18oz in a 777 and a 21oz 888. I'll try and snap some comparison pics when i get home. I love me some 21oz in all its forms, but there's def something special about the 18oz vintage. It's got a great texture and imo, the weight makes it one of the most versatile denims in the lineup. this denim also fades amazingly too, and fast compared to the 21oz. I'd probably get a new set of 18oz in the 888 when they drop cuz my 777 is a bit skinny.
