Where does everyone live?

Morning all, am new here from London UK. First IHs were 777s bought last year, and I'm currently awaiting a delivery of a pair of 888s today… fingers crossed they're the perfect fit. Really nice to be here!

Welcome Polly, good to have you here. I’ll be interested to hear your opinions on the 777 vs. 888. Also, how do you find wearing 21oz denim in London? Strictly a cold weather thing?

Thanks Neph. Well, I'd hoped the 777s would be a good relaxed fit - obviously I'd not taken a proper look at the measurements! They're great, but they're far tighter than I was looking for, particularly around the thighs. That said, they're still a dream to wear because of the denim. The 888s are my search for a more straight, slightly oversized, masculine cut… As for wearing 21oz in London? They're all year round for me - flip flops in the summer to balance it all out.

Pleased to hear that. I think the 21oz is great all year round denim, and very forgiving to wear.

I hope the 888’s meets your needs. Sounds like they may well do. I love the cut for it’s versatility. Have a pair of 888-XHS on their way to me in Norway right now. I normally size down in them but this pair will be TTS for comfort.

A small update: The 888s arrived yesterday and did nothing for me. Saggy in the seat due to the higher rise and where I wanted to wear them, and the thighs were too big. But the 666 which arrived today? Damn near perfect… Just trying them again but I think I'm in love.

I’m a bit jealous of you @Polly… I loved checking out all the cuts and seeing what worked, exploring sizing etc.

For me the 888 needs to be worn high waisted as the top block is looooong. It works well for me and if I size down I fill out the... erm, pockets, and thighs nicely. 666 is something else though. An absolute classic slim top block. If you can pull off the thighs (which I generally can’t), it’s a blinding bit of jeans design.

Polly

Yes @neph93 - that's exactly it. (Well, not the "pockets" bit for me - ha.) I want these low slung on the hips and so there's just too much bulk in the 888 and it throws off the whole shape. The 666 work SO nicely worn lower, and because I've sized up to fit my hips rather than waist, the thighs are good, too. It's slim, relaxed and
a flawless line - the perfect shape imo. Might not take them off. Do IHUK offer hemming while I'm still wearing them?
