IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans

What's up with the thighs? I read back but I'm lost

[spitfiredealer]

Well the 21oz version came in smaller than planned. Sounds like this will do the same.

[Matty123]

Ah ha… I see. The shrink test showed .26 inch of shrink in the thigh. Dang I'm gonna have to size up too.

@Giles What are the odds of finding a size 30 pair with thigh measurement of 12.6 inches? Or will I need to size up?

[Giles]

Zero idea until they get here….

[flavour79]

When are these hitting the shores ? Any ETA

[Giles]

Mid/Late Oct

Thanks Giles

[Giles]

Tom san reckons the NT should be closer to original concept….

[celik]

If so, you can def count me in for the UHR version.

[Dion]

Enough room for shrinkage. Excellent!

i pre-ordered a size 40, however i might need a 42 based on thigh measurements. if i need to up-size to a 42, will i still receive the DWC patch model?

[Giles]

Yes.  We make more jeans than we need (some will be patched NT and others UHR).  We over order patches and replace as need be…

[flavour79]

Giles will retailers have access to this model??

[Giles]

Nope….. (Well, Denim Manilla are taking 4 pairs)....

Mildblend are taking a few of the IH-888-UHR version.....That's it

[manufc10]

Boggles my mind some of the gear that retailers refuse to take.

[neph93]

I suspect that the average customer at R&H or B&S isn't the same person as the average IHUK customer.

[Giles]

Well, retailers were not offered the IH-888NT (Kai from Denim Manilla asked me nicely if he could have some, and as I am seeing him in Manilla in a couple of months, I thought I ought to be nice to him  )

And generally, the UHR does not sell well to retailers, I'd call it a specialist denim and really only sells to people who really know what they're getting into.
