IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Everything is fulfilled from IHUK so the delivery will arrive today from Japan, we will then divvy out and ship them all to retailers and the release date that we post here will be a blanket release date for all the retailers too so it gives them a chance to receive them and we all start selling them at the same time.

@Graham Amazing thanks for the info and apologies as I'm sure you've answered this across the forums hundreds of times. I'm just new to the process and been patiently waiting for this drop to try them out in London since November

@Graham nice, thanks for the update!

Hmmmm, do i have space for another pair in the rotation???

Just got my OD's of this cut in the mail yesterday and first day wearing them. SO SOFT!
I will say this cut compared to the 633 requires thinking about your waist measurements a little different, since these sit so high. They hit a smaller part of the waist. I was really nervous with the size 31', which had a 30.5" true measurement (in the 633 I have 31.2" and they're great), but these could have actually been even tighter and I woulda been alright with the stretch that will come. Just food for thought for someone going with their first pair of 888's!

First pair of 21oz 888s and they're fantastic! I tried getting into the 777s and 666s, but they were incredibly tight on my legs. This cut feels much better. I had concerns that these would be too tight as well, but after a couple hours they have loosened up already and are very comfortable. Thanks again @Alex for the last minute fit advice!

They look perfect!

@Graham thanks! I picked them up at Self Edge, SF. Easily the best damn jeans I've ever had. Thanks @RobeOfTheMagi

888 fit check what do we think? Size 32. Debating whether these or the 634 are "my cut".

Finally pulled the trigger this weekend and so happy I did. Now to wear the shit out of these to get them comfier and looking amazing. First pair of IH denim, I'm excited!

@m4xime welcome to the "slippery slope", my friend! These were my first intro to IH about a year ago, and let's just say my closet has undergone a serious make-over. Not only with multiple pairs of jeans, but jackets and tons of buttons down shirts (UHFs, Westerns and Work shirts), and also not just IH, but IH has led me to appreciate the high quality craftsmanship coming out of Japan from other brands. It's clearly pricier, but to know your supporting workers who are fairly compensated for their labor (which is also more about what you're NOT supporting when you don't buy clothes coming from other brands), in my mind it's worth the price. I know in a lot of ways this is coming from a place of privilege to have the $ to be able to do it, but I'm not a tech person (no hate for those who are), but as a teacher making a modest living, I'm choosing to support sustainable industries and pay more to do it. Anyways, my rant is done. Sick jeans, and enjoy them!

@MSav32323 well said!

Is there a break in process for these? I've read some people doing soaks, hanging until damp then wear them to set creases and shrink in some areas. Do most people do this?
