IH-888S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - OD'd
-
Well I finally caved and copped a pair. With these and the 14v2 pair I'm all set in the OD department.
Just one pair?!
-
Lol, well I do have a pair of 634-OB that were one of the earliest IH products I ever got. I’ve worn the hell out of them but ever since getting the 14v2 I fell in love with the 888 cut. Went with a tag 34 (like my 634) so I hope to get some decent stretch fairly quickly. They arrived today and I know what I’ll be wearing tomorrow…

Quick question.. wearing a 34 in the 888 21oz Indigo.. had them for about 2-3 weeks and the feel great. Should I go same size in OD 888? Looking to add another pair to my rotation so I'm not wearing the same pair every day of the week to my office. Thanks in advance!

Always go by measurements and not tag size. If your 888s feel great, measure them the IH way and look for those measurements on the 888s-OD measurement chart. The OD doesn't shrink at all so take that into account (not sure if you've washed the 888s).
You're gonna love the OD!

@Paul9221 is right, measurements are key rather than tagsize. However in this case the you are safe to order the same. The IH-888S-OD is exactly the same jean as the IH-888S, just overdyed. This means that the jeans shrink a little in the overflying, so the measurements often come up a little smaller, however they will also stretch out a little more and a little quicker.
So go with the same tagsize in the OD, but expect them to be a little tighter for the first wear. After that you’ll find they end up similar to your 888S.

So, about 18 months ago, I got a pair of 888-142OD and loved them.. sadly they never quite stretched to where I needed, and I have gotten a little larger, so while they looked fantastic, comfort and mobility were an issue.
Thankfully, [mention]Brock [/mention] was in the opposite situation with a pair of 21oz ODs, so we initiated a good ol’ fashioned forum trade and I think it worked well for us both!
Crazy how much more room the 21oz version have in the same tagged size, snd should be perfect for me after a little more give.
I’ll be rocking them stacked and cuffed for a bit until some combs set and then send a pack off to IHUK for some hemming in a few Months.
I’ve been enjoying straight cuts lately, so a little less taper and a fuller thigh and higher rise fits well for me in these!
I apologize for the sloppy hem, I’ll have them cuffed next time I’m sure

Gave them a double cuff and I think the leg works well for me

Just before a soak
-
a wave hit me just before, wet below the knees, so we carried on with the walk and then gave the jeans a soak when home
-
This is one way to get some OD fades…

About three months of wearing most days, love how these are coming along, so solid.

Thanks @neph93 my washing routine is quick wash (30 mins) 30 C no spin then I lay flat on a towel and roll it up before hang drying. This pair have been washed three times I think.
