IH-888S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - OD'd

[Appfaff]

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

Great pair of jeans sir. Well done. On another note this pic looks like a still from a mid-period David Lynch movie. I love it.

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

Did you walk into the ocean immediately after taking this picture?  [emoji14]

[Nik]

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…

Cycling is the best way to fade!

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

Gorgeous roping on those @Nkwkfld. What is your washing routine?

[Nik]

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.

[neph93]

Figured. I think the OD is one of those fabrics that does well with regular washing.

What’s the main difference between the 888 and selfedges 633 fit please cheers lee

The 633 is the same medium rise top block and relaxed thigh as the 634 but with taper from the knee to hem. The 888 has a higher rise that narrows towards the waist, an a relaxed leg that tapers evenly from the top of the thigh all the way to the hem, giving an overall slimmer profile than the 634 and 633, as the knee is narrower.

Usually they’re not cuffed
