IH-888S-RE - 14.7oz Eco Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut

[Jordanxbuffer]

I’m in-between sizes 34-36 on this pair and like my thighs to fit a big snug. How much stretch should I expect from this lighter weight denim?

Always size down in that instance.

That was my thought but the 33.5 waist has me sweating. Lol  ???

When you soak them just wear the waist damp for a bit… and ask the crew for the largest waist they have bud.

In this cut I think you’ll be fine.

Nabbed in a 33, my first pair in probably two years…

I’m not sure I remember my last pair at this point. Maybe my 633s?
Mine arrived yesterday but I worked late so this is my first crack at them. They are a little snug in the waist but I’m confident they’ll loosen up. I was expecting more of an Okinawa denim but they remind me of a smoother Dirt Denim from Trophy. It’s dark, stiff, and pretty coarse stuff which should be a killer fader.

Pardon the shit pics, it’s really overcast today.

I’m no fabric expert but they feel similar to Momotaro Zimbabwe cotton but without the hairy surface. Similarly course and crunchy.

They look great! Nice fit.

Thanks! They seem to settle in relatively quickly and the waist is already more comfortable.

Office lighting leg fades.

Keep up the good work, @tvenuto. I’m loving these. 888 is definitely the IH cut I’ve been waiting for. These will get a lot of wear this summer. Now, just have to settle in and wait for an 888 in regular XHS.

Can anyone chime in on how these breath / feel in the heat as compared to the 14oz fabric?

[Anesthetist]

I think they are warmer but it hasnt been horribly hot here yet.

These are my first pair of Iron Hearts and I'm loving them. Currently at one month in these.

The fabric on these has a lot of character and a lot hairier than I thought they'd be. The brown weft adds a really nice touch especially since the indigo is coming off very quickly. I'll try to take some close-ups of the fabric and areas of wear.

Cheers.

@truongj28 congratulations. I find this denim really interesting. Would love to see some pics.

Welcome to the forum, btw 

[truongj28]

Thanks brother! Still wearing them in, fades started showing quickly in high-stress areas but overall it's a slow fade (compared to my other denim). Think it's a pretty breathable denim given the humid weather I live in. Gonna take some pics of the fabric later this week. Cheers!
