Thanks Everyone. especially to @Alex and @Giles for asking and allowing me to sample these. The color in the photos is pretty accurate. Light of course effects any color but these photos show a few of the various ways they can look depending on the lighting. And yes @Filthy the blue does differ from the II maybe it’s the black cross stitching. I love these jeans.

@Matty123 Thx for posting - great evolution so far! I love this indigo-black denim. @Filthy 's description of the blue color being cobalt is spot on. In general I just love super dark indigo jeans, and the black weft really makes these exceptionally dark. I hope I can make my stars align to score a pair of these when they drop… I'm predicting these will be another IH future epic model.

@Matty123 after your soaks have you gotten any stretch? It’s been awhile since I’ve had 25oz and I can’t remember what it will do. Joe

Thanks Neph, I thought as much. It thought I’d ask the redundant question.
-
Like Reuben said. I just did a hot hand wash and they have shrunk a bit. But are stretching back out. I have some numbers on the early pages. But they stretch back slower than say the 21 oz
-
Thanks Marty, they look amazing. I wasn’t going to get these at first but after looking at the pictures have decided to get back into 25oz and there is no promise they will make the 888 in 25oz again. So I’m just trying to work out what size I’ll need and just sit patiently.

The 888 has (in ways) replaced the BB cut for those wanting a regular fit, mid rise cut with more taper than the 634. Where as the BB cut had a moderate taper, the 888 has a more aggressive taper for a more modern silhouette.
I was a BB fan back in the day and feel the 888 cut is a fresh take on that - one that even more people can enjoy due to the non-restrictive top block many iterations of the BB cut had.
Hope you are able to get a pair of really enjoy them

I Agree they are totally different - I was simply saying they are both options for those wanting a more refined regular cut Jean because it was asked.
Sorry if people got confused with what I was trying to get across.

@Giles & IHUK crew - a few of the usual questions - How many pairs will be available (particularly 33)? Is this a JP release, what's the extent worldwide? What other stockists will get these, or IHUK only? Do you expect them to sell out quickly? (um - yeah, duh). What's the extent of this denim - Will this 888XHSib ever be re-run again, or will this denim be used for other cuts, like @kiya 's 633?
I'll say it again, for me this is an epic, grail denim. XHS denim is one of my favorites ever. I missed out on the Pronto double indigo, but I think I might prefer this IxB even better. Cheers! mpp

I took your point as being that the 888 fills the hole left by the BB cut being retired, while at the same time not being the BB cut. In which case I agree.

When we create the forum thread we'll list world-wide stockists. I guess we are getting 6-8 tag 33 at IHUK, will know when we have sorted out the allocations (what get's made is often different from what we order - because either we lose some in QC or Tom makes more to account for QC failures, and then less than predicted fail)…
We have enough of the denim on hand to make about 300 pairs of somethings.....
