666 cut is very different than 888, so I would be loathe to compare those. So shoot for as close to 88cm in the new measurement chart for these, when it comes out. Looking historically, I’d say you’ll want 34 or 35. Tight XHS is not enjoyable to wear, IMO.
I’ve been thinking of this comment the last day and honestly have been considering a potential size up on this pair.
My current XHS fit me perfectly in all places, maybe a little “too” perfect. I’m wondering if sizing up will provide more comfort. In no way do I feel like my pair is “too tight” though. I know with my current measurements the waist fits me spot on but I doubt a size up will be a significant change on the waist.
(Just to clarify by ‘sizing up’ I don’t mean the tag size, but the measurement size, I know tag size means nothing at times.)

@worn2fade it took me a long time to learn, but now I only have XHS in a “size up”. I get way more joy out of wearing them, where it used to be kind of a struggle sometimes.

I think I dig this idea. Thankfully I have 5 days to think about it haha.
May even go crazy and hem these for a clean break. Size up and hemmed? Talk about breaking out of my comfort zone.

@worn2fade I'm sizing up in all my next 888 cuts. Love my current fits but want more room, especially when getting in and out of my truck, which sits pretty high off the ground, even for a tall guy like me. Also, will make IWB a bit more comfortable for me.

@kojimastreets I feel you man, I drive a lifted 4Runner and I jump into my car. I stopped trying to climb in a long time ago after getting into heavy denim. I think sizing up is a wise play honestly.
-
^ so long as the waist doesn't get too loose. Maybe its just my OCD talking but if my jeans are too loose in the waist I just won't wear them. I hate the feeling of a high rise jean sliding down because the waisnt isn't snug.

@Phil_NYC another thing that I don’t like is a bunched up waistband. It freaking irks my soul seeing that so I’m also thinking of that downside. I was going to wait til the 6 month mark (1.5wks from now,) to wash my XHS, but I think ima wash them a week early this weekend to see how they fit after a wash. Once I determine that I’ll see whether or not I should size up.

My IH-888S-21od (88cm waist size) I can open the first button and let the others closed and I‘m able to put them on and off. In the photo you can see that on the hip side I can fit two fingers in. Basically, I don’t wear them without a belt.
I like the relaxed fit though, so I‘m not bothered but I would prefer if they would be slightly tighter and that should be the case if I go for the same size with the 25oz or am I thinking wrong?!The only thing that worries me is that with my current IIY5 competition pair that really fits me well I‘m measuring 89cm for the waist size and that’s a 22oz but it’s a slim cut and not really comparable with the 888 cut.
