IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk

I always found that after a second or third and further washes, it tightens up after it dries but within a day or sometimes within hours its mostly stretched back out, its that first wash that is the riskiest one I find

I can already hear "The Ride of the Valkyries" from "Apocalypse Now"... Lol

[mikemakuch71]

these have a tonal accurate pocket?

[Tago Mago]

@mikemakuch71 yes

[mikemakuch71]

really ? have the 888’s always been like that?

[Tago Mago]

@mikemakuch71 these have, see here. There have been tonal arcs on other models, but the majority of models have contrast arcs

[mikemakuch71]

@Tago-Mago the only tonal pockets i knew of were the 555 21oz but now they are gold stitch.. how long have the 888’s been tonal? i guess i never noticed

[Tago Mago]

@mikemakuch71 I'm basing this on the pics in this thread and my guess is from the beginning. @ShopatIronHeart tonal arcs on the 888-XHSib since inception?

You could always... you know... read through the thread, I've spent a good 30-40 minutes going through all the pictures on here a few times...

This denim is something else. Good luck to everyone on the restock tomorrow!

@mikemakuch71 I have longed for an 888 xhs ib contrast, maybe someday. The 888 21oz ib’s were contrast, however, it doesn’t look like they are coming back.

@ShopatIronHeart

I’m hoping these measurements will work for me. I need a minimum inseam of 36” after washing. I understand the care guidelines specify approximately 1 inch of shrinkage in the inseam. However, I understand shrinkage is dependent on total inseam length, so I’m wondering if anyone can shed light on what I can expect on a 37” inseam after all shrinkage is accounted for? I have several pairs of jeans that are too short after their first wash or two, and I don’t want to go through that heartache again.

Based on my experience, after a soak and a wash on my XHS (not IB,) they only shrunk 1”.

I got mine hemmed to 34.5, after the initial soak they sat at 33.5” and after my first wash a couple days ago it stayed the same.

But based on @CosmoSix5 comment on his ib’s (triple 6,) he lost more than 1” in inseam if I’m not mistaken after his initial soak + wash.
