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.

Make sure you can sign into the website and have credit card ready! I’m ready for the first 25 oz.

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.

[Conan]

@worn2fade I appreciate the info. I’m hoping that IH has an extra-long pair on the shelves, fingers crossed. @CosmoSix5 Can you share your experience with this fabric?

[worn2fade]

@Conan looks like he lost 1.25”

Just to make sure I was telling you accurate info, I remeasured. Turns out, I also lost an additional .15”

I’d say to play it safe, assume you’d lose up to 1.25-1.5”

[worn2fade]

Maybe @Oaktavia can provide more insight since he has multiple washes on his pair?

[Yoprst]

IMHO the total tonal stitching would look the best with all indigo/black denim. It makes the product look less casual and stand out even more than it does with contrast one. I like it on my 14oz ib and 14oz ii jeans as well as on my 14oz ib jacket. But it is what it is, therefore take it or leave it. I would also very much appreciate if 21oz ib and 19oz ib come back into the game.

@Conan @worn2fade I didn't and don't usually pay much attention to inseam length and don't take pre & post soak measurements. Even if you lose 1.25" from 37", would that be too short? How long are your legs?!

[worn2fade]

@Oaktavia either he likes a serious double cuff or he’s 7’ tall

[CosmoSix5]

@Conan I did a warm soak on mine. About 40 minutes and wore them till about 90%+ dry. (Way more fun in the summer!) Waist shrank an inch+ but is back to normal if not slightly bigger. The pre hem length was about 35.75(37 pre soak) now they're hemmed to 34".

[CosmoSix5]

@Oaktavia it varies between torso length and legs, but I'm 6'5' and only need a 34" inseam. 33.5 in a few pair. Definitely plenty of length until 6'8+ but then NBA money will get you a custom pair

[Oaktavia]

Oh for sure, I was just being facetious. I am just under 6' 3" and my hem is 30" as I am mostly torso. Lots of different body types and variations out there.

[Conan]

@Oaktavia @worn2fade @CosmoSix5 Much appreciated, gents. I’m 6’ 5”, but I have a short torso. My 21 oz. 888’s are 34.5” after multiple cold washes on low spin, but they are highwaters now, so I don’t wear them anymore. I could probably get away with 35.5”, but I get serious anxiety washing my jeans and would prefer some extra length for that reason.

@Tago-Mago as far back as I can see, the pocket arcs have always been tonal.

[Yoprst]

Well, is everyone already at the starting line?

[chadstone30]

I'm bummed. I thought I could check the size chart this morning but the product page was taken down before 10:00 GMT.

Does anyone have dimensions for tag sizes 33 and 34 that they could post for me, please? In inches, preferably.

@chadstone30

Check out the first post in this thread, those measurements have been updated.
