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

@Oaktavia I have a similar situation. Occasionally results in an extra fade line or two on the rear thighs.
-
Holy crap, snagged the last pair from the branch in Germany. My first 888 and XHS. I have some experience with stiff 25oz from another brand. Slightly intimidated with the different cut and bulk these guys will have but I know the hype is real for a reason. I've been planning on grabbing the new 555s but they've been pushed back a couple of times. I'm a sucker for tonal arcs so I pulled the trigger when I saw they still had a pair. Overall very excited to get to work on them.

I was wondering who bought that last size 40. Good snag!
-
@xcesiv Haha, yes, was me! I normally wear 38 but prefer some extra room in the heavyweights.
-
@crollee I did the exact same thing and I am very happy. At the start I doubted the choice but it turned out to be the right one.
-
Sigh...I was hoping it'd work out, but the rise is just too high after sizing up. The size chart only had a .5" difference to my other pairs but they're touching my belly button.
Come on 555 release!
-
@Oaktavia looking great brother but the Untucked is the star of the show for me here. The stage of evo it's at is incredible! That back hem has some serious curl to it.

Hip showing that electric blue action
-
@moskiitto looking good.
-
@twin thanks, inspired by you, hiking in the forest with denim
-
@moskiitto Welcome. All it takes is to be active in your 888s. No sitting around on the lounge chair.
-
@Oaktavia they are stunning mate, can't wait for my 634xhsib to have them at 300 wears. Will try to push through most of summer and wear them this year as much as possible before I break in my UHR next year. When I tried on the UHR I realised how soft the XHSib became at about 150 wears, yours must feel like a second skin already

@FlavourFade hell yeah dude I love the enthusiasm around this particular denim. It's just so freaking awesome at every stage. And a beast to tame. I would absolutely go bananas for a 684XHSib OMG I would cuff high and die.

@Oaktavia Time for the tiger now, right?
Time for the tiger!
Any plans on wearing 888s these again? Or are they entering retirement?
Definitely planning on wearing these 888s again just taking a well earned break.
