Hi… If you measure a pair you own (and that fits how you like), using the IH method then you have a baseline for comparison.

i did that, but for some reason measurements always seem to be off.  oh well.  just ordered these, and if its too small, ill just return and go up 1 size.

Generally people who have been on the forum a while and/or buy from IHUK deal in the IH method. It’s the standard method for the Japanese denim industry regardless of what certain stores around the world do, so working it out is sensible in the long run.

Alternatively you can follow the progression of the existing table. The 32” should be around halfway between the 31” and 33”.

Finally you can always ask IHUK if they can check the thigh measurements of some of the 32” they have in stock, bearing in mind you may lose 0.3” in thigh with a hot wash.

thanks.  i never hot wash or soak any of my raws.  only cold.  the thigh region is a huge problem for me.  once that area shinks, its game over.  really hoping this cut works for me!

[neph93]

These aren’t raw. They are sanforised, but there is a little shrink left in them.

I hear you on the thighs. I’m unable to wear a lot of cuts unless I oversize the waist because of that issue. The 888 should work for you. I love it for exactly this reason.

Oh yeah I know, but even if they are sanforized, they will shrink overtime with washes and soaks.  My E6s had a rise of 12", and theyve gone down to 11" after only 2 washes.

Not sure how these will react, but always safe going bigger than smaller for me.

Fit check on these bad boys:

leg tapering/hem will be done on these soon.

Great fit. You sure about the tapering?

[cityofdelusion]

I agree, it's a great fit Also there's indeed some slight bunching going on that could be hemmed if you wish not to double cuff or something.

[Crit_Obs]

Good fit. Tapering these tapered jeans further seems like a very bad idea judging by the current fit but YMMV.

[Dion]

Fit looks great and I also agree that hemming only will be enough.

i thought about a taper, but i guess i look fine given a couple of you guys like the fit.  i come from wearing sharp tapered jeans from the knee down, so i guess i need to get used to it.

i could use a hem though, my true inseam is 29'', and these are around 36''.

love this denim, i dont think i can go back to any other brands.

Trust me, you can’t. No one can. IH is a black hole. Escape is impossible.

here's a better picture.

do you think if i hem them to around 32-33'', it won't looks so bunched up with cuffs?

[Paul9221]

I like a little stacking on these because the thickness of the fabric keeps the stacks from bunching up at the bottom, so I hemmed them 1.5" longer than I would the 21oz 888s or 888s-od.  Not sure if that helps.

[Jett129]

What type of footwear do you plan on wearing with these? That would help in determining what length you want to go with.
