IH-888S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

Hey guys, i am wearing size 30 in 777s-142, should i go with the same size on these 888s-142? i am kinda lost. I cant refer to sizing chart since i actually never had any relax taper before.
-
@grumpyB make sure the waist and thigh measurements are good and let the rest just be what they are. Those two measurements are what matters most. If you can fit in a 777 though I’m assuming you don’t have huge thighs so if that’s the case just go with your comfortable waist measurement.
-
@grumpyB I'd also add that the waist sits a bit higher on the hips than the 777, so your measurement might be different there. For the 888 waist, I run the tape right around the outside of the waistband of my undies. For me thats 34" exactly, so i try to get a pair of 888 with a waist around 33.5", then they stretch to about 35" and feel perfect.

@Evertonman I have 7 pairs of 888 and came to this technique after first going a bit too small. My smaller pairs do still fit but I find that the smaller the waist is, the higher up they tend to ride. It works for a slimmer fit overall,as long as they’re not restrictive.

Hey everyone, happy new year!
Just wanted to share a few fit pics and some brief thoughts.
I was really glad to see Iron Heart still had a size 36 available. This is a couple of sizes up from my usual 21oz 888s, but that was a deliberate choice as I was looking for something a bit more relaxed overall, while still staying within a cut I know works well for me.
The 14oz denim feels great so far — softer and more forgiving than my heavier pairs, with a nice drape straight away. Combined with the roomier fit, these have been extremely comfortable from day one, which is exactly what I was hoping for with this purchase.
As always, many thanks to the Iron Heart team for the fast shipping, accurate measurements, and consistently excellent service. Much appreciated.
Thanks for looking.

@WhiskeySandwich those guys look like they are taking some hits and going strong. Amazing how much the 14oz can handle.
