Tag 32 and 33 looks very close. No experience with 888, for those who have both 888 and 634, do you get the same size for both? I have a 33 634 XHSib and it's ok but I know I could still size down, I was able to try a 14oz 1955 and tag 32 feels good. I'd like an 888 that would fit slimmer than my 634.
-
@Kurbrubador 888 will fit slimmer than your 634 by definition, being tapered. There's no practical need to size down in your case. Something tells me that you'll like 888 cut more than 634
-
I would like to know as well.

oof yeah this is a tough call between 33 and 34, all my 888 indigos (14,16,21 oz) are 33s but the 888S-21ODs and 888D’s I have in 34. leaning towards 33 but it’s measuring tape time
-
For those saying the 888 will fit slimmer that is only half ways true when comparing to the 634. Especially depending on what length you wear the jeans at. The biggest difference I think is the 888 has more room in the top block due to it being high rise. While the 888 does taper there is not a huge difference when comparing knee width and if you cuff or get your jeans tailored to a shorter length, then there is not as big a difference in hem width. There is still a taper there but not quite as much as the measurements make it out to be I feel. At least this is my perspective. For me, mid rise jeans just do not work because of the room I need in the top block along with thigh size.

@Ral1121 just curious how close you are to an IH retailer. The guidance here is normally find your best fitting jeans, measure using the IH method, and then compare those measurements to the measurements chart. It looks like you have done your homework but may do well to go to a shop and try on different jeans to find your ideal fit. The other option is to start an email dialogue with the staff at IHUK with your measurements in hand. They are really good at helping your work through the process knowing how difficult it is to find a fit from an online retailer.
Even I run into problems on occasion and just double check to see if I’m looking at things correctly. Send them an email: shop@ironheart.co.uk
They know their product better than anyone else and will guide you in the right direction.

@yannis I have both (in different weights/fits) and they fit completely different... It just depends on the size measurements when they were produced, example would be I wear a 32 in 634 from the UHR and i got a 33 for the 888's in UHR. I don't need a specific measurement down to a science and prefer a little extra room, but some people like that "tight" fit, everyones different I guess and we all have different body shapes
like goose has said, if you can try them on beforehand you'll be on to a winner, but I understand not everyone lives near a retailer...
-
In was referring to the post from @Ral1121. I have both also and I find that usually the same tag size 634 fits bigger that the 888.

Not sure if your conclusions are based on your own experience having both 634 and 888 cuts in one and the same size, or just theoretical inferences. I have both cuts and my conclusions are purely practical - by the cut of each model they're quite distinguishable - while 634 is classic straight regular fit, 888 is tighter and slimmer one and it doesn't matter if you alter them - they won't resemble 634 unless you shorten them up to the knees. Higher rise has nothing to do with extra room in the top block, 'cause when we speak of the room in the top block we mean room for the butts and hips. All that high/mid/low rise does is the level of your top button/belt being closer to your belly button or (pardon my French) your balls

@Yoprst True, but as a tall fella I have noticed that extra front rise length does help when sitting down. Or maybe I just haven't had enough jeans to comment.
