IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG
-
These guys are hemmed and ready for action! Already super comfy without even a break in period
-
@SlothRock Nice fit! I like mine a little bit relaxed as well. And it works really nicely with these heavyweights.
-
Got mine today. Fallen in love with them at first glance. The size is spot on thanx to IHUK team for that. Love the stickers enclosed - they're quite sexy

@Yoprst I do think the 888 top block is designed to be wider and roomier in the hips. If you look at something like the classic levi's 517 or wrangler boot cut, it's a slimmer fit in the hips / top block vs the 888. Both high rise, both different fit. I personally wish IH would make a model inspired by the classic cowboy cuts like levi's and wrangler. It's a timeless cut. The 888 is the closest thing to that, but it's damn tricky in my opinion for a lot of guys to get a good fit in the top block. Probably still my best option though as I like a high rise/slim fit and I can't fit my thighs into any other cut besides the 634/633 and 1955.

The pazzle of 888 is easy to solve - no belly, no man's boobs
And all those Big Three boot cut inspired smells a bit like mothballs to me

@jpvisual yeah dude, i love my 888s and my one pair of 633s. they're very close and the top block is the hardest to nail. I usually end up finding the 888 to fit perfectly but wish the rise was barely shorter, and the waist a little bigger for the rest of the measurements. and the 633 is about the same, where i which the waist was a little larger, but the knee was a little slimmer. we're talking like 0.5" here and there though, and I make due. The crew always delivers when i ask for an 888 with a larger waist.
-
@WhiskeySandwich you seemed to have nailed the fit. I've seen your photos. Trial and error I guess. Just ordered a different pair of UHR 888s with tweaked measurements. Yep, still 888 & 633 for me
-
@weftyarn looks so good dude! on day 64 of my 666 and starting to see the grey pop in a few places. how many washes/soaks do you have on these??
-
-
@Kurbrubador They look cool on you, bro
-
Oh man how are these sooooo soft omg. (That's semi-rhetorical, I assume it's something to do with the weft being dyed and with the dye itself). I was on the fence and mostly trying to convince myself not to pick these up, as I'm really not a black jeans guy since like 30 years ago when I was goth in high school, but I love the 21oz denim and I love the 888 cut and I knew I'd have a nagging regret for like the next 5 years if I didn't pick up a pair.
Wow, these are amazing. So glad I pulled the trigger.
@Kurbrubador mine just came today too, and I'm rockin' the same Chucks and the same huge double cuff lol. Haven't quite figured out what I want to do with the hem here yet but these look great with the double cuff don't they? Nice fit, man!
-
@twinning wasn’t sure what to do with the cuff yet so just went big for now. Yeah it goes really well with chucks
-
I have literally taken off my 888 21oz bb non fade to black jeans and just put on my newly arrived fade to grey version and I am pleasantly surprised how much softer these feel. Other than the top button it feels like they don’t even require a break in period.
They also feel somewhat stretchy too.
Awesome stuff
-
@Rustygate37 love this. Just did the reverse. Picked up the non-fade to go with the SBGs.
-
@crollee nice one.
I’d be very interested to hear your first impressions when they arrive to see if you too notice a difference.
Either way I enjoy them both
