@Johnnyutah247 ahh I see what you mean! Yours look exceptionally clean.
Looks like @Denimhead-0 & @catdad1 have that perfect inseam that lies exactly where it needs to as well.
These breaks look awesome, I just may consider this for my 888-XHSib once they drop. My current 888-XHS are at a 33.5” inseam (hemmed to 34.5” and after soak got my desired 33.5”) - with this I can do a clean, short double cuff or have some stacks that are non-excessive. I’m reallyyyy digging that clean break though honestly.

@schraiber Do you mind if i ask you about your height and weight ? to get an idea on what size i should get based on how those jeans fit you.

@schraiber said in IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo:
@douwab6 I'm 5'11'', 170lbs. For the record, I ended up selling my 34s because they were simply too big---just an excessive amount of bunching under my belt.
And for reference, I’m 5’11 200lbs & I rock the 34’s!

@schraiber Thank you very much! i am about the same weight, but i think i'm gonna go with w34, i am more in to saggy and baggy fits, yours look way to clean and perfect.

@worn2fade much appreciated !!

@twin Thanks man, 888 is definitely my cut. I would like to try some 55’s eventually to see if they’d do me justice though.

@worn2fade Nice looking fades I just got my 1st pair of 25oz XHSIB though and I love them. I got them in the 666 cut but was thinking about the XHS Indigo in the 888 cut for my next pair. I have small thighs and I never skip leg day lol they just don't grow. You think the 888 could work for me?

@Goz I’m waiting on the 888-XHSib man!
If the triple 6 cut fits you, the real question is what draws you to the 888?
I noticed people who shoot for 888 that have no thighs or cake get a very saggy rear end which I personally do not find appealing. If you’re wanting a tapered jean and don’t care for a higher rise I’d go with the self edge 633 XHS instead of the 888. The thighs are a bit slimmer on those and you get a nice taper.
Some people like the diaper effect though, so if you don’t mind it– go for it. I would say though, if you can fit in the triple 6, there’s no need for you to go 888 unless you want that higher rise and a slightly more tapered jean. My thighs will not fit in a triple 6, but I do like the wider leg opening it has. It’s a give and take between IH cuts.
