IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
My double stitched arrived this morning.
Three weeks not getting back to IH base for hemming.
Jack was like a Wolf chasing the couriers (anyone sees a UPS guy in 888 25s say hello the old fashioned way from me).Following this process @neph93 (my spec differs by just the 1" inseam at 31")
Soaked for an hour, hanging now and wearing damp in the morning.Yay! Ever since the 888 came out I've been dying to see it in XHS… I even bought the 888-XHSib, despite the black/indigo combo not being my favourite (they are beautiful though).
They arrived yesterday and I'm ecstatic to finally have them in my possession. I bought W34. I have the 888s-0d and the XHSib in w33 but they are sized down for a slimmer silhouette. I wanted these a little more relaxed though.
I measured them, then soaked for 90min in 50C water, no agitation. Here are the dims:
Dimension - Before/After
Waist - 34"/33.5"
Front rise - 12"/11.5"
Back rise - 16.5"/16"
Thigh - 12.9"/12.7"
Knee - 9.2"/8.9"
Hem - 8.65"/8.45"
Inseam - 32.2"/31.5"These seem more like an 888 as they were conceived, like my IH-888-UHR with a relaxed leg and true taper. Just what I was after. The waist started moving straight after I put them on. I also tried an approximation of @adam313 method of getting creases in early by wearing them damp and cool. There is no doubt that creases at the hip, behind the knee and at the hem came in straight away and stayed after I took them off to dry throughly. excited to see where these go.
Fit pics etc soon.

@Al:
This is a great way to start 25oz off. I am having a back op in June so wanted to get these going.
My 634 21s feel pretty light now.Naff pics are better than no pics, and I reckon yours was better than naff anyway.
I have found my way back to the 21oz recently and am enjoying it a lot, but the XHS will always be my favourite.

Looks like sizing down and these being so tight on my knees is working out. Also every time I wash my hands I dry them on my jeans (if no one is looking).

Thanks! Since April 7th. About 7 weeks.

I am seriously enjoying my new jeans in case you were wondering.
