IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

@frankie72 That should work out ok.
Depending on your frame and body shape, the XHS can be a flexible cut. I have it in four iterations (UHR, XHS, XHSib and 21oz OD). The XHS you see in this thread is the biggest. I went true to size, which to my mind means they sit comfortably and I can easily get a finger or two between the waistband and and body. The other three are sized down from W34 to W33.
The idea is that given the high rise and narrow waist on these jeans they sit higher up the body where the waist is smaller. On me this works. They were all tight in the waist when new but have stretched out. I can't quite get the finger in-between but they are not uncomfortable.
Here are a couple of pics to show how that plays out in terms of fit:
W33 IH-888-XHSib:
W34 IH-888-XHS
As you can see the silhouette is different, with the W34 coming off as a relaxed tapered pair which was what I wanted, while the w33 is closer to a slim taper (on my chunky legs).

Great answer @neph93 . I was just bout to pull the trigger on a size 31 from the ironheart uk site but sadly received a message from Adam C that they have to temporarily suspend shipments to European Union (EU) countries
Seems no other european online retailer have this model in stock so I just have to wait a while longer. But big thanks anyways for great support!

Any idea when tag 38 will be restocked on those fellows?

We have submitted the production order, but have not had a due date yes, I am afraid.

Just gonna have to wait. Thanks Giles! I will cop for sure when it gets back in stock.

So my 63421L pair has stretched to the point where the waist is falling off me now. I haven't lost any more weight recently. I was thinking about going for a pair of 36 in these and hoping the waist won't stretch as much…

I also copped a pair of these today. I figured after pestering Alex and Giles for over a year about making the 888 in plain XHS is was the right thing to do. The thing is when they came out I was on the verge of skid row. I can't wait to see my double chainstitch job. @spitfiredealer I finally got a pair hemmed to 33" so I can either go for stacks or maybe like a 1" cuff and a stack.

Nice Filthy. Look forward to seeing them on.

It's been a long time coming then! Congrats on finally getting yourself a pair @Filthy. Kinda thought you'd pull the trigger on another pair of XHSib's before any other denim

Thank you very much! I have a pair of 888xhsib in a size larger. The new ones are gonna be somewhat of an experimental pair. I plan on removing the patch and hot soaking them and a hot wash right out the gate. I was thinking about maybe trying to use a cement mixer with some boiling water to gently agitate the jeans for a few hours

If I can get a Harbor Freight mixer for $120 (with coupons) it might happen. Or I might just weld a drill bit on to an old soup pot and use this ancient corded drill I have….
