Don’t have a great setup for fit pics but I’ll do my best to describe how happy I am with this fit! Firstly, glad to have gotten a W30 from @TheShopVancouver and absolutely killer packaging and presentation AND perfectly hemmed. 888 has been my cut and it is great, but as my overall tastes have shifted a little more vintage-inspired I really needed just a bit higher rise and classic leg. At my navel I’m 28.5ish inches and with a high enough rise around 29 inch measured waist is what I aim for, but not getting bogged down in the numbers these are just a perfect pair of jeans. Shamelessly can do the whole Brando in The Wild One thing, depending on when the 14oz drop that may be my birthday present later in the year.

@SKT I’ve got the tiger stripes and my main denim cut are the 888s. I’d say they’re for me a 888 with less taper. My 21S and SBGs are in a size 30 with measured waists originally around 29 inches. My cargoes are in size 29 with 29.1 inch waist and the front and back rises are just slightly shorter than my 888s but still is basically right at my navel. Really comfy cut and I think just classic and flattering.

@John-Galt I’m glad you were able to finally get through! I snagged the other XS. The measurements were spot on for me and an Iron Heart Type 1 was too good to pass up, especially when I saw the stock on the drop. Smooth transaction for me though.

Those rise measurements on a size 30 looking absolutely perfect

@MarkNo The 1955 and the 888 are definitely pretty similar but there are key differences that make them wear and look a bit different at least depending on how you size them. The 1955 has a slightly higher rise compared to an 888 with basically equal measured waist size. The taper, someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think the 888 starts tapering more above the knee than the 1955 and the 1955 will taper to a slightly larger opening from my experiences. They’re both great cuts and I’m glad to have been able to get a pair of these with how fast they went. The 1955 for me with the rise and waist size facilitates better proportions with tucking in shirts and keeps a nice pillar-like leg.
