@MrSavage is a citizen. Very good buyer and patient lol

I love Côte Rôtie but it doesn't travel well, you really have to drink it in France

@SourPower great buyer! Very responsive even when there was an issue with the Venmo payment inadvertently being flagged. Thanks!

@Cfk87 solid transaction, no hassle negotiating, lightning fast shipment!

thanks @Giles and @neph93

anyone know if we can send returns back to the Alabama address or does everything still go back to UK? Shipping from US, so big difference for me

IH-777D

tick tock wanna rock

Can you make these in a wider thigh cut like the 888? long inseam too?

Same. Are these a thing? Why why why does the duck only come in 666 and small thigh cuts?

thanks to my man @Filthy for hooking me up with my grail IH-170 XXXL. Super fast shipping and arrived as advertised. I'm thrilled.

awesome, thanks @tvenuto

Anyone have any experience or feedback with the recycled denim used in the IH-888S-re from earlier this year? Shrinkage (inseam particularly important to me), fades, texture, etc.

echoing what others have said, this run is on the small side but actually fits me much better than the other XXXLs I have. Fabric and color are incredible, better than I could have hoped for. Supposed to dip into the 60s here in Kentucky in next week, so I will definitely be breaking this one out.

Still hoping for the brown check work shirt…

@cbnewman here are some fit pics. First pic is from June 2015, at the start of the DWC, along with the IHSH-33, when new and tapered; pics 2 and 3 are after a few months wear; last pics are from Feb 2018, after 18+ months wear, 20+ washes. I retired them around about Feb/March 2017 because they were too tight, restrictive and uncomfortable, but still my favorite pair. You can see from the progression that the denim does shrink even though it's sanforized. You should consider this this, and whether to wash them a couple of times, or not, before tapering.

Also, when RCFG tapered them, my order was to hem to 34" inseam. Somehow, they missed that and only tapered them. The first pics with cuffs the jeans are about 35.5-36.0" inseam, and were way too long. After about 4 months I realized they hadn't been hemmed, and I sent them back to RCFG to have them hemmed to 34.0" inseam. 34 was still a bit long, but I wanted to get some Madd Stak Fadz. 

Thanks. Those look awesome. Love the cut and fades. I’ll be sending these off to RCFG once the Kentucky humidity sets in and I’m spending more time in shorts

@mpukas:

@cbnewman I had my 634-XHS size 33, that I posted a couple pages back, tapered by RCFG to an 8.25" leg opening. Started the taper at their standard length from crotch to knee of 13", left the original knee width. I'm very pleased with the results.

@mpukas I like the sound of that. My tag is 34 and the leg opening sounds like just what I'm looking for. I'd love to see some fit pics if you have the time/inclination

@mpukas:

@kiya and @Giles need to get get together and come up with a 633-XHS, with a leg opeing not smaller than 8". Thanks in advance! 

@Giles I second this!

@richardjohn22:

I always liked the measurements here, but was put off by the very large leg opening (waist 36) and need to taper. I'd rather not have to screw around with jeans straight off the bat, but that might be what I do if I buy these next. I have the 888 UHRs now, so time to eye up the next thing 

Great idea. I was going to base the taper off of two pairs of 3sixteens I have. Probably safer to base my measurements on existing IH cuts

I can’t afford any taper through the thighs however; 13” is a minimum as it turns out. Have a pair that measures at 12.5 and the crotch is blowing out because they bind
