Shame im saving money for ss26...must resist

I came here to say this denim feels awesome! Love it!

After 4 months of wear, 1 wash. Have been wearing this most weekdays for work. Amazing colours are coming through!

Do....people have back ups of the same pair? Or is that kinda crazy given how long some of the jeans normally last due to rotation? Like i got the recent 888UHR but was wondering whether i should get the same pair again just in case? Or do i just have a undiagnosed mental illness?

Cough cough. I need more iron heart content please

Initially i thought this was a bit more boxy than the 293 as its pretty thick, but now im wearing it in its starting to drape very nicely and settling down. So good!!

I would say this denim stretches a bit and fast. When i first got it new i recall it measuring 15.5 inches (white tape) or there abouts for a 34 tag. But today its gone past that (yellow tape pic). And I have only worn it out really a few times if that. I honestly reckon maybe less than 5 times on.

@Denimhead-0 awesome thanks man! This really helps me make an informed decision

Im waiting for these both too. But yeah given you have the 888sbg, maybe the indigo is the missing one?

Yeah i agree with Goosehd here. But only you can judge with the facts/info in front of you. Have a think and go with your gut so to speak. Think about the pros and cons, and whether the risk is worth the reward

What was your measurements of your old comfy 888XHS? How far apart is it to 34.7inches? And then weigh up what others have measured in terms of shrinkage of the waist and just do a bit of maths to see if its too much etc....

I just got my spare size 33 out of storage. It has shrunk down to 33inches after two washes (measured the IH way) from 33.8inches....

@Bobcat-Sig scroll up to see other peoples before and after measurements. I think that might be a good way to judge how much it shrinks in the waist to gauge whether that amount of shrinkage would work for you....i think look at post 600 etc

@AskAxel haha yeah you mentioned the UHR, would you say its similar? Im wearing my UHR and love it, though its starting to heat up here. Cant wait to see more fades....

@rasta haha hmmm thanks for the input, much appreciated.

Dang, i normally go 32.5 as a baseline where its comfy and fitted, i saw one place for a tag 32 its measuring 31.89 (81cm), so...damn. i think i just need to walk away and not take the risk....its hard though haha

@Jeansman how was the waist on this one? I saw a size 32, which is technically my size but it seems to measure small. Do you know if there is much stretch? Im tempted but should have bought size 33 when it was available....so just wondering whether to gamble lol

@Bobcat-Sig just remember to follow the instructions re: soaking and washing. For one of my pairs i had to wash twice and it got all the shrinkage out to look and feel normal....

@Bobcat-Sig what is the measurements currently to your 888XHS? If you are comfy now thats sort of would be a good benchmark to start. And then compare that to 34.7 inches to gauge if you think it will be too big/small....

@dirtyframer how did you go? What do you think?

@Sunnergren nah all good. I hesitated cause i have the untucked version, so like this would have been excessive. Its the lure of the discount that got me my wallet thanks you!
