@jmceachern Yes. Roping will happen with time and wear.

Ok cool! Thanks

I have a question but not sure where to put it so I’ll ask here because I just bought the 888 21oz. This isn’t a complaint just a question about something I noticed. I got the jeans hemmed at iron heart. I noticed the scrap pieces have that nice roping effect already happening but the new hem line is very smooth. Will I still get the roping effect eventually? After washing maybe?

Mine arrived today. Big thanks to James for providing measurements! They fit perfectly!

On order!

I bought the 14oz version and now I’m thinking the 18oz will be a nice as well! Now that I have the 1955 cut my 888’s seem too slim.

@yannis

Thanks!

Do these shrink in the length at all? I'd be washing in cold and hanging to dry. Thanks

@bluemantra Looking good! Like the contrast.

@Alex Thanks.

@bluemantra thanks. Are they fading at all yet?

I can’t tell if these are blue or black. Are they blue on the outside and black inside?

@Heavy_blue Thanks!

@Heavy_blue ok thanks. The jeans I have could work as well maybe.

@Heavy_blue Moto from Japan. I feel like 8inch should work.

Does anyone know if the 888 cut fits over engineer boots ok? Or where I can find that info? I’d wear a 34 tag so 8inch opening. Boots are on order. Don’t have them yet. I have 2 pairs of 888’s and they fit perfectly but I had them tapered to 7.5 so I’m not sure they’ll fit. Was thinking I’d get these 888-142 if the hem works. Thanks for any info.

@AdamJ:

@BorderWhippett the 21oz has begun arriving so hopefully next week or the week after

Yes!

Good point.  I do want something a little different.

Hi.  Any opinions on how these would compare with the 21oz?  I've got the 16oz slubby 888's.  Looking for another pair so I'm not wearing the same jeans everyday.  Been waiting for the 21oz to come back in stock when I saw these.  Any thoughts?  Would one be softer, better in the warmer weather, fade differently?  Thanks Joe

Got mine today. They fit!  This is the 4th pair of jeans delivered to me. I returned the first 3 because they didn’t fit. I wanted the iron hearts all along. Lesson learned.

Just ordered a pair of these today!  First pair of Iron Hearts or raw denim in general.
