Is anyone able to confirm this store front is still open? (covid) Ill be in Tokyo in 2 weeks and might try and make a special trip out on a Sunday AM.

i gotta be that guy and ask:

I was trying on a old pair of 634's in a 35 and i felt the legs were much tighter/slimmer than my 888 25oz 36's. As in quite a bit noticeable, whereas i would almost describe my 888's as baggy below the knees, the 634's felt more trimmed. Anyone else have this experience?

My problem is I enjoy the roominess of the 888 upper block but really which the legs and below the knee were trimmer. I think wearing the bibs ruined me. And now I wanna grab a UHR pair before the go OOS. The 634's were a bit more restrictive in the thighs but the overall fit "fit" me better (at least in my head in the mirror.)

any advice other than buying all the UHR pairs

@Noahf:

One thing i noticed that i thought was super weird, some of the stitching is different color. So like the left pocket and left fly are one yellow/gold color, and the right side of the fly is a different yellow/gold color. Why is that?

can you make a picture?

Here you go. Don’t mind the dry wall dust:

Adding a pantry in the garage and it’s a good break in for the 888’s.

Look ma, no hands!

I never thought I would have a pair that stood up on their own, but here we are. The upper block is awesome, comfy. The rear goes a good few inches higher than many of my other pairs. I do wish there was a bit more taper below the knee, but i imagine that is a symmetrical issue.

And the craziest thing that will be said today: these 25oz feel so light compared to the double knee bibs its like im not wearing anything! They feel like “normal” jeans at this point. I think ive gone mad. They arnt even soft yet and feel like a good pair. I had them hemmed but still have way to much, so probably going to do a tight japanese cuff.

Entered with some 888’s. These are a lil roomier than expected and probably won’t get me the super sick fades. Nothing wrong with the fit, i can just tell it’s not “honeycombs for days” kinda fit.  I’ll get fit pictures later.

mine come in tomorrow as well. somehow uk -> cali is faster than most cali -> cali orders 

Eeek. Judging sounds like mess.

I think ill just keep track of the 888 fades on here. I'm not on FB and not trying to compete, but would like a place to record and see how everyone is doing.

@Matt:

I think someone started one.  Try doing a search for it.

ahh found it. i think i checked when i got the email saying IH was sponsoring and it hadnt been created. but ill likely just post in that thread.

Will there be a section of the forum dedicated to the indigo challenge? For us non meta people. These 888’s are gonna be here right on time.

Les go! Order incoming

wow 36's already sold out

@Raisinoux:

Hiiii guys !!! I have never bought a IH bottom and the Bib fever caught me few months ago, i have read this topic a lot since then, now that all sizes are available i am really considering the measurements and i have to admit i am totally lost in numbers I should go for a 34 tag in most IH denim cause 87cm in waist is good for me, the waist measurements for this bib is 99cm size 34 which is huuuuge, even the size 32 is 95cm and its 8cm more than my waist, if i follow everybody's advices here i should be a tag 34 in denim so i should go for a tag 34 in bib BUT the model johnny is bigger than me in waist and he is wearing a 32…... Do you know what size Johnny is wearing in denim ? should i stick with a tag 32 = 8cm more in waist than my normal waist or a tag 34 = 12cm more .... It looks enormous just reading myself  Sorry everybody you are repeating the same advices since 52 pages here and still going 

my feedback is: I wear 36 IH jean but like a slim fit, but not tight. What I would consider a "modern adult fit." I sized down to a 34 in my overalls and they fit really well around the waist, upper thighs. I do think they are a little large at the leg opening, but that's my personal preference. I would say they are pretty true to a straight cut.

tl;dr you could go 32 and be a lil slimmer (but probably roomier than most normal cuts these days), which will likely be just as comfy. or go "true to size" and have even more room to play in.

Been wearing mine for 5+ months and they are so comfy. It will make you hate regular waist constraining denim though. but DO IT. JOIN US!

@Dmart:

Beautiful @Noahf
That’s El Capitan in the back?

Yep. El cap is above my big head, and half dome is 2 peaks over in the right.

@jerkules:

@Noahf what an incredible final shot for the contest.

Thanks. I got a lil lucky with my Yosemite trip being during the contest. But friday and Saturday are whiteouts soo not many scenic photo ops.

No it was flowing. There was a lil wind soo it appeared to be almost “misty” half way down from where we were. Was a good morning

Ihsh-299 workshirt. Was at Yosemite Valley for sunrise this morning and it was -9c. My upper body was warm but my feet were frozen after waiting for the sun for an hour.

to my bib brothers (and sisters) out there, do the 888's fit anything like these from the knee to the waist? I love how comfy these things are but im on the hunt for some UHR or XHS and wondering if the 888 will be of similar fit? My 634's are very tight around the thighs/upper box and are quite uncomfortable these days.

@weftyarn:

That is awesome, @Noahf

This must be the least restricting jeans there is, right?

im not gonna lie, the bibs have ruined me. They are a 34 and I refuse to wear my 634's in 34 or 36 now. They just feel so restricting, even vs the double knee bibs. I am hoping when XHS or UHR in 888 comes out that I can get a comfy fit, but these bibs really allow the thighs to breathe.

Shopping at SENY. Yes, I bought the shirt:

Bib brother! Is that the new 9 oz workshirt? Im thinking of picking it up as well.

hit the rock climbing gym after a day of work

Oh that’s a massive run. I’ll go back to dreaming.

@spitfiredealer:

I got a sample pair of 777's to beat up at work for a couple of months next year. They are probably 2 sizes up from my true size. Super comfy and will be great for work.

quick out the bag pic. Will get some better ones in a day or two.

Looking forward to being in UHR again, one of the best denim out there imo.  Cheers @Alex

Cant wait to see what you do to these. Your SBG’s are one of my favorite fades.
