Thanks @yannis and @prpx .
I get that IH denim tends towards the traditional. in cut, I just find a smaller hem a bit neater with trainers which unfortunately I have to wear a lot for work. I also have to walk backwards quietly a lot and excess hem, believe or not can be a it noisy!
Although I've expanded a bit round the middle I still have pretty slim legs and tbf the 888 cut seems to work for me from a comfort point of view. I love my 555XHS but the front rise is a little too shallow despite being a medium/high rise and they sometimes sit a little uncomfortably. I don't foresee that being an issue with the 888s, as middle age encroaches my jeans are inevitably relaxing in cut a bit although that said I never rocked a skinny jean! PBJ relaxed tapered have worked well for me.
I have a lot of other IH gear and the jeans were the last piece of the puzzle as I was used to a trimmer cut but the 888 may have resolved that particular issue. Now all I need to do is ensure my bank account can handle the inevitable onslaught.
