I'm curious what everyone thinks of the higher rise on the 633. I have far too many pairs of 633 and 634 and love the fit, but I'm on the fence with the new cut. The rise is higher by about 3/4" in my size, which is fine and relatively minor (and I have many pairs of other-brand jeans with a similar rise), but other aspects of the top block feel a bit out of proportion. The fly on the new cut is proportionally longer, for example (distance from fly's bottom bar tack to crotch seam is about 3/8" less compared to my other 633s), which doesn't help and almost makes the rise feel higher than it is. I don't own any 888s but I'm wondering if the top block of the new cut has more in common with that than the existing 633/634 cut.
I will say the new denim is awesome though. Slubby yet not really slubby. Tough yet breathable. It feels like the goldilocks zone of denim!
