@Kurbrubador They look cool on you, bro

@Yoprst I do think the 888 top block is designed to be wider and roomier in the hips. If you look at something like the classic levi's 517 or wrangler boot cut, it's a slimmer fit in the hips / top block vs the 888. Both high rise, both different fit. I personally wish IH would make a model inspired by the classic cowboy cuts like levi's and wrangler. It's a timeless cut. The 888 is the closest thing to that, but it's damn tricky in my opinion for a lot of guys to get a good fit in the top block. Probably still my best option though as I like a high rise/slim fit and I can't fit my thighs into any other cut besides the 634/633 and 1955.

The pazzle of 888 is easy to solve - no belly, no man's boobs
And all those Big Three boot cut inspired smells a bit like mothballs to me

Got mine today. Fallen in love with them at first glance. The size is spot on thanx to IHUK team for that. Love the stickers enclosed - they're quite sexy

@Denimhead-0 Awesome denim evo, good job bro!

Love some good denim drama. Anyway, here are some photos of the SBGs I continue to wear the hell out of before I even open the new pair I just copped.

What is the mileage on them?

So you asked a question for only Alex to respond and you chose to posted on the general forum for everybody to read but dare not respond. If that was the case a DM would be more appropriate. I mean you positioned yourself for me to read your nonsense but not respond. Just brilliant!

Yes, my friend, I asked a question to a person on the general forum as I always do. The question asked was rather rhetorical and once again was clearly addressed not to you. It looks like you're keen in giving advises and suggestions to those who did not ask you for it. Besides, it looks like you're smart in giving personal evaluations to other people - you call my post a nonsense and again insist on your forum rights and freedoms as if I can limit them somehow.

@Yoprst it does not mean 32 tag size is 32 inches. Particularly in off the shelve mass produced jeans when a tag size 32 is vanity sized and could be an actual 34 if taking a measurement.

As has been stated numerous times with IH tag size are only a guide and always trust the measurements. Always.

I'm well aware that those times when tag size corresponded to the actual waist measurements (like vintage mass production from Big Three) are gone, as well as the fact that the bigest size deviations in denim industry concern asian markets, and that's exactly one of the reasons I prefer IH to other japaneese brands, cause IH is known being quite precise in the tag sizes.
Anyway, I'm sure that my issue will be resolved the best way possible, I just was unpleasantly surprised by that size chart changes at the last moment

@Tago-Mago said in IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG:

@Yoprst then I would email them with that exact information. I would also check the measurements on the tag 33 just to be sure. If they look better then I would ask for a change in tag size

Thanx a lot, appreciate

It means he realized that there was a mistake in the sizing chart and got corrected so he apologized. It also means that we are all human and mistakes happen. It also means nobody is perfect. If the pants do not fit I am sure they will do right by the customer as they always do.

Dear Yannis, you may have overlooked it, but my message was addressed to Alex. Are you Alex? Did he asked you to be his advocate? If the answers to both questions is "No", than can you kindly stop lecturing me on other people business? I'm grown up enough to handle my communications with other people by myself. There is no need in having a finger in every pie

@Tago-Mago said in IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG:

@Yoprst has your order been shipped already? If not, I would drop IHUK an email at shop@ironheart.co.uk and ask them to change your order to a 33. I am sure they will be able to accommodate this request

No it wasn't shipped yet. Not sure if size 33 has no measurements deviation. I always wonder where and when in the jeans industry size tag become meaning something else but it's own size in inches, i.e. 32 means 32", 33 means 33" etc.
Being back to the issue, all I need is the waist being as close to 32" as possible.

@Alex said in IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG:

Yeah, the chart had some errors in it, we have remade it. Sorry

Alex, what does it mean - "sorry"? For me it means minus 1" in the waist. I've ordered size 32 which turned out to be 31.4" instead of 32.6" declared earlier ... Yes, you may say I should check better while placing the order, but shopping for premium price tag items should not remind walking through the minefield watching closely your every single step, should it?

For those saying the 888 will fit slimmer that is only half ways true when comparing to the 634. Especially depending on what length you wear the jeans at. The biggest difference I think is the 888 has more room in the top block due to it being high rise. While the 888 does taper there is not a huge difference when comparing knee width and if you cuff or get your jeans tailored to a shorter length, then there is not as big a difference in hem width. There is still a taper there but not quite as much as the measurements make it out to be I feel. At least this is my perspective. For me, mid rise jeans just do not work because of the room I need in the top block along with thigh size.

Not sure if your conclusions are based on your own experience having both 634 and 888 cuts in one and the same size, or just theoretical inferences. I have both cuts and my conclusions are purely practical - by the cut of each model they're quite distinguishable - while 634 is classic straight regular fit, 888 is tighter and slimmer one and it doesn't matter if you alter them - they won't resemble 634 unless you shorten them up to the knees. Higher rise has nothing to do with extra room in the top block, 'cause when we speak of the room in the top block we mean room for the butts and hips. All that high/mid/low rise does is the level of your top button/belt being closer to your belly button or (pardon my French) your balls

@Kurbrubador 888 will fit slimmer than your 634 by definition, being tapered. There's no practical need to size down in your case. Something tells me that you'll like 888 cut more than 634

@Yoprst Each to their own as you imply but I like the little subtle difference on some models vs others so the steel made me like them more.

Good 4 ya

My older pair of SBG have silver and I think they look damn good that way. Copper would be cool to though. Strangely i have no preference on this for SBG. Blue jeans should always be copper tho.

All other cuts of 21oz SBG have copper rivets. 888 is the only one that has stainless ones. IMHO stainless looks cheap. But that is my subjective point of view, do not mean to hurt anybody's feelings.
