Ya all have a good one too!

I drink this glass for Haraki-san, who knows a lot about true denim

Got mine. Shipment/delivery was like greased lightning. Happy with purchase, thanx to all IHUK team.
Bellow a few snapshots of fit, probably not the best. This is the first try on, still kinda sturdy being right out of the box.

Today at work. The jeans as a workwear in their most natural environment

@AdamJ I have a question regarding this one - if it's a new product, then there's no product page for it, where should I look for updates for it?

Another question is regarding items made once and not reproduced later on, like say 21oz indigo/black. If IH decides to reproduce them should it be considered as "new item", or as "restock" and where to look for it?

That's how they fit me on their first walk out

@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
