IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Taper Cut Jeans - Indigo

The IH-888-XHS is Iron Heart's heaviest denim offering - built from an unyielding 25oz Japanese selvedge that’s dense, unwashed, and utterly uncompromising. This isn’t the pair you reach for when you want comfort out of the box - it’s designed to challenge you, to demand commitment, and to reward it with fade potential and longevity that few other jeans can touch. The fabric is woven from a rope-dyed indigo warp and a natural weft, giving it deep blue tones with strong vertical streaking and crisp contrast as it wears in. The 888 fit offers a high rise and a relaxed top block with a sharp taper below the knee -one of the few silhouettes that can make this much denim look refined. Every inch of construction is overbuilt: hidden rivets, reinforced back pockets, and poly/cotton stitching for long-term durability. If you’re after Iron Heart at its most brutal and bulletproof, this is it.

• Made in Japan
• Tapered Cut
• Medium/high rise
• 25oz rope dyed indigo warp, natural weft Japanese selvedge denim
• XHS (extra heavy selvedge)
• Button fly and hidden rivets
• Belt loops sewn into waistband
• Unlined rear pockets
• Poly/cotton constructional stitching
• Selvedge side seams
• Sanforized, but unwashed - expect approximately one inch shrinkage in the waist and inseam
• Other dimensions will shrink proportionately to the waist
• The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear
• All other dimensions under pressure will have a tendency to stretch back to pre-soak/wash size

A variance of +/-.5" is to be expected. 

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 34 in these. That is pretty much his standard size from Iron Heart these days. These are especially stiff and hard to break in, so the more room, the better. The 888 is a pretty trim cut, so pay close attention to those size charts before making a decision. We definitely recommend sizing up at least once in these. Tommy is 5'10", 162lbs with between a 32-33" true waist.

*Modern tapered styling with a more relaxed fit. Medium/high rise. Roomier fit in the top block and thighs. Pronounced taper from knee to hem. Classic 5-pocket design.*
