IH-777S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo
-
I went with a size down from what I would have normally got (still figuring out which cut works best for me) this has a lower rise which is why I went with it. When I first got them they were a struggle to put on and could barely fit my hands in my pockets. After a couple weeks of off and on wear they have really loosened up and now slip right on and off with not much effort. They are still the tightest pair I own, but are actually very comfortable. I love the 21oz denim, it gets soft pretty quickly it seems. Still breaking them in but loving them!
Plus it completes my 21oz tux!

@Crease if you don't mind me asking, what's your chest and waist size? I've been thinking about trying the 777 cut. It seems like I am a similar build as you.
-
@Filthy my chest is 46” and waist is about 36.5”. It’s weird because I just took that waist measurement with a flexible tape, but the 21oz 777 pair I got measured 34.4” waist by IHUK when I ordered. I just re-measured the waist and am getting right on 36.5”. FR= 10.25”, BR= 15.25”, Thigh=12.6”
I also have a XHS-555bb in size 34 and think it fits me a little bit more comfortably in the top block. But I think these 777 give me a little better fitted look option. GAH I just want all the jeans lol!
By the way, thank you so much for all your posts, your pictures and info have been really helpful for me on several pieces! I’m Working on posting about them. Thanks for the inspiration! So glad this forum exists

Hell yeah, @jerkules . Those look awesome.
I currently have a pair in the queue and can't wait to break them in later this year.

Those look amazing. Did you need to wait ages before washing them to get fades as good as those?
-
Cheers dudes! I wear these jeans a lot and kinda forgot to look at them in any detail, and the other I realised just how good the denim is ageing. As this point I’d normally have busted pocked bags and pretty sizeable knee holes with jeans from lesser brands, but these still have a lot of life still in them. I fully intend to wear them into the ground.

Hi IH team,
I just bought a new pair of 777S-21 at "Statement - The denim Store" in Munich as a memory of my Germany trip. Now, being back in the US I noticed that the leg length is completely different.
The left leg is about an inch shorter than the right leg.
The issue becomes more pronounced as the hem is also not completely parallel on that shorter leg (front of leg a bit shorter than back side).
Unfortunately, I did not notice that when trying them on as I was mainly looking for the waist to fit and also as I never had any quality issues with any of my other IH products (Type III, multiple UHFs).Being 6.7 tall, hemming is no option for me and one reason why I love IH - long legs!
@Giles, any way we could sort this out without shipping the jeans back to Germany? I am based out of NYC.Cheers,
Alex

I tried. Becomes uncomfortable when walking that way…

You gave it the old college try, that’s something.

Everything sorted out already thanks to Alex!!! One of the many reasons why I love IH!

Got this pair during Self Edge's Black Friday sale in November and decided to wear them for the Invitational. This is not the type of denim that typically wins fade contents, but I don't intend to be competitive. I use these contests as incentive to wear a pair of jeans 150+ times in a 12-month period, which is right around the time that this denim begins to get that nice "lived in" look. This is also the only 20+ oz denim I'm aware of that's semi-comfortable for summer wear.
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot that 20 oz Oni Secret Denim is also very wearable in the summer.
