IH-777-SST - 21oz Shinayaka Selvedge Denim - Super Slim Tapered - Indigo

[manufc10]

I think it's great that IH is doing this.  I'm a little surprised more vendors didn't jump on these but maybe they will if the first few runs are successful.  I have a few pairs of Kato 10.5oz stretch selvedge that I wear for the summers here in Phoenix and although I love my 100% cotton selvedge you can't deny the comfort of selvedge denim with a little bit of stretch to it.  It's a very welcome break from "normal" selvedge.

I plan to grab a pair of these in the not so distant future if they are still available in my size.

How should I size the waist on these to account for initial stretch / stretch over time? I usually buy a around a size 35 (or slightly smaller – never bigger) waist knowing it will stretch to about 35.5".

I'd assume that these get at least a little stretch "out of the box" compared to normal denim, but to what degree? And more importantly, can I expect the waist to stretch about .5-1" like normal denim?

Thanks,

This is what the product page says:

• The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear

As linked by Giles, yes you can. It takes longer to get there than standard 21oz denim, but in the meantime it is a lot comfier.

Please, please, pleeeeease make these in black (with the red logo) and duckhead (my 777s are killing my thighs on the bike lanes of Copenhagen)

Well, measurements on these look pretty bang-on for me… And I’ve got this damn $50 credit just sitting there and expiring in a couple weeks... really trying to be reasonable and responsible here... 

[sabergirl]

Responsible thing is obviously to use the credit. I mean. [emoji2]

I mean, if I don’t use it it’s like throwing away a $50 bill. Right?

@Anesthetist i was so close to getting my PayPal credit account paid off.

Well, I guess I have stretch jeans now.

Boom. Congratulations. I put mine on today and was appreciating the lack of stretch in the knee and top block and thought of you [emoji1]

[xtcclassic]

I put the blame solidly on you, @neph93 

[neph93]

I am blessed with broad shoulders and will carry that burden I look forward to hearing your thoughts @xtcclassic and I hope they live up to any expectations I may have contributed to [emoji3526]

They look just like they should man.
What are your thoughts on them right off the start?

[xtcclassic]

@dinobarnesberlin  They definitely still have that new IH crispiness, it’s been a while since I’ve had a new pair of 21oz but these seem to be a little crispier than I remember the normal 21oz being. Could just be me misremembering. The stretch is noticeable, but not THAT noticeable. Calling them “stretch jeans” would be pushing it really, although I will continue to do so. 

Thanks @steelworker they’re a pain in my ass sometimes but I love them to death.
