IH-777S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo
-
I’d say the problem is the cut, not sizing. The rise on the 777 is the lowest of IH cuts.
Sizing up will give you a slightly higher rise, so it may work, Alternatively you could try the 555 which is both slim in the the thigh, tapered, but has a higher rise.
I had that problem years ago with that 777 25oz hanging down… when they first drop
Stop wearing the 777.
When back to them, this time I size up..
Am ok with, not bother if they lose on the legs..

Thanks so much for the quick replies! I did suspect the culprit was the lower rise, but "10/14" has been all I've known for decades
Unfortunately, I'm built like Hank Hill, so any time I've tried a cut even hinting at "mid-rise" or larger, has resulted in diaper butt. I'll go with a size up in the 14oz and see how they fare! -
@replus if you have the chance to try the 555 on then do, but a sized up 777 sounds good. Best of luck, and let us know how u get on.
Oh, the 555's knee measurement would be cutting it really close for comfort! Otherwise, I'd totally give it a shot. Unfortunately, no local retailers. I'll think it over & get in touch w/ IH customer service once there's a restock!

Is the restock still expected for June?
-
@rheubanks I would say more likely July based on the latest update but with all production estimates there can be wiggle room either way

Hi everybody , I am new in the IH community and want to introduce myself. I am a 61 year old male living in The Netherlands. Still feel like a 25 year old though despite the guy in the mirror telling me different ! I am rather slim hence I wanted to give the 777S 142 a goafter having read about the different blocks of IH. I have been a raw adapt since many decades and “my” jeans has always been the Lee 101S in dry. I know, I know 13.75oz is nothing vs what You guys use to wear but I will give the heavier denim a try via the 14oz and take it from there
Now I have bought a 777S 142 and the fit is fine but I would like to have a little more room along the upper legs.
Waist in size 33 is fine for me and also the taper (hem) is o.k. But I find the denim a little tight atound my upper legs.
Now I have read that there is not much stretch to be expected from this fabric but I want to know if the 14oz will get a bit more “easy” on the upper legs by wearing them for a week or so. I already gave them a soak in a bath tub with handwarm water and vinegar in order to have the final hemming length clear. I had them hemmed here in Amsterdam with a Union Special machine. So cool to see these old machines doing the job. ( and Youri the tailor is a super guy as well)
Please let me know what I can expect about “give” in these jeans .
Thanks a lot ! -
Picked up a pair at SENY recently. Wife and I will be moving somewhere quite a bit more humid in ~6 months, and I found 25 oz denim rather unpleasantly sweaty while visiting, so bought something much lighter.
A sharp new pair of jeans really pairs well with my color 2 wing tip Aldens. I definitely new yellow shirting to go with my Phin /Ebbets Ukraine colors cap.

@Alex, any updates on the ETA for these?
-
Showing September now, sorry.
Thanks, Alex. I saw that Self Edge still has my size in stock, so I might go that route.

I've been putting a lot of wear into these lately and they are starting to come alive, definitely a fan of the 14oz denim and excited to see where they go.
