@Shogwoli:

After about a year of thinking it over I finally joined the 21oz army.  Took the measurements of my favorite pair of RRLs.  Was a bit nervous because of the super slim moniker, but damn if they don't fit great.  I'm 6'1" and 250-255 depending on the day.  Been wearing them since Wednesday when I got them, and today my brothers doberman jumped on me with muddy paws….....wabi sabi I guess.

They look great man. What size waist are u if you don't mind my asking?

Great fit! Nice honeycombs forming too. New jeans tolerate a lot of dirt. Let them dry and brush off any crap after. Wash 'em when they smell bad [emoji28]

Thanks guys.  Its been said before and I'm not the last to probably say but damn if the 21 oz fabric isn't great right from the start.  @Matty123 I am a size 38 in this cut.

If I was liking the 777S-21 fit in the legs, but the jeans were too tight in the top block, would the 555-01 be the fit I'm looking for?

I would say absolutely,but I'm,self appointed,President of the 555 Fan Club. I do have some 777s so I kind of feel qualified to answer your question.

[setandsetting]

People are saying this has a higher rise than the 666, but going with a Tag 33 (waist 35) it has a lower rise than my 666D Tag 36 (also waist 35). I'm just concerned about a sagging butt area.

[Jett129]

I get a little bit of that. One of my favorite sayings is "Everything in life is a trade off" You have to decide which aspect is most important to you and what you can or can't live with.

777 has a lower rise than 666, and much lower than 555.  If you want a slimmer leg all the way through, with a pretty fitted top-block, and a high rise, 555 will be good.  Self Edge's 301 cut has a much more relaxed top block, and a medium/low rise, closer to the 777. I find that higher rises suit my body better, and sag less, for the most part.  But I have a lot more hips, thighs, and butt than most men.  The ideal cut really depends on your body shape.

How'd you get the fades on the calves?

I wish it was something fun, but it’s just where I pull my socks up. I hate it when they fall down & bunch up apparently!

That's great; I love that it's something unique, whether the cause is fun or not.
