IH-777S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo
-
Don’t have a machine and I’ve never used one, so in this case, old school is the only school. My repairs are functional but ugly and take an unreasonably long time to complete but this is Norway and skilled labour hours are expensive, so I try to cut costs and do some things myself.
I’m actually going to see Elvedina today so I’ll ask about her machines [emoji4]
-
Awesome that you do your own repairs! I get a kick out of seeing repair pics esp. when the jeans look trashed and shredded, but low and behold they get some tlc and boom! they’re good as new.

Ho bradda @Matty123 looking good! Maybe we can be twins and rock the IH’s on a job site one day in Hawaii nei
Yeah Sista!
-
Haven’t heard of her until I read your comment @Jett129. She’s a total badass! My jaw fell to the ground when I browsed the before and after pics.
-
@Jett129 what’s her turn around time for repairs?
Wasn’t initially planning on tapering these, but messed around with the hem cut-offs and lo and behold the old sewing machine didn’t stutter twice. I forgot to smash the bulky part of the hem down with a hammer, so first one on me.
Really digging the stretchiness of the 21 oz. hugs me in the right places and isn’t restricting.
-
pretty dope that you taper your own denim
what measurements do you go for the leg opening and knee?
-
@Jett129 - dang, yeah was wondering bc of the quality of her work. She’s a miracle worker.
Thanks @madmonday. For this pair, knees - 6 3/4”, leg opening - 6”.

Holy crap this last restock went fast!
-
edit
Just noticed @Giles post last week about this restock happening in a month. Unless this got restocked and I didn't know about it
-
oh…well I got the email notification of a restock...maybe it was just my tag size that got restocked?
-
Only one pair of 34's on the restock? Is that right?

Hi
I own the 555 in both 21 and oz and 17 oz and I am really interested in the 777. How is this model compared to the 555 when it comes to size? The 777 has a lower rise so how does this affect the waist size I should go for. Anyone that own both models that could give me some insight?
Thanks
-
I don’t own both but I have lots of experience with the 555 and have tried on the 777 a few times. While the 777 has a lower rise and this can affect where it sits on the body, I wouldn’t say the difference is huge. It depends on you’re body shape. You could allow maybe half an inch, but I wouldn’t go a full size up.
That being said it all comes down to measurements for the specific model/iteration/pair. Use the Compare function in the webshop to get an idea of how the 777 iterations are compared your IH-555-01/IH-555N baselines. It maybe that the same tagsize comes up half an inch bigger already.
