Extra long inseam in skinny tapered fit for extra tall people who still want stacks and/or cuffs.

@Blue:

I'm debating if I should try out N&F elephants or Iron heart 25oz or 21oz…I'm moving up from UB 21oz. Leaning towards IH.

Your inclination is a superior choice.  I have the Elephant 2s and they're not as nice as my IH denim.

Thanks, I would upvote you but I can't figure out how.

@neph93:

Two very different denims, irrespective of weight. The IH 21oz is a loose weave, soft, breathable denim that stretches and drapes really nicely. The 25oz is denser and initially an absolute bastard to break in. Worth the effort in the long run though. If you want durability then they're both built for that. As long as you take care of them.

I also forgot to mention that I prefer the "starchy/stacky" look rather than the soft draped look(t shirts). So I would assume 25oz would stack nicer even though the fabric is so thick?

Great answer!

I read in an interview that IH washes the "starch" out of the jeans. Is this true for the 777xhs? Do they do this to prolong the life of the jeans? Also done to the flagship 21 oz I assume. If this is true, why do people insist on not washing for so long to "save" the starch in the jeans for better fading?

I'm torn between 777s21 and 777xhs…..I already own a pair of UB421 (tight fit 21oz). I could see myself going heavier honestly and I don't find these too uncomfortable. I also really like durability in my jeans.
