IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

[sellhimechoes]

Had to do some home made alterations on them.

Basically, they click when I walk which is VERY annoying. I can only assume this is due to the roomier top block than what I'm used to.

I turned them inside out, and right where the front and back rise meet, I made a little fold and stitched it with some thread which tightened up the whole top block while also reducing the rubbing and 'clicking'.

I can't see the thread lasting long but they are now wearable!

Anyone else experienced the clicking/rubbing of the crotch area?

Wear them more they will soon stop "clicking". Don't think stitching a fold will be a good idea

Well…. it seems like a good idea. No more clicking and I can wear them now without sounding like I'm breaking cardboard with every step.

Plus, for me, the rise is tighter so I don't need to wear them halfway up my back anymore.

… couldn't explain it any other way...

That sound will go but up to you i guess. Did you size true? Or one up?

Sized up. I had to to accommodate my thigh size. I've probably got a good 1.5" spare in the waist.

Thought so, had the same on a pair of Samurai's which i sized up on. Once the denim softens the clicking goes.

Cool. It's a catch-22 just now. Can't wear them as they click - yet that's the only thing that will stop them clicking

I'll just persist with the bad boys then (and take the stitching out…...)

Are the rear-rise measurements on size 34 and 36 displayed correctly??

[Giles]

On the samples we measured for the sizing table, yes.  And I can tell you, when we see an "anomaly" like that we measure, measure and re-measure.

I have just got the 777 and have been wearing them as much as I can and I find them a great fit too and the more you wear them the better they feel/fit You just need to show them who's Boss!!

Hehehehe  hopefully the pain will be worth it!!

[Winchy]

You soaked 'em yet @Kathrynnaomi ?

[Kathrynnaomi]

No because they are quite snug, I was hoping to stretch them out a bit first?
