IH-777S-21 - Super-Slim Tapered 21oz Indigo Selvedge Jean - VERSION 1

[Anesthetist]

I think you summed it up well!

[Bingo Baller]

Giles, could i ask how the top block fits in comparison to the 666s?

[Giles]

@winchy could you or @Axel do a comparison, maybe take a pic or two….

[Winchy]

Will do…standby.

[Bingo Baller]

Thanks @Winchy . I find the top block of the my 666's almost "Boxy" (in a good way) and just wondered if there was any difference in this area between the two, you've answered my question.
Many thanks for your help 

[xtcclassic]

@Winchy, would this comparison not be complicated by the fact that the 666S is unsanforized?

[Winchy]

@xtcclassic

Indeed yes, as those are the pre-soak measurements for the 666S.

Very happy with some recent 555-01 and the tweaks you have planned for future runs of these sound great.

I am thinking getting the back rise right is a difficult balancing act, as you don't want a heavily tapered jean with a nappy looking arse. However you don't want them too restricting either. It's got to be in proportion with the thigh measurement right?

[Giles]

I don't think there is really any wrong or right.  Well of course there is at the extremes, but we do strive for balance and function….

@Ragehaver Can you please post the actual measurements of your W38 777 (has it stretched much?)? That'd be awesome, thank you!

I haven't put any wear of them because I sent them out to get tapered a bit. I'll post an update on the measurements once they arrive and I put a couple wears on them.

[Ragehaver]

I'm loving these now. Updated measurements after about a week of wear, @den213 . I'll put some pictures up tomorrow.

Waist: 19"
Thigh: 12.75"
Rise: 11.5"

These don't matter since I had them tapered and hemmed-
Inseam: 29"
Knee: 9"
Hem opening: 7.75"

[Dion]

Thank you, @Ragehaver , looking forward to your fit pics :). The thigh-measurements seem pretty narrow or is this not the case in reality??

[Ragehaver]

Now that I check the measurement page, it looks like I measured incorrectly. I went from the center seam in the crotch to the side of the leg, not including the total remaining fabric of the back rise. So yeah, my measurement is probably a bit short.

Sorry for the disaster in the background.

[Seul]

From what I can tell, that's a stellar fit lad.

[Dion]

Awesome fit!

Yeah, I swear they breath better than the lighter 18oz 666S's. That could be a function of the fit as well – these have a bit more room all around.

[Giles]

The 21oz breathes better than the 18oz…

Any Levis fans know how comparable in fit these are to levis 511s?

I will bust out my 511s tomorrow and get to measuring but 511s are the best fitting jeans I have ever found and these look like a very similar silhouette. I would LOVE to have an IH clone of some 511s.

My problem with jeans is always in the thigh. I usually need a waist size that is 1 size bigger so I fit in the thighs. 511s are roomier in the top block but have an aggressive taper. Thanks guys.
