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

[Winchy]

Will do…standby.

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

@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"

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.

do the measuring, a pair in tag size 32, goes from thigh 11,6 to 7,5 at the hem for example, no idea if that's enough for you…

[Dion]

Maybe you should consider the 555-01 as well?

@mikesantor 
Not much clue about Levi's. Been a long while since the last time. Measuring is the best bet. Even then you should keep in mind that 8oz denim and 21oz denim are entirely different beasts. Your external thigh measurements for your Levi's, repeated exactly with IH will give you a snugger fit. So factor that in.

Do you have any experience with IH jeans? Especially the 21oz?
