IH-777-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo

I hope these will remain extant until I can afford them…. These are what I've always wanted. I couldn't believe it when I saw the Iron Heart email today. I don't want to get a new pair yet until my overalls are Fade Friday worthy either. Unless you decide to make a run of 25 oz overalls.

Rats.  I hate to be that guy, but…I think the size 28 would be perfect in pretty much every way except the waist.  28 tag is the only one with skinny enough thighs...but then again, that would depend on how much these would stretch.

Any chance you have a pair of 28s with a waist in the 29-29.5 inch range?  If so, PM me...I may be interested to find out what it's like to bleed indigo from the knees.

EDIT: FWIW, I'd need them to stretch out to 30-30.5 in the waist for an ideal fit.

Hello sorry it's not the hello thread. My real name is Dan I'm 43 years old and I'm a bomber or industrial radiographer we use gamma sources to X-ray pipes so that's where gammaman comes from.
I got into selvedge about three years ago when I brought a pair of lee 101z which I wore for about 12 months.Then I went balls deep and purchased a pair of 666 xhs and wore for 1 year but they are 2 years old.
These new 777 xhs I down sized by 1.5 inches the same as the Devils and I'm loving them. The top box in 666 was so tight to begin with but these have more room but less room behind the back of the knees my tendons are sore.
I love Iron Heart. I mixed up the old with the new for you.

Got these a week ago. I'm already feeling the love. They are stiff as hell, but I like the lines. These were designed for me.

[T.J.]

how many shrinkage can i expect in the waist after a hot soak/wash?

[Giles]

No more than 1/2 an inch….

[PattyCakez]

@W1N  Those look perfect on you  :-*….. enjoy!

I really want to get these but idk what size would be best. My rogue territories right now have a 32" waist, 10.8" thigh, 7.75" knee, and a 7.2" hem all after stretch. I'd like to have a sub 7" hem if possible and like a 7.5" knee. I feel like my optimal size for everything is between a size 29, 30, and 31 lol. I'd like to have a 29 with a waist around 30.5 or a little bigger and a thigh around 10.5-10.7 but maybe im just being too picky idk. what size would you guys recommend to get around those measurements

I guess what I'm asking is if you have a size 29 with something like a 30.5" waist cuz idk if the denim stretches 2". and maybe a smaller thigh than 10.9" but if not its cool because everything else is perfect fit wise

[Giles]

2"?  I would not put my body through that with the 25…..

[IndigoNoob]

Yeah thats why im struggling lol everything would fit perfectly in the 29 but the waist lol I'm down for getting 1.5" stretch but idk if I could handle trying to get 2"

[Giles]

Square peg, round hole.  Consider a different cut.

[IndigoNoob]

Yeah thats how I feel but i dont think there is anything slimmer in the 25. maybe ill just have to bulk up a bit and squat lol
