IH-777S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo

[GTPowers]

I just have to say, once they were cropped down to 31', these are the best damn pants I've ever worn since caving into denim.

Thank you,

Boom! Finding the right length to hem jeans is surprisingly difficult, but when you get there everything looks better…

First day in 21 oz denim and it's a bit rough going.

First day ever? Or first day after summer?

[setandsetting]

Ever (well, besides my 526jod)

No worries, it will get better and stretch a good amount where needed.

Congratulations! Dion is right, couple of weeks and you'll be golden. I had my first day in a new pair today for the first time in about three years. After the XHS and UHR it's like walking around in warm milk [emoji28]

You have experience with walking around in warm milk?  Man Norwegians are interesting people….you are Norwegian right??

[neph93]

No mate I'm British, just living here. They told me walking in warm milk was normal when I got here!

[manufc10]

I don't think you should listen to them.

But yes @setandsetting, the fellas are right.  This 21oz fabric is hands down the most comfortable heavyweight fabric you will find anywhere.  It's amazing how IH makes it so wearable and comfortable at such a.heavy weight.  I hear it's cause they do something super sexy with the weft.  Congratulations btw, it's a great fabric.

Thanks guys. I think I just gotta get used to the low rise and hopefully not crush my balls in the meantime.

Your will always be intact in a 21oz denim

I ended up buying the 777S-21s I wore in the video above… partly because I stretched them out and partly because I couldn't be bothered to strip on the beach for a second time that day.
I also felt like a terrible Iron Heart fan since until this pair I've never actually owned any 21oz. Now that's fixed!

Loving it too!

[neph93]

Good work Sam, they suit you. I love the 21oz. Back in it regularly after a hiatus and it feels goooood.

[manufc10]

the 21oz is straight up IH OG classic genius.

Thanks @neph93 They're super comfortable already. How have you treated yours? Kept them away from water or washed them freely?

I leave washing until there is a permeable odour (how long that it is rather depends), at the first sign of dat smell I wash them, and after that wash freely. It's the best compromise imho. Lovely worn jeans but no one needs stinky clothes.

[Sam]

That was my general feeling. My first pair of IH's were the 555-02 and i waited for almost a year to wash them (after the first soak) and my god the smell after a while! haha… I shouldn't let it be a decision between killer fades and friends.
