I love them…the fit is great

[twin]

It's a good fit on you @Max Power

Here you go @Max Power fit pics.

[Max Power]

@twin These were made for you!

I got thin legs so these jeans work good for me.

These look so good on almost everybody, why didn't i like them when i tried them on? really want these but i am afraid i can't make the cut work for me… i assume that these stretch a good bit like always with the 21 oz denim?

[Jett129]

Just curious,have any of the 777 jeans worked for you. It might be the low rise that is throwing you off. It takes some getting used to. When I got mine I asked IHUK to find the pair that had the highest rise.

[Max Power]

@illo59 Yes indeed, I haven't worn them very often, but there's definitely stretch in them.

[illo59]

@Jett129 the VS777 was the only one i tried so can't really say. But yes, that might be a reason. Also i'm not a big fan of most super slim-jeans but these seem to look pretty decent… or the sizing wasn't the best... I don't know. I guess I'll have to try again.

@Max Power Thanks! You should wear them more often, it's imo your best fitting jeans- judging from the pictures in the forum.

[Max Power]

Thanks mate - I think you're right! I wish however the backrise would be a tiny bit higher, other than that they're a fantsistic cut (that I never thought would work on me).

Agreed, especially before the Fabric is broken in, at least on me, the Back sits a tat low.

I have found the 21oz SBG to have the most stretch of any IH denim I have had. My 8301s, once about 4 weeks old, had stretched 2+ inches in the waist, and nearly 0.5 in the thigh. A hot soak brought them back close to pre-wear sizing, but stretched back quick.

One should consider that these SBGs are raw (unwashed) whereas e.g. the 555-03 are once washed.

[Max Power]

Exactly. Mine shrunk a bit after the soak but stretched back to (and a bit beyond) raw state. I'm still waiting for them to get super soft and comfy as the 21 oz Indigo denim. However, I recall the 555-03 to feel a bit stiffer even after many wears. I guess a machine wash would solve that problem, but I'm afraid of washing marks at an early stage.

[Dion]

I agree, even the onewashed SBG is pretty stiff at the beginning but a soak/wash definitely softens them up a lot. I think it will take a lot of wears to achieve that without washing.

[illo59]

i remember them to be bit loose in the waist but a bit tighter that i'm used to in the thighs… i could need stretch in the thighs but don't think i can tolerate much in the waist.  ::) i wear the 21 oz denim atm on a daily base which i like best after washing but after about 8-10 wears they tend to be very loose everywhere. i ask myself if going a size down would help much or if they'll bee uncomfortable in the long run.

thanks for the input everybody.

[Max Power]

If it helps - my 35 has a 37 waist which is normally 1" too wide for me. In this cut it makes the cut work as it gives me mobility in the top block. I wouldnt want to size down

[illo59]

good point, i normally prefer a loose fit too @Max Power - I hope i can fund them after christmas and will visit constantin and sascha for a few fittings

[Max Power]

@illo59 feel free to shoot me a PM when you go there, maybe we can meet
