IH-777S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo
-
Put them on with your footwear of choice, stand up straight and get your beautiful wife to fold the hem inward until they sit how you want. Then stick a pin in it to hold the excess in place and measure. It’s 21oz so there really shouldn’t be any shrinkage, but give yourself a centimetre extra just in case and for loss of length due to ‘combs.

Thanks fellas. im sending them out to indigoproof today and the wife is not with me. My brother could help
Me though! Thanks guys. I know that’s the obvious answer to have someone help, but I was trying not involve anyone else in my neurosis. Lest they see behind the curtain. -
When I ordered my 777’s I had them hemmed to the same length I as I do for all my 666’s and they fit about .5”=.75” shorter.
-
Thank you very much @xtcclassic that’s a tremendous help
-
You could do what neph recommended on your own, it's just going to take a little longer to get the correct length.
don't let anyone see behind that curtain, you will never hear the end of it.
as a way to poke fun at me my wonderful spouse has various passwords (that we share like joint accounts and alarm systems) with reference to denim and iron heart and she always finds it funny when say the motion detector is set off and the alarm system folks call and I have to tell them my safe word is "chainstitch", "honeycombs", or "jean pocket" jeez ::)

Does anyone have experience with these and a 634 or 888 cut? I’m wondering if the inseam length needs to be changed due to the lower rise? Short of having a tailor measure me up I will be hemming based on my other jeans. Let me know if I need to clarify. Thanks
Hey Matt. I’ve have experienced all those cuts. For the 777 I made my inseam .5” longer. However I usually cuff this pair.
I will also support Max’s statement on that it shouldn’t have too much impact on the inseam since the rise is all where is lays on your hips
Hope your tailoring goes well.

Thanks @Fadez I’m thinking I’ll leave it about .75 longer than I
Normally would. I can always hem them again. Too long doesn’t bug me. Too short is a disaster -

Haha. Thanks @Madmonday I will give it a whirl now before I drop them at the post office. That’s a funny story. Thanks for sharing.

Got these back from indigoproof yesterday. Haven’t taken them off since. I missed the 21oz. Fit pics in the next day or two or 3. I love these
-
Got presents today.
Did anyone work up a sweat trying to button these? I’m glad the buttons didn’t pop off! Loving the 21 oz. so far it definitely feels like quality material. can’t wait to see how these break in and develop.

@RoxRocks86 awesome fit!
-
Thanks for the tips, could’ve used them earlier haha

Ho bradda @Matty123 looking good! Maybe we can be twins and rock the IH’s on a job site one day in Hawaii nei

@Matty123 and @RoxRocks86 bonding over Hawaii, construction and badass 777 fits. I love it.
Rox, are you going to taper the 21oz as well? Not suggesting you need to, they look great, but if you do I'll be interested to hear how you get on compared to working with the 14oz. My seamstress has tapered 17oz duck, done hemming on 18-21oz IH and repaired holes in 25oz. She won't hem anything over 21oz and won't taper anything over 18oz. She's a regular seamstress and dressmaker though, not a denim specialist.
