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

soak, as in the bathtub/bucket/sink (or whatever) instead of a washing machine. A lot of people soak their denim before wearing, including sanforized, to get some shrink out but also to get the starch out. Soaking and washing prolongs the life of your denim.

If I understand correctly, you're asking why people soak their jeans, rather than wash them. Some people believe that soaking helps remove dirt and grime, without removing indigo. That will cut down on the smell of dirty jeans and help prolong the life of the denim and create high contrast fades. It's like a very, very, very gentle wash, in theory. I don't know if it's effective, and I'm too lazy to try it. I find machine washing to be much less hassle.

hi,
could someone help me to understand:
sometimes I see comments regarding denim, like: 1 year, 5 soak, 1 wash.
what does soak mean in this case?i know that I have to do initial soak for unwashed unsanforized denim to shirk it to my fit and make it softer, which means to put jeans to warm water and then take it back.
why then peopel do it 5 times? and it looks like they are doing it from time to time.
sorry if it is a very stupid question… ::)I have children around me so for Hygiene purpose I soak my jeans every 10 wears with gentle agitation in Dettol water. That effectively removes accumulated dust and sweat, I can tell it is effective because of color of water turning brownish. Jeans come out bit brighter and cleaner but donot loose much color, if you want to preserve color even more you can add vinegar in the water. I wash my jeans once ever 3-4 months when I think I have used it enough in warm weather or is accumulating stains.
I also like the fade patterns of jeans that are washed a few times.

I tried on this 777 https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-777s-142.html in a Store in Berlin in Size 33. and it did fit nice.
So wich Size would i need for the 21oz Version? They do not sell that jeans there so i would need to order it from here.

Use the compare function on the IHUK website to compare the measurements for the two iterations in W33. Choose the size of the 21oz jean that is closest to the IH-777s-142.
However, depending on how tight the waist and thighs on the W33 you tried on were, you may wish to size down to allow for the fabric stretching with wear.

I swear I miss these every single time they are restocked. Only one size 33 on this restock?

Hi!!
My experience with IH777S-21. My first IH was a 555N W36 perfect fit for me, and after 1 1/2 years of use barely stretch half an inch ;), then the last week I pull the trigger for a IH 777s 21 W 36
In the measurements table, both are real 36 inch, but I realize already that is more stretchy IH 777S 21, than IH 555N, both are extremely comfortable, I quite happy, I always wear belt, but with the IH 555N (I do not need belt), but with the IH 777S 21 I think is necessary, otherwise everything is perfect, I can´t choose one I love both and form me is a perfect fit.
I own IH 777S14 OD, in size W 34 after measurements is 36 inch real in the waist.Cheers

Started wearing these 3 days/week a month ago to the circus. Mostly labor days, minimal office work. Albeit dusty, it’s getting somewhere
