@neph93 Thanks. Yes, I went up a size in these and gave them a hot soak. They do have good room in the thighs.
With all due respect you look like you’re solidly built, as am I, and it has kept me away from the 777 as sizing up is normally something I stay away from. Consider me inspired. Thank you.

Hi all, just received mine. I think it looks good? But man it was stiff and hard to put on. Putting it on made me sweat more than squatting 4 sets 8 295lbs. Do these look right to you. I have bigger quads so knee and thigh areas felt pretty tight. Also waist feel just right while bending and sitting was tough. It should soften up right? Or should I go with a different cut or size?

They look very good to me. I’ve seen them worn a hell of a lot tighter than that. Hell, I’ve worn them a lot tighter than that.
I think a lot of folks feel that the XHS is tighter than it actually is because it is so unforgivong at first. The waist and thighs feel tighter because you notice them more than with lighter, softer denim.
They will soften with wear for sure, but it will take a while, so be prepared to «feel» them for a few weeks/months.
You should also know that they will shrink a bit with the first wash, unless you give them a good soak first. You shouldn’t worry though as they will stretch right out to where they are now, if not a little bigger.

I think they look great. They definitely don't look too tight, even in the thigh area. They look comfortable.
If they don't feel comfortable, try not to worry. The hard XHS denim will soften in the weeks ahead and will become much more pliable. The waist will give an inch and other areas under stress (e.g. thighs, bum, etc) will also give a little.
Do some workouts in them and you'll be fine

Anyone wearing the 777 with engineer boots? #s look like the hem will work but a little snug.
I see a pic on page 15 with it working but it’s the only one. -
Hi All,
It's been about a week. With daily wear, here's an update.
- after 2 days of sore fingers, now all buttons can be easily done
- waist has stretched out a bit. It was never a problem, but now it's a little bit more comfortable
- thighs and knees are still pretty tight, although much better. Still can't bend the knees say past 100 degrees
- the butt area still feels a bit tight when sitting down (although standing is now perfect). Now I think I need to get some nice underwear because sitting/crouching always reveal an inch of butt crack (I guess I don't mind)
General mobility wise, I can now do a full squat, not quite ass to grass, but definitely below parallel (thigh parallel to the floor). Sitting and working all day is no longer a problem. But I still can not crouch down fully to put on my boots (needed a chair, made me feel like an old man).
I really hope this stretching will persist for another 2-3 weeks.

I’m also confused how a hot soak will help. It sounds like his are too tight in the top block - a hot soak will make it tighter, surely?
