IH-777N - 17oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Natural Indigo
-
Update on the jeans I posted about previously in this thread. The sun came out a little today, so I decided to put these on after washing last month (first and only wash - they needed it) and try to get some pics. I struggled to get any that show the contrast and coloring as well as they look in person.
Probably not as striking as some of the other denims like the XHR. But it's unlike any denim I've ever seen. I wore these about 95% of the time shown, so at least 215 wears. Like the description says, slow fading, but with great contrast. I have a new pair I may start working on, because these may be saved for special occasions as they're at great point in their evolution (IMO).

Short post:
best fit ever. Just sits on my waist without needing a belt and wraps my leg just well. Feels like Mede-to-measure. After tried more than 10 brands and pairs, finally found the best cut so far even the first pair from IH was a failure due to my wrong measurement. Looking forward to the great fades!!!
Added a photo of my previous 777S-21 for comparison

@neph93 After wearing them all day I realize that there's no way these are staying in the closet for long. I look forward to an accelerated fade. After coming back to these after wearing the 21 oz for a couple weeks, I've noticed that these stretch less. I like both, but prefer the fit on the N. I'll probably wear the 21 oz on the colder days here in Michigan.
@Leef Nice fit … about like mine. Best fitting jeans I own.

Finally found another use for that carpet fan.

Just when I thought the financial onslaught for this fall/winter was over you go and restock these.
-
Just to confirm, this is the same denim used in the lined Type III correct?
-
Thought so.

Sizing chart on first page updated ready for restock Wednesday. New tag sizes 35 and 44 added
Did the thighs come out a bit bigger on this run? I don't recall what the sizing chart looked like in comparison on the previous runs.

Expanding my horizons…. I started with 634, currently favor 666, but couldn't resist the Pronto 888 (which is sitting unworn / unhemmed in my denim queue). I am hoping that the 777 will be a "sneaker jean" variant for me of the 666 since that cut works so well for me, and this weight will be good for lighter temps... And natural indigo and organic cotton speak to my treehugger soul as well.
If they wind up working with engineer and cowboy boots (my 666 often get bunched up on the tops of my taller, wider boot shafts, though they look great when pulled down), I may opt for this cut in the UHRs (even though I am going to have to start hiding new jeans from my wife at this point :D).

So I'm not the only one?

LOL likely far from it @BlueBlood

These just landed. I really love the denim and the cut! Very comfy out of the bag and the opening and calf are roomy enough for some of my wider shafted boots. This may replace 666 as my favorite cut since it works well with boots and sneakers alike.
Denim is very soft and there are clues of the dramatic vertical falling seen in this thread to come.
