    Thanks for the recommendations all.

    I'm in Seattle, so if there are places nearby that have any IH items I could consider driving. Looks like Self Edge has a location in Portland a few hours away. Are there others people might know?

    I'll take another hard look at the 1955s, 634s, and a size down on the 888s and what might be available, but I would like to focus on the 21oz fabric. I will say, the size 36 888's I had were actually 35.0 in the waist (17.5" as measured flat per the video) and I'm not super inclined to go much smaller than that. Probably 17.25" would be about as small as I could button and I'll always err on the side of being comfortable/mobile than having a 100% amazing looking fit.

    @neph93 Regarding top block differences, given that the problem area in the rise was right through the middle, exactly as measured (crotch seam was pressing hard against delicate areas), how would I know that a 634 would be any different? Asking honestly.

          They appear to be in Virginia. I'm in Seattle, Washington (Pacific Northwest)

          As a friendly suggestion if anyone from the web admin side is reading; it would be handy if the stockist page listed the geographic locations within North America.

              You don't know. And I can't help you as your body shape is central to your issues. However, measurements are not everything as you have discovered. The 634 top block generally has a little more room in it and the rise sits very differently to the 777. I struggle with 777/ NO-LOT top block in the same way you do, but the 634 top block works fine on me.

                    I understand that, but compare shift+clicking all the links and zooming out on a map if not clearly obvious where they are versus looking at one page that says "Portland, OR" or "Denver, CO" is significantly more convenient. This is fairly common / standard practice for finding retailers or brick-and-mortar locations on other websites. Even better, some are moving to an interactive map view. I could provide many examples. Just a friendly suggestion as the IH website is generally very nice and easy to navigate/filter.

                      Which of the two denims are most breathable the 14oz indigo or the new 16 oz slubby.  Thanks

                        I have both.  The 16oz slubby is more breathable for sure.

                            What is a loyalty discount and the qualification process? Seen it mentioned several times - if asking rules me out from getting one then please ignore the question!  🙂

                              IHUK send out vouchers to customers once a year. The number of vouchers relates to the amount of money spent the previous 12 months.

                                Hello everyone,

                                I'm looking for a pair of 666 or 777 SBG. I'm looking to here about ya'lls experience with them.
                                Because of the super limited stock I'm starting to consider other options in a black pair of jeans that'll fade over time in a slim cut. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

                                Thanks a latte

                                  The 14oz black denim is nice, and fades in a cool way. Some good examples here:

                                    Thanks for the recc.

                                    Have you heard anything about SBG restocks or bringing back any deadstock? Everything I'm seeing and reading about it seems legendary, exactly what I'm looking for.

                                      I would imagine a restock is imminent since everyone seems to be out of them. I know the 634 is supposed to be returning soonish.  Have the 777 and love them.  Slim black jeans are a wardrobe staple.  They’re my “Night on the town then seduce the wife then fall asleep leaving her disappointed” jeans.  😎

                                        It's going to be the end of this year I am afraid.  We've basically filled the factories up for months, so stuff is taking much much longer than it used to….

                                          Sounds like a good problem to have, all things considered.
