IH-777-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black

You will lose up to an inch with a soak. If you don’t soak you will lose that inch the first time you wash them. After wear the jeans will will end up around the same place they started or slightly bigger.

Further points of divergence from your 555-OD will be a roomier knee and a lower rise because  of the different cut. There will also be less stretch overall. The XHS does stretch but not as quickly, nor as much as the OD 21oz.

It seems like the overdyed jeans stretch a bit more than other pairs, in the waist at least. Is that a fair assessment‍️

It is in my experience. I thing the reason is that the OD process affects the cotton fibres so that they give to pressure that much easier.

The OD’ed 21oz jeans measure smaller when new than their indigo «blanks» because of shrinkage caused by the overdying, but end up the same size after wear.

A little bit of fading going on.

Here we go! Indigo Invitational2020 is underway and I'm PUMPED to represent Iron Heart again this year.

This time the 777 gets a turn and i can already say i'm loving the slightly different fit! I know some don't care for the lower rise but i have to say they feel great. I sized up one tag size from last year to accommodate for the rise being lower and after a quick conversation with Chesson about measurements he NAILED the fit for me and couldn't be happier with them!

I'll keep this thread/the forum updated on their progress 

Year 1 competition pair approx 250 wears vs. Year 2 Competition pair 0 wears.

Excited to follow your progress @alexswords the fit looks great.

[Lowlander]

Same here @alexswords! The 777 looks great on you.

@alexswords You really did nail the fit! I nearly peed my pants when I read your "pants partners" post

@alexswords  Nice fit. What size did you buy this time?
