IH-777-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
Here are some pics of mine after a month of wear. They’ve broken in nicely. I gave them a warm soak with some agitation before wearing. They were SUPER tight afterwards, but have since stretched back out. I am really loving the fit and feel of these.
-
One problem I'm having though is with the button fly area. Its super stiff and digs into my stomach when I sit, making it a bit uncomfortable. Anyone else ever have this problem?
The waistband where it buttons up is a pretty heavy, thick inflexible area, with a right angle of felled 25oz seam. So that will dig in. The good news is that with wear the waistband will stretch and that area will soften.
Either that or your stomach will develop callouses and so you won’t notice anymore. [emoji1]

@bobbychacha great looking jeans right there! Almost the exact amount of evo in the same places. I’m loving mine. They were before wearing them my ideal measurements and after wearing them for a month I am absolutely in love with them.
@pacreamer i agree with the above statement from Neph. The waistband will stretch, especially if there’s pressure exerted there. My problem was more on my hip bones but it went away
-
@neph93 Yeah, that's totally what I was figuring. Can't wait for that stomach callous!

First update for the Indigo Invitational after 30 light wear days. Taking it slow and letting the denim settle in. I sized up one tag size this year to allow a little more room for the fabric to gain personality. I'm also finding them to be quite a bit more comfortable this way.
0 Wash, 0 Soak

@alexswords great fit mate

@alexswords How do you like the 777 versus the 555? I have the 555 and like the rise but have been used to a lower rise in the past. Thought I would get your take on the difference out side of the larger size.

I look forward to hearing what @alexswords has to say but having owned both cuts the difference is mostly in the topblock (the 777 is trimmer as well as shorter), and the leg.
The 555 tapers sharply from thigh to knee then straightens out knee to hem. The 777 taper continues all the way down.

I have worn both fits 555’s and the 777’s for two years. XHS 25oz
My experience with 777 was the problem with thigh was being tight low waist kept down… that was very uncomfortable.
Switch to 555 XHS 25oz, am not having them problems, can move around easily.
Am working in the 555 feels good to be in them.
Winner for me 555.
Every one has their own opinion what they want to wear.

I ordered the smaller size (36", true waist is 37.5) in the 888 actually, makes sense that it (888) should afford me some more room with the higher rise.
I never thought I'd like a med/high rise but I'm learning. I've recently got a few other pairs from other top notch brands and sure enough, they're working, feeling and I think looking great !!
Thank you all

These look really good and now have me thinking about sizing up on my next pair as well to get that extra personality as you say.
I think the stacking fades on these will be great. -
Hell yes! Coming along nicely, especially those combs. love it
-
@alexswords Really like how sizing up allowed the honeycombs to come in looser and chunkier compared to the tighter accordion combs that develop with a pair that’s more fitted. Will be fun to see how different (or similar) the 777 fades are when they reach the stage your 555XHSib’s are in
-
@RoxRocks86 thanks! that was the goal. By sizing up i hoped to give the fabric a little more room to flex and crease and shape differently than my tighter fitting 555xhsib. i'm excited to see the results after 12 months

Cross post with IHJ-64-BLK

@Smiladon Seeing some electric blue on those jeans. Great combo with IHJ-64.
Yeah, I'm seeing them too! I've worn them for 43 days straight, and they are getting pretty comfortable. Totally psyched on how they look with the 64. I'm seeing a bit of evo on it too, the inner "gun"pocket button is making a little ring on the outer leather
