IH-777-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Black/Black

[Nskelton]

@neph93 I guess I could've worded a bit better, more in the context of making the actual measurements tables. I know of the waist variations but does the same variations apply to the knee, thigh , both rises, and hem or are those able to stay more uniform?

[Giles]

Nope.  The 25oz denim is the hardest denim we make to actually sew.  So variation happens in all areas because the seamstresses are having to wrestle the fabric through the machines…And because they are not machines themselves not 2 pairs will be exactly the same....

…now that's interesting to know and makes sense.

@Nskelton:

Half an inch in waist shrinkage will get me to just about what I bought my 555s at.

. Note of caution… I hot soaked,washed and put them into a hot drier,and I don’t feel as if I got any shrinkage. Feels as if the waist might have stretched since I’ve been wearing them.

Stretch or no stretch that 38.1 is pretty much what my 555-01od measure out to after some wear.

@Nskelton - Awesome, sounds like you can grab a tag 38 off the shelf with no worries. See you at launch!

[Nskelton]

If there are some variances I'll probably ask for a pair with a little more on the rises.

[Jett129]

Years ago when I got a pair of 777s I asked for the pair in my size with the highest rise and it definitely helped.

[Kasi]

For years of wearing 777’s I passed…  ::)

“don’t go pass 555’”  :o

Tag size 34 with a measured 35 waist ( thanks @graham ).

Jeans now drip Drying after 30 degree wash with liquid soap prior to posting back to IHUK for hemming.

Knackered, need to go for a lie down. Just turning these jeans inside out and back again, prior to and after washing is like a full body workout. Needed to get my foot on to the waist band to give myself enough purchase to turn the trousers inside out

[Jordan23]

Interested in thigh measurements after they are fully dried.

[Nskelton]

Me too, even though my pair might be arriving tomorrow.

[Nskelton]

Before a hot soak, fit looks nearly perfect.

[Jett129]

Those look great,kind of how I was hoping my 555s would fit.

[Nskelton]

[neph93]

@NSkelton they look exactly like they should. Excellent work on the sizing.

[Nskelton]

This is probably more nitpicky but I'm debating if I should give them a weeks wear or soak now.

I should have said initially, but imho that is an excellent pre-soak fit.

Get the shrink out, they will stretch back to where they are now and look even better after you putting your mark on them. They’ll be perfect.
