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

[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.

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

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 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.

[Jett129]

My 555s stretched right back out,pretty quickly.

[Nskelton]

Only a bit of black.

[Jett129]

Looks like you had an octopus in your pants also.

For those interested here are my pre and post wash measurements.

Pre wash:

Waist 35"
Thigh 12.6"
Inseam 36.5"

Post 30 degree C wash:

Waist 34.5"
Thigh 12.5"
Inseam 36"

Now to get them back to IH UK for hemming. 

[Nskelton]

Tag 38

Pre-soak
Waist 38"
Thigh 13.8"
Knee 9.2"
Hem 8.5"
Front rise 11.5"
Back rise 15.75
Inseam 37.2"

Post-soak
Waist 37.1"
Thigh 13.5"
Knee 9"
Hem 8"
Front 11.25"
Back 15.25"
Inseam 35.75

The only issue was that I was told the pair I would be receiving had a 16.2" back rise.

[Graham]

Loving the pre and post measurements Nick, we really appreciate that! Hope you are loving the denim.

I must admit that the rear rise is the most difficult measurement to get right, especially with such a heavy fabric, Ben and I worked together finding this pair for you and I can confirm that they were 16.2" (as per the size chart) when measured The Iron Heart way. We can't wait to see some progress pics of these!

[Nskelton]

Yeah I've watched the measuring video more than a few times. These numbers are making me think I could try the 25oz indigo/black eventually. I'll get some pictures once they become less stiff.
