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

Looking good @alexswords! Love the still raw sheen of the denim. Is this pair possibly more stubborn in giving up its indigo than last year's 555-XHSib, or am I imagining this?

@Lowlander So last year i hot soaked early, and soaked again twice more along the way, however, i didn't really see any noticeable indigo transition until about 8 months in but then they just seemed to transform almost over night.. This year i've decided to keep them dry for as long as i can to allow the denim to create as much character as possible.. It's quite interesting to see what kind of affect a slightly different approach and subtle changes in variables will have on the same of denim over the course of 12 months.. I will say this, although rather stubborn, the XHSib is one of the greatest denims i've ever had the pleasure of wearing

Ok, just got done with an 8 day, 80 hour work week ?? and I wore my freshly washed 777s the whole time. Here’s what they look like

Is it time to wash… @Smiladon
Or get mucky more..
Nice fit… I am tempted buy the 777 for that fit, but the problem I will have will change after a soak or wash
It become a different fit in being tighter that the experience I had with my 25oz 777 XHS. ???
Annoy me.Maybe I size up problem solve.

@Kasi Well, i just washed them 10 days ago, so I'll probably let them go for a month or so
@alexswords I've come to the conclusion that its not the jeans, it's just you! It doesn't matter how they fit, they always look great on you
Am I kicking myself for sizing down, maybe, if I could in these jeans, but yours as always just look great 
-
@alexswords Starting to see some electric blue.

@Kasi I'm happy i could help sway your decision to give 777 another try! I think you will be pleasantly surprised
@Smiladon Thank you my dude, you're too kind! And i have to say your pair is looking great, it's obvious you've been putting in some major hours because they're definitely showing it! Also i love the no cuff stacked look you've got going
Can't wait to see what they look like after the year is up!@hoppy_IPA thanks man! i'll keep this thread updated at least once a month.
@twin thanks for l noticing! it sure does take longer for the indigo to start shifting if you keep this denim dry but i'm excited to see the outcome, If in fact i can manage to keep them dry long enough to find out..
@neph93 "this is the way"
@Giles The enabler of all things awesome as always

Mine Conclusion ::)
Five years ago I got it wrong going with true to size getting it wrong.
I wouldn’t even recommend sizing down, can’t even lift the leg up.
This time I have size up by two sizes, to make these works. Big thanks to @Graham sending
a size 34 out as well.Don’t have to worry about a builder crack.. they high up.
Only thing I missed the pockets which are wider than the other jeans.Still 555’s are mine signature jeans.. these will be a back up when ever I want to switch.

@Kasi fit pics of the new 777XHSib ???

@alexswords
Check it out no builder crack…. size up to avoid

Foot patrols with good art
Beautiful boots -
I keep coming back in here because I miss the xhsib I had in the 555. The 777 I have fit me great in the 21oz .Maybe I'll waste money again
