[Giles]

What took you so long  :D?

[Kasi]

Working out the maths why in the past the 777’s
Didn’t work for me  ???
Maybe went with a true to size mess up the fit after a wash or a soak.  ::)

Now I have size one up…

Let see how the journey rides on this one...
no harm trying again.

I'm in the process of doing exactly the same thing with a pair of 634

@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.

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

[RoxRocks86]

Solid fit on these 777’s @Kasi sizing up has done you good!

@Denimminer think of it as a practical investment rather than “wasting money” 

[BD81]

Nice fit @Kasi

[alexswords]

@Kasi that's it! they look great, size up to 34 was the answer.

[Kasi]

@adam313 good eyes Wesco and GAH The way to go

@Denimminer not money wasting but something to show for.

@RoxRocks86 i had a feeling you would like the fit thanks.

@BD81 Thanks for the input.

@alexswords  this one down to you sizing up, watch this space round 2 coming up you will be surprise.

@Smiladon wonder where he is, put a lot off effort in his fades, don’t be kicking yourself and size up and start again.

[Smiladon]

I’m here, just been working my butt off… while wearing my 777s!

[Smiladon]

Here’s some particularly dirty pics  ???

[Smiladon]

First one was a mistake. Thank god it was just another jeans pic and not something scathing 

[hoppy_IPA]

@Smiladon - no doubt you've been getting some good wear out of those.  how's life in that snug of a fit been?

[Smiladon]

It's probably the last time I go this slim, but mostly its the back rise that gets me. I soaked these while wearing and then wore them until they were dry about two weeks into wear, so they are basically custom fit to my body, but I'm just kind of over the super slim cut in general. I'll wear these for the rest of the invitational though, cuz they are still really nice jeans
Its rough after a wash, but after a week they feel good again, meaning I can't tell i'm wearing 25oz jeans with every move i make

[Kasi]

@Smiladon
Don’t worry you learn as go along… next time you will get it right..
That what happen to me fews years back, back rise was the problem.

Not only that I have size up along with a half inches more to be on the safe side when soak or wash.

Despite this Sting will still be watching you….

80’s song references aside, what cut will you be going for next then? 666, 888?
