IH-777-SST - 21oz Shinayaka Selvedge Denim - Super Slim Tapered - Indigo

[Nskelton]

Late March according to the release, is this week late March yet or waiting another weekend?

[Giles]

We have not been told they are ready yet, so late March has probably mutated into some time in April…..

[DrPat]

Will these be able to be repaired via darning?  I know that some people doing such repairs only work on 100% cotton.

[Giles]

It's 1%, as far as we're concerned it may as well be 100% cotton….What other people think, I have no idea....

These will go live at 1600BST on Friday 9th April

Summer jeans! I think these will give my xhsbb and overdyed a break.

My pocketbook was hoping the sizing wouldn't work out on these. Alas, it loses out again!

I think it's great that IH is doing this.  I'm a little surprised more vendors didn't jump on these but maybe they will if the first few runs are successful.  I have a few pairs of Kato 10.5oz stretch selvedge that I wear for the summers here in Phoenix and although I love my 100% cotton selvedge you can't deny the comfort of selvedge denim with a little bit of stretch to it.  It's a very welcome break from "normal" selvedge.

I plan to grab a pair of these in the not so distant future if they are still available in my size.

How should I size the waist on these to account for initial stretch / stretch over time? I usually buy a around a size 35 (or slightly smaller – never bigger) waist knowing it will stretch to about 35.5".

I'd assume that these get at least a little stretch "out of the box" compared to normal denim, but to what degree? And more importantly, can I expect the waist to stretch about .5-1" like normal denim?

Thanks,

[Giles]

This is what the product page says:

• The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear

@Jimothy:

As linked by Giles, yes you can. It takes longer to get there than standard 21oz denim, but in the meantime it is a lot comfier.

Please, please, pleeeeease make these in black (with the red logo) and duckhead (my 777s are killing my thighs on the bike lanes of Copenhagen)

Well, measurements on these look pretty bang-on for me… And I’ve got this damn $50 credit just sitting there and expiring in a couple weeks... really trying to be reasonable and responsible here... 

[sabergirl]

Responsible thing is obviously to use the credit. I mean. [emoji2]
