16oz Slubby Denim

I'm digging the relaxed fit of those! 555?
They’re 777 and a size too big for me. I could wear a 32 based on these but since they’re samples that means little for what the size chart will say. They fit similarly to my SBG Vater & Sohn size 33’s. Those were not sized well from what I read which is why the current iteration of SBG 777’s were adjusted. They fit well enough with a belt.
I’ll say this. Free pants be damned, I love the feel of them so much I’m going to buy my own pair in my size when they come out. We’ll find something fun to do with this pair after I’ve shown them the sights.

Good fit! I will be grabbing a pair also, they look fabulous. Beat the piss out of them !

I can’t say enough good things about these. I’ve worn 17 organic natural indigo, 18, 18 od, 18 double indigo, 21, 21/23, 25, 21 SBG, 17 duck, 16.5 double indigo selvedge duck, and whipcord and these are like nothing else in the line up. A must have for everyone.
Whatever the crew ordered won’t be enough.

@Matt great pics. I always remember La Cumbre for their Project Dank - is it still as good as it was "back in the day"?

Yes!!! They fit (even though a bit larger) and they’re out and about! I felt the same way you did putting them on. It’s great to hear you enjoy them so much. And just like you. I’m going to get a pair in the perfect size because the denim is just so damn nice. So happy they’re out and about and living! The pictures are great. Thanks again for receiving the torch. I’m so happy that these jeans will be passed on again. It’s kind of what I wanted to happen in the end. I know world tours are so hard to pull off nowadays, but I think we can figure out a cool way to pass these around the forum. This has been a great weekend and this is just the icing on the cake!

Here’s @Fadez first photo after receiving the 777 samples. Notice the waist measurement converted from cm to in of 33.86”…
Now it appears they stretched to nearly 36”…
I suspect this could create some issues for those trying to figure out how to size especially when the thigh seems to not have stretched much at all. A 36” waist and a 12” thigh may be a tough sell. Let’s hope the production models come in with slightly smaller waists.

Wow, yeah that just gave me a moment of pause. Looking forward to more information about this. I'm already stuck with one pair of denim jeans - not Iron Heart thankfully - that stretched way more in the waist than it was made known they would. I can hot wash them to bring them back in but one wear makes them useless again. All good though, let's see what additional info comes out. -
They probably aren’t too much more elastic than other lifter weight offerings. About 2” with consistent outward pressure isn’t unheard of. If the measurement chart for the production line of 777s is consistent with other versions I’d be good with a size 32. Time will tell. Good to know these have some give ahead of time though to be sure.

I can stretch a pair of XHS over two inches in the waist. I think anything will stretch if you apply enough pressure.
