16oz Slubby Denim

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.

Anyone from the crew notice lots of stretching on the other models?

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'll measure mine when I get back to UK….

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

[Matt]

Yeah, I think it becomes a factor for consideration with slimmer cuts that have more narrow thighs.  Most larger waisted folks need that thigh room.  777 is my cut so I’m always watching the waist to thigh ratio and taking potential stretch into consideration.

All of these pictures are great! @Giles what is the size run on these? Just need to confirm a size 40.

[AdamJ]

@atm23 There will be Tag 40 yes

@Giles when you give your pair a measure, might you have a chance to post some updates on the fades? My nerdy sense is tingling…

[AdamJ]

@Oaktavia read my mind! We'll get them in the studio when he's back in the UK for some close ups!

Will size 42 be available (888 cut)?

[Giles]

28-36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 in all 5 core-cuts…

Are they more breathable than the 21oz indigo?

Per the above.  These are the measurements that Tom san took.  Our measurements usually differ, we measured them at 34.1".

My 666 samples will be measured and photographed tomorrow….

[Matt]

That makes more sense.  Thanks.

In the meantime, here are a few shamateur iPhone pics…..I'm thinking 4 washes...
