IH-777S-142bb - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Black/Black
-
@Alex 's fade pics convinced me to pick up a pair of these. These will be great winter jeans for my gloomy, semi-maritime climate.

Hey @Lowlander and @BlueBlood how are these bad boys treating you. I just got a pair and they were hard to do up at first and pretty uncomfy. Sitting in them now and they have certainly relaxed a bit. Just wondering if they stretched and became comfy for you guys?
Cheers!

Hi @Deputy, mine were pretty unforgiving to begin with, esp. around my waist. They have relaxed and stretched a bit, but I don't think they stretch as much or as easily as the flagship 21 oz denim.

Thanks for the feedback mate! Are they comfortable for you now @Lowlander?
-
Yes, I'd say so.

Mine are working out well. I bought them true-to-size and wear a belt, so I never had an issue with fit in the waist.
The fabric is very soft and comfortable.
-
Thanks guys. Looking forward to the journey!

Which denim fades more quickly, this or the SBG denim? I can’t wait any longer for the new Superblack selvage so I need to find something to buy me some time. The slower-fading the better.
-
Had a small write up about this denim, but time ran out so won’t go into it again.
Denim after the waist and legs got taken in. Knees to thigh and waist still ended up somewhat larger than expected but they ended up fitting better than stock fit.
After a week of wear
Edited to add - although I normally use Indigo Proof (IP) for alterations, IP was not used for this alteration. It took a few weeks longer than IP and due to stipulations measurements were not accurate, certain areas not even close. For ex: waist was 1/2’” looser than stated and it didn’t look like knee from thigh was taken in at all (measured several areas from knee to thigh IH way before sending in), I opted for full-leg taper. From past experience, IP does their best to accurately alter denim as stated. This didn’t come out as expected, but since I’m growing horizontally I will continue to wear as is. Not necessarily disappointed, but kinda expect measurements to be somewhat closer. Will not say who did the alterations, except for the fact that it was sent to the east coast, but will continue to wear this pair in rotation.
-
They're looking pretty good though @RoxRocks86, despite the less-than-satisfactory alteration job. And lots of evo after 1 week! I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on this pair. It tends to be fairly quiet around here!

Thanks @Lowlander yeah kinda noticed this thread and the other 142bb threads were dead as well. This denim is great so hope this denim stays. Been on a black 14oz kick since summer w/14oz IB’s, 14oz MB’s, and now these to complete the trifecta.
When it comes to black denim in particular I get finicky on fit. Slimmer the better. I’ve been assigned to flooring for the last 3 weeks so lots of crouching tiger hidden dragon action since receiving in these, which helped set the whiskers and combs faster than usual.
How’s your pair coming along? The evo looked great from your last post.

LOL yes I see why that would speed up the fading process!
My own pair has been in hibernation for a long time now. To be honest they have not been getting the love they deserve; too much competition from the heavier weight fabrics I own. Will take em out again come spring though!

I just picked up a pair! Rivet and Hide had a sale so I couldn’t pass them up. I’ll try to post pics soon, I’ve been slacking on that lately.

Looks like I bought mine a month or so too early. Oh well, I still really like them. I don't know what it is, but I never liked black denim until I started wearing IH. Their double-black and overdyed jeans have a real rock-star vibe to them. I plan to wear mine through the summer (in a rotation with the 777-SLB and PBJ XX-005) and will post fade pics later.
@RoxRocks86, sorry to hear about your alteration issues. They do look good, though. And I hear what you're saying about wanting slim-fitting black jeans. I couldn't imagine wearing double-black in a straight cut. At my larger size 38, that would be a 9.5-10" hem width. I'd look like the bass player from Limp Bizkit.
-
@BlueBlood You’re right about the rockstar vibe IH’s darker denims give off. Absolutely love them. Lol @ your limp bizkit reference, isn’t that style coming back tho?
Can’t wait to see how you treat yours when you start wearing them.But yeah, if they don’t fit like Ross in leather pants then they’re too baggy
-
Beginning week 3 in these. Still dry. Dusted them off and saw baby fades making their way.

@Giles Hej! Any idea when this denim will be restocked? This one could be more comfortable during summer compared to the BS69xSOP420.

The general concensus is that the 14oz is much less breathable than the 21oz though.
