      Hey y'all! I've owned a pair of 777 in the 21oz denim for the past few years, and want to pick up a pair in this 14oz denim. Just feeling a little caught between sizes, since a lot of people here are saying this 14oz denim doesn't stretch as much as the 21oz.

      Only issue I have with my 21oz pair is when I sit down and stand back up (especially in the car,) they get pulled down a bit in the back. I figure it's my own fault for wearing them so slim in the top block and thigh. They fit great when I'm standing/walking, like a glove! But they are certainly worn quite slim. I don't know if I'm on the right track by considering one size larger, or if the bit of extra room everywhere will just exacerbate this problem I have. Thanks!

        I’d say the problem is the cut, not sizing. The rise on the 777 is the lowest of IH cuts.

        Sizing up will give you a slightly higher rise, so it may work, Alternatively you could try the 555 which is both slim in the the thigh, tapered, but has a higher rise.

          I had that problem years ago with that 777 25oz hanging down… when they first drop

          Stop wearing the 777.

          When back to them, this time I size up..

          Am ok with, not bother if they lose on the legs..

            Thanks so much for the quick replies! I did suspect the culprit was the lower rise, but "10/14" has been all I've known for decades 😃 Unfortunately, I'm built like Hank Hill, so any time I've tried a cut even hinting at "mid-rise" or larger, has resulted in diaper butt. I'll go with a size up in the 14oz and see how they fare!

              @replus if you have the chance to try the 555 on then do, but a sized up 777 sounds good. Best of luck, and let us know how u get on.

                Oh, the 555's knee measurement would be cutting it really close for comfort! Otherwise, I'd totally give it a shot. Unfortunately, no local retailers. I'll think it over & get in touch w/ IH customer service once there's a restock!

                  Is the restock still expected for June?

                    @rheubanks I would say more likely July based on the latest update but with all production estimates there can be wiggle room either way

                      Hi everybody , I am new in the IH community and want to introduce myself.  I am a 61 year old male living in The Netherlands. Still feel like a 25 year old though despite the guy in the mirror telling me different !  I am rather slim hence I wanted to give the 777S 142 a goafter having read about the different blocks of IH. I have been a raw adapt since many decades and “my” jeans has always been the Lee 101S in dry.  I know, I know 13.75oz is nothing vs what You guys use to wear but I will give the heavier denim a try via the 14oz and take it from there 🙂
                      Now I have bought a 777S 142 and the fit is fine but I would like to have a little more room along the upper legs.
                      Waist in size 33 is fine for me and also the taper (hem) is o.k. But I find the denim a little tight atound my upper legs.
                      Now I have read that there is not much stretch to be expected from this fabric but I want to know if the 14oz will get a  bit more “easy” on the upper legs by wearing them for a week or so.    I already gave them a soak in a bath tub with handwarm water and vinegar in order to have the final hemming length clear. I had them hemmed here in Amsterdam with a Union Special machine.  So cool to see these old machines doing the job. ( and Youri the tailor is a super guy as well)
                      Please let me know what I can expect about “give” in these jeans .
                      Thanks a lot !

                        Picked up a pair at SENY recently. Wife and I will be moving somewhere quite a bit more humid in ~6 months, and I found 25 oz denim rather unpleasantly sweaty while visiting, so bought something much lighter.  🙂

                        A sharp new pair of jeans really pairs well with my color 2 wing tip Aldens. I definitely new yellow shirting to go with my Phin /Ebbets Ukraine colors cap.  😉

                              Thanks, Alex. I saw that Self Edge still has my size in stock, so I might go that route.

                                I've been putting a lot of wear into these lately and they are starting to come alive, definitely a fan of the 14oz denim and excited to see where they go.
