IH-777S-21ib - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black

[Raymond]

Finally got my hands on it, back to heavy duty after many years and need a fit check. Is it normal to feel stiff and tight at first right? Do ignore the messy background.

I think it looks good. It will definitely relax with consistent wear and soften up considerably. The 21oz gets comfy very quickly. Just wear it as much as you can!

Great fit

Hi all - looking for a quick fit check. My understanding is that these being sanforized and unwashed, no shrinkage is to be expected and around .5”-1” stretching in certain areas, is that correct? Also, does that mean I can get them hemmed without washing prior?

Here’s a few pics. Seem good but I also tore my hamstring recently so I’m unable to sit or really move around to see how they feel in much more than a standing position. They’re a tad tight in the top box as they currently sit, but if I can expect a .5” of stretch once worn in, I think they’ll be perfect.

Pardon the sloppy cuffs, just rolled them up to make easier to get on/off.

Try this first uncuff them, then pull the jeans behind the knees making honeycombs see if you can move your leg up
If not then
In my opinion you need to size up..

They are tight…

But it’s your choice

To your question if you can hem them before washing them the asnwer is yes. Shrinkage will be negligible if any. You dont need to soak them or wash them prior to wear. Obviously your choice. And yes they will stetch in inch or maybe more in the waist and probably 0.3 to 0.5 in the thigh under stress. Its hard for me to tell how tight they are. The leg looks ok not sure about the top block. If you feel.you need more.than an inch to feel comfortable then definitely size one up.

I measured them against my very well worn 777-XHS denim and they were identical except the waist was .5” small and rear rise about .4” longer on the new pair. My xhs are a tad tight (but I wear them near daily) so assuming I can get around .3” or so in the top box/thighs, they will be perfection. If not, should still fit great once broken in. I think the measurements (on paper) of going to the next size up will be a bit more than I’m looking for.

Fingers crossed.

Took some photos of my older 25ozib next to new 21ozib to compare.

@Oaktavia
how do you like the 21 ib ?
is it comparable to the "normal" 21oz denim ?
would like to see a review from you

[Daniel San]

@Oaktavia
See above

[Oaktavia]

I haven't worn them much yet but I will look at the 805 and 21ozib more closely soon and let you know what I think.

[Danwel1]

Had the pants hemmed, and now have a weeks wear. Overall the fit is great. I had them hemmed a tad long but should allow for some good stacking.

The 21oz vs my 25oz seem 100x cooler in this Texas summer. I wore my 25oz for basically the last year straight so these are a welcomed relief.

Since I tore my hamstring, I still can’t tie shoes. I busted out these Red Wing Heritage shoes I bought almost 3 years ago and had never worn.. I’m able to slip them on and I’ve taken a solid liking to them!

[Oaktavia]

Looking good and forward to the fades..

[Oaktavia]

@Daniel San okay I belive I am ready to start wearing these as my everyday almost jeans

[Daniel San]

@Oaktavia
Great , pretty excited what you think about them and how they fade.

Day 1

[Mickey GT]

Can‘t wait to see the development of these @Oaktavia This denim is definitely on my wish list…

[Oaktavia]

I'm stoked I finally settled in my main pair. Gave it lots of thought and I want to see how these fade. I'll be updating this sub over time with photos as they progress.

Looking forward @Oaktavia

@Mickey GT
Better hurry up and get yourself a pair
