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

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.

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

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!

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

@Oaktavia
Great , pretty excited what you think about them and how they fade. -
Can‘t wait to see the development of these @Oaktavia This denim is definitely on my wish list…
-
Looking forward @Oaktavia

@Mickey GT
Better hurry up and get yourself a pair
They might not be continous production! -
Thanks for your advice, @Daniel San - highly appreciated. Honestly speaking my new winter project is already "in stack": the BS69xSOP420. I usually only have one denim in the heavy rotation.
Others are buying denims twice a month - but from my point of view that's not the philosophy of wearing (high quality) denims where fades and strong evolution are desired. I fully concentrate on one pair for at least half a year (and more). So if the 777S-21ib is not in stock after my BS69xSOP420 is worn for at least 6-12 months: bad luck.

@Daniel San so I know you've been curious about this denim. I'm on day 4 and can say they seem to breathe just as easy as the regular 21oz. There are already early signs of fading in the usual spots. I think these will be fast faders with high contrast. Really comfortable and feel amazing as per usual. I'm hooked on these and my other jeans are going to have to watch from the sidelines

@Oaktavia

I didn’t pulled the trigger, and now they are gone in my size
