IH-777S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans
-
I mean, at this point I want to see what happens. I need to see this. I’m imagining myself at the airport, traveling with only these jeans and no other pants. I’m standing there in security, first there’s the slightest popping sound as the Rosetta stitch that needed to shrink gives out. Moments later I’m standing in the MIL, all eyes on me and my pants literally explode into a pile of useless denim. I’m arrested for exposing myself to families, put on the no fly and all I had to do to avoid this was boil my jeans.

I’ll kick in a 20$ too. I may also need it though. If we happen to be travelling at the same time and the exact same thing happens to me in the security lane beside you we can just give each other a nod. -

Just thought I would put up some fit shots.

Looks good!
-
Thanks @Heavy_blue and @Kasi I’m loving them. I probably won’t get them hemmed just because I like big cuffs. Especially in the summer with sandals or clogs, but I sometimes fold the the top of the cuff back down to make it look not so high.
-
You will have to educate me. What’s a Tokyo cuff? I guess I can google it
-
I just end up doing this most of the time
-
Here you go
-
Thanks @Kasi sort of the opposite of what I did. I’ll give it a try
-
Tokyo cuff is the way to go my man!

@Matt said in IH-777S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans:
Tokyo cuff ftw.
ya or keep the Filthy Cuffs brah
-
@Oaktavia ya I normally just keep the cuffs “Filthy” plus they will lose a little length once they start getting worn in a bit more and if I eventually soak them.

As promised, here is the 6 month update on my dry uhr’s. As you can see, they are holding up exceptionally and are fading quite beautifully despite the non pre-soak. I have worn these almost daily for the past 6 months, and worn pretty hard at that. They’ve been on numerous hiking trips, mountain bike sessions, and hundreds of long dog walks lol. These thing’s definitely got some miles behind them.
However, I’m sad to say that I’ll be ending my dry experiment with these 777’s and instead continue on with it in my new pair of uhr 666’s. My lovely girlfriend recently gifted me a very nice pair of custom Lucchese cowboy boots and the shaft’s circumference is simply too large for the narrow legged 777’s, hence the switch.
Though, I’m really enjoying the 666’s look. I love the baggier leg. I’ve been meaning to make the switch to a more roomy jean for a while now and happy I had the incentive to do so. Kicking myself a bit for not initially going with the 666’s upon drop, (especially when I literally tried on both to see which I liked more!) but oh well. They really are a “grown up” skinny jean and I’m happy I made the change, especially considering they are going to be worn for several years to come.
I’m also going to include a side-by-side comparison of my 6 month 777’s vs. my 0 month 666’s to compare the denim evo and see what y’all can expect at the ~6 month mark.
If any one cares, I’ll be posting the progress of my 666’s in the relevant thread.
Cheers to everyone and happy fading.
