IH-777-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
Received mine today, and my usual size fits me well. Will be even better after a soak. Thanks to @neph93 and @AdamC for advice on sizing!
Do the button holes become even more impossible post soak? Should I put something in there to stretch them a little or something haha? They're not being easy on me..

My pleasure. Glad it worked out.
The buttons don’t get easier, the forst time after post soak however a pair of pliers is all you need. I have access to these which are perfect, but a standard pair works. After that you’re fine. Another good move is to do the bottom up before the soak.
While I’m on it, this is the ultimate tool for those tricky first buttonings. My first pair took about 30mins and cost me some skin and serious tendon fatigue every time I had to button/unbutton the fuckers. With this little fella it took me 60 seconds and was practically painless. To be honest it felt like I was cheating. IHUK should offer them as an up-sell with every pair of XHS… [emoji1]

Special delivery today! It took a lot of wiggling and jiggling to get these on and situated where they needed to be and I came very close to giving up. @neph93 - no pliers needed to get the top buttoned, but I did break a sweat! This denim is crazy! The blue-black combo result in a slight purple cast. @Smiladon - i think mine are going to sit until October as well. I don’t realistically think I have a shot at winning anything, but I like the concept and the community aspect. Best of luck to you! I think it will be cool having someone to compare fades (and break in pain) with over the upcoming months.

Wow! If I didn’t know better i’d say that looks like a 555 fit. Looks great but how are you feeling about potential shrinkage after soaking/washing? They will go out to where they are now, which looks brilliant, but it may be uncomfortable for a week or two.
The rise is definitely lower on these than my 555s, but it’s slightly more generous than other 777’s (based on posted sizing). I think the rise on these actually work a little better for me than my 555s. I can take a week or 2 of post soak/wash pain knowing what’s on the other end. If I needed to breakout the pliers, I may be a bit more concerned

Haha…. pliers are just for the buttonholes.
The top block on your pair looks particualarly good.

Ahhh, my bad - I was thinking the pliers were to address a combo of super tight/stiff buttonholes AND a super tight fit (i.e. the need to help facilitate pulling the button through the hole).

Got mine today too. Could only get the top button, but just barely. Hoping they stretch a bit, but I know they will.
Not the greatest pic, but I just had to try them on and then pop em in the back of the closet
I already like this fit over the 555. Not much difference other than the rise[emoji2371]. Ca t wait to wear em!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Smiladon - Awesome fit!
-
@bobbychacha your fit looks great!!!
@Smiladon glad you find the fit in the 777s more to your liking. It looks spot on
-
@bobbychacha @Smiladon Both of you have great fits. Rock them hard and get some epic fades.

Thanks everyone! I'm so excited to start wearing these bad boys. I took a note from @alexswords and went down a size. It's going to be torture for the first couple weeks, but I think it will be worth it, in the butt area
