IH-777-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black

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

@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

Make sure you have a strong spine and don’t affect your legs.
Can lead to health damages.
You’re not wrong. After my 634XHSib are well broken-in, I’m definitely going to need a chiropractor and a good masseuse!
Perhaps your post should be added as a warning label to these Jawns [emoji6]

I guess we'll just have to see

Time to at least semi-retire my beloved PIH7ANN-R. The XHSib denim is fucking awesome, and after two days of wear they feel great. Not even that uncomfortable! The button holes were an absolute bitch, but once they started to give it all made sense.
I didn't measure them pre-soak, and I only measured the inseam post soak (hot, 45 min). I did get a good inch off the inseam which was a bit surprising. I feel like the waist didn't shrink much at all, but I never measured it.
