@pechelman @goldstone0 I like to size up with XHS and need a belt when I wear all four of my pairs. I prefer this but if it doesn't bother you, it can definitely work. I would guess the majority of folks don't do this though.

@Oaktavia same here. In all the other 666's besides the ducks and XHSib I'm a 34. I went 35 in this denim and have been super happy I did. Sort of fits a lot like a higher rise / snug top block version of a 634.

@twin tomorrow I'll take some photos, sorry I didn't participate much in this period, but I didn't miss any of your splendid photos

[Luijim78]

@pechelman forgive me but wouldn't you have achieved the same effect by taking your usual size but a 555? The ideal for me would be to have the waist of the 777 and the thighs, knees and ankle opening of the 555, the exact opposite of what you like if I haven't misunderstood

[pechelman]

@Luijim78 slightly off topic here, but the 555's just dont work for me. The top block doesnt fit right and gives me a pantaloon sort of effect. I also dislike the skinny legs; anything that constricts my calves is a hard no from me/for me.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

@twin I have sized up. I've only got a 555 to go off. I found myself pulling them up a lot so thought that the 777 might sit in the right spot (I think I'm correct in that assumption).

The good news is that I bought a size 33 (32s were out of stock). I just checked and there was a 32 in stock so I grabbed it and will compare the two.

@pechelman @goldstone0 I always go with my size 34 since high school.

Good morning everyone, no soaking yet (I spent almost a year on the 555 ) even if in Italy the summer will never end (today 23 degrees centigrade), after Covid and various flus, I prefer not to risk slipping into a pair of dripping jeans … they'll wait a few more days.!

[twin]

Breaking them in.

@Luijim78 Now you got it right. Nice jeans.

Legs

Size 32 arrived and they fit much better. The wife agrees, even though she thinks 25oz jeans are hilarious.

[Daniel San]

they’ll fit perfectly after the soak

I'm on the fence for getting one of these. I have a 777n in size 33 that fits perfect for me, would a size 33 also work with this much heavier fabric?

[twin]

@Marcel Go with your regular size.

@goldstone0 Look great

Post hot soak.

@goldstone0 looks good post hot soak.

Question, do all areas stretch back out to pre-soak measurements? If so, what is advantage of hot soak vs cold soak?
