        888

        Well, I have others.

            I’d say 888 or 666

              It’s funny…or maybe, predictable…but I sent him these pics about an hour ago so he can get a closer look at the fits. He’s having second thoughts.

              He liked the 555 earlier. Knowing Matt, it seemed a bit slim for his personality. I think the 888 is the way to go. We’re doing a second try on tomorrow morning haha.

                Awesome! I think 555 looks best on him, with 666 a close second.

                I bought a friend some Uniqlo selvedge jeans in the early days of my denim fandom, he still has them and claims they were the best jeans he ever had, but he didn't quite catch the bug in the same way I'd have hoped he would 😆

                  Ooh, this is tricky! Based on what you’ve said, I think it’s between the 666 and 888. 555 looks great on him too, but the others might be easier to live with as a first pair.

                      It all depends on what feels comfy to him! I think 888 or 634 personally. That would be the best way to ease into heavy denim. I’m glad he’s into the gift ❤️

                        @Mizmazzle from my experience wider fits don't fade as fast, so 555 and 666 will maybe look better in shorter time while the 888 seems to be very comfy for him but will take time to look worn because of the more baggy fit.

                        I personally think the 666 looks best at him

                          555 Looks like he has lollipop legs to me, 666 would be acceptable but for me the 634 takes the crown. the 888 look a bit to baggy around the crotch.

                            Also hope your buddy isn’t freaked out by an international bunch of weirdos (proud to be one) deciding what he should wear!

                              I say get him some 21oz if he has been talking about Iron Heart than give him the signature weight they feel soft from the get go and I am sure he will enjoy the breaking in process...

                                Damn dude. You are a dedicated friend!!! I think he went with the 634 because that’s mostly everyone’s first choice. But the 888 and 666 look stellar on him

                                  Thanks for the input everyone. It’s been fun hearing everyone’s take on which fit they think looks best.

                                  It’s cool because I was able to get the waist measurement right in the sweet spot for each pair. Now it’s really just down to his own personal preference on fit of cut. He’s coming back over this morning for a final “fashion show” since he’s had a night to think on it and look at the photos.

                                  Next question, and I do realize this info is available on the 21oz threads, but since it pertains to the task at hand…

                                  I don’t personally own any regular 21oz indigo jeans. I’ve got a bunch of others lord knows, but not the flagship. He’s going to want to hem them. So I plan to give them a cold wash/ line dry to get any shrink out of the length. This is best practice for this denim right? That’s how I’ve done all my own jeans. Will they tighten up in the waist and thigh as well?

                                    @ARNC hahah this is hilarious. He knows about the forum, and that I’ve got some advice from my international weirdo buddies…he doesn't know I’ve started a whole thread dedicated to the hunt for his wedding gift.

                                      Sanforized and one-washed - little to no shrinkage to be expected
                                      The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear
                                      Other dimensions will stretch proportionately to the waist

                                        So not even any shrinkage in the leg length when washed? Meaning no need to remove shrinkage before hemming?
