IH-777S-142bb - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Black/Black
-
@RJScheuerle they do loosen up but the weave is tight and it takes a while.
-
I’m glad I had some patience. I did my classic technique of some lunges, some warm shower water while wearing them, more lunges, tight belt to hold them up, wear them until they dry on my body, more lunges, and wear em for 12 hours. Now they fit like a glove. That perfect quarter inch pinch of extra fabric in the thighs.
Despite the tight weave, these are actually stretchier than they first appeared.
I will say that what is nice about the shorter back rise is they are less prone to diaper butt. Some other brands (RGT strong taper) are perfect on first wear but the typical 1 inch stretch in the seat results in terrible back sag.
-
@RJScheuerle good to hear your efforts paid off!
-
I’d say the fit is spot on. Just need to hem em now.
-
@Lowlander These look great!! May I ask: how long did you wear them to achieve this?
Also, do you find the 142bb to be hot? Some have said the broken twill 14 oz is more breathable. Curious to hear your take as someone who has clearly put the work in to this pair.
Congrats and I look forward to following how they evolve!
-
@WhiskeySandwich Wow! Those almost look like indigo or 142ib in that light.
-
@denimdad cheers, I'm at 287 wears to be exact!
Yes, I do find them quite hot. The fabric has a tight weave so it doesn't breathe as well as others. On warm days, I find my 777s-21 more comfortable than these.
-
These were a challenging break in but they are so good now. About 2 years of wear and a half a dozen washes. Really digging the roping effect happening with the yellow chain stitch hem.

@hjl360 thanks man I can’t recommend them enough. Will probably grab another pair on the restock too.
