        @goosehd yeah, I’ve looked at the measurement charts. They’re all fine except waist as I said - so just looking for the real world appreciated stretch in the waist.

          @RJScheuerle We aren’t able to help you unless we have some measurements which is why @Giles suggested measuring your current jeans by the Ironheart Method. I posted the video on how to perform those measurements.

          Once you have that in hand (measurements done the IH way), then we can give you some guidance on if they would fit or not.

          How much will the jeans stretch…maybe an inch to 1.5 inches. Will they fit? Unknown without some baseline information.

            …also because these jeans have had two releases, then you need to get the measurements from the seller. Your current 777’s have probably stretched with time and wear which is why you need to measure them. The waist of the pair of jeans needs to be measured so that you know how much smaller they are.

            You also need to keep in mind that they will sit higher on your waist. Do you have a bit of a stomach and does it measure larger than where you currently wear your 777 jeans? If so, how much bigger.

            If that difference between 777’s and the 888’s you want is larger than an inch, I would be cautious. Larger than 1.5 inches and I would probably say they won’t work.

            But as Giles has stated this is all conjecture without measurements.

              Yeah makes sense! I decided to pass! I realistically probably need a 32 from looking at models sizes on iron hearts retailers in combo with the measured sizes.

              I’m 167, 5’9” and usually like a 16.5-17 inch waist if lower rise. 16ish can work if higher. I’m usually more limited by the thigh. Need 12.2ish and can’t taper too strongly - 2 inches down from crotch I need at least 11.5.

              Really want to try this black 21 oz and don’t love the low rise of my 777s so I was trying to make this work! Too often times though I’ve made the too tight of a thigh mistake! Waist is forgiving. Thighs are not.

              Guess I’ll wait till the restock this fall and keep fading my 14 oz 777s for now!

                    @weftyarn i just commented about this on your IG but wanted to extend upon it here. I love the marbling on this pair. I think marbling gets a bad reputation. Many folks see it as a bad thing. Glad you like it too because we need more fades like this in the denim world- especially black ones.

                      @WhiskeySandwich first wash after 150 wear days or so. From there maybe every 20 wear days. 🙂

                        @Oaktavia thanks mate! I think the marbling adds to the character and will look only better the lighter the denim gets 🙂
                        I like em like that!

                                @weftyarn can I get an ID on that teacore black belt?? Looks fantastic. The brown patina coming through is perfect. Need one!

                                  For clarification, this belt. It is a holy grail of a teacore belt.

                                    @RJScheuerle Well… There’s no ID, it’s completely DIY 😃 @don_pipone and I made a few of these last two years ago.

                                    So the sad news is it cannot be bought but the good news is you can make one your one. 😉

                                          I used Fiebing's Black Leather Dye. Easy to apply, great finish and affordable.

                                            can't wait for the restock. if anyone is also in desperate need of another pair, i think a denim house in indonesia still have a few pairs.
