IH-777S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo

[Domi]

Hey guys!

I'm now a proud owner of an IH-777S-21 and it's simply the best jeans I've ever had in my life. Cut, shape and fabric is amazing and fits perfectly to me.

Unfortunately I have an issue: from the first day of wearing I got some lined stains at the edge of the cuff:

As recommended I soaked them before first wearing for 15 min in my bathtub. I'm not a great expert since it's only my third selvedge jeans yet. But never experienced this with my other jeans before.

Is this normal for this fabric? Does it disappear with wearing and washing? Or what can I do to prevent this?

Thanks for your help!

@Domi looks like normal indigo fading to me.

[Kasi]

You can’t prevent this it’s normal.. all my jeans do it

@Domi Nothing to worry about. with some weartime, washings and more fading it won't be that visible anymore. Congrats, perfect choice to start with 21 oz into the world of IH denim!

Loving the new sizing on these. Near spot on. Only thing I would wish for in future releases for jeans is a longer leg. 37”. I am 33” inside leg but can only cuff these with a small single cuff and same with my 666 pair.

My first IH from early 2021. Many washes. Crotch repair from IH. Not worn for work and in rotation with others

Just love the 21oz denim - cut wise these 777 now feel quite tight after spending more time in 634.

@Alexander I feel the same way after wearing 634s for a while

@Alexander beautiful.. I’m about three weeks in with my first pair of 21oz indigo, loving it so far

Question for the vets out there. I have a pair of IH-777S-21 and also a pair of IH-777S-21od both newish and in tag 35. Would a hot soak of the former result in it shrinking to roughly the same size as the latter? I would like this to be true but don't want to overshoot the mark.
Thanks!

@Evertonman Sorry, but it will not. The 21oz has been sanforized and one washed with little to no shrinkage. Any shrinkage you may get will be temporary.

@Evertonman I am not a vet, still raw & unwashed ))) So, it's going to be a rookie advice ))
I would assume that probably yes, a hot soak can potentially get it shrunk a bit. Not crazy like a couple of inches, but considerably.
Last time after I gave them a tub wash in a "very warm" water (not hot), they sat on me quite tighter, on butt and thighs.
Yes, they stretched out then a bit, but still quite tighter than used to do even after multiple wears. Though I am a skinny guy, so works for me.
You can try to give them a hot soak for an hour and see how far shrinkage can go

[Evertonman]

Thanks guys! I was assuming the denim in the IH-777S-21od was also sanforized prior to the OD process. I was just thinking a soak or wash of my regular indigo pair would roughly replicate the OD process etc. The regular indigo pair fits pretty well but I was just looking to tighten them up bit. All good!

Just got a new pair. The overlock on the inner part of button fly is kind of loose along with the selvedge line.

Is this a defect?
Has anyone else had this?

I am not concerned about esthetics.
Just don't want that part to go off after a couple of machine washes.

They are exactly the same jean. So if you can replicate the aggressiveness of the OD process, theoretically you will end up with the same dimensions in both types. But in all probability, you won't be able to achieve all that the OD process does....

@Giles Thank you
