Is there any news on a restock on this denim. I saw the indigo 25 oz restocked, hoping for this in the near future.
Settle down easy......

@Heritage_Guy Hey! We are restocking these in the coming months.
We are expecting these to land around Sept/Oct time.
If you haven't already, I would sign up for the restock notification

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Hi all
I currently own two pairs of 777 cut but looking for something a bit more roomy all around in XHSib, mainly in the crotch and knees. The 777 works well for me as I like to wear my jeans quite low and slim fitting however I do find there is just a bit of pressure in the groin and on the knees when sitting/squatting etc.
This has lead me to either 666 or 888 for my first 25oz as I want a bit more maneuverability with denim of that weight.
However I am worried the 666 is too close and will shrink even closer to 777 dimensions.
My concern with the 888 is that it will be the opposite and a bit too much room mainly in the top block and I will just have a load of saggy fabric in the seat. I think the extra 1"+ in the thighs and knees will be exactly what I am looking for so really my main worry is the front + rear rise.
So my questions are:
Can anyone give me any idea how much stretch to expect with the front and rear rise with wear after a hot soak? I'm guessing(hoping) as there is not so much pressure on these areas the will stay close to where they shrink to?
Can anyone comment on going from low rise jeans (777) to high rise (888)? Is it tough to get used to? How much higher do you really have to pull them up?
There are many users on here who are able pull off various cuts and always look comfortable and stylish so I'm hoping its not going to be as much of a challenge as I keep telling myself!

There is alot to unpack there @hjl360. The 666 probably has even slimmer thigh than the 777 but a bit more room at the knee. As far as shrinkage in the rise? It will be permanent. In my experience anything you loose length wise it doesn't come back, width wise it usually comes back to pre soak/wash measurements.
The 888 is a very different cut than the 777. They seat at your natural waist and not the hips. And they have more room at the thigh and probably knee than the 777. Its a beautiful cut and for most people if you get the waist right the rest should fall into place -
@yannis thank you for the response. That is what I was hoping to hear regarding the rise.
So I take it generally a smaller waist measurement is required in the 888 vs the 777 accounting for them sitting higher?
-
@hjl360. I will say you are on the right track thinking about a smaller waist measurement. Just don't get carried away. Too tight of a 25oz is not fun.

- I had the exact same issues. I also have 2 pair of 777's that I really like but are sitting in my drawer likely never to be worn again. I tried the 634 (XHS) and the 555 (17oz NI & 21oz SB). I really like the 634's but they are too baggy for me. The 555's had the exact same problems as the 777. Going up a size made them way too big. I was scared off from the 888 bc I thought they would be too baggy. They aren't. They are everything I like about the 777 but with those problems solved. It was actually @Denimhead-0 pics on the XHS indigo that changed my mind. His pics of the 888's look to me like what I wanted the 777's to look like.
- The higher top block does take some getting used to but I now prefer it. It solves several problems, like having to pull up your pants all the time, and other things too. Just a thought is to quit making the 666 and replace it with a "999" with a lower rise like the 777 and the same dimensions as the 888 otherwise.
- As far as shrinkage: this references the competing ideas of getting something that fits vs. buying small and stretching it out. In my opinion, when you buy jeans that fit, your question about stretching becomes irrelevant, and I think your jeans will last longer too.

@hjl360 Also when speaking of the extra fabric on the seat I would like to chime in on this - even if you nail the measurements right on the head when it comes to the waist - if you do not have buns you will in fact have extra fabric on the seat.
I genuinely feel like 888’s look best on people with thicker thighs and some cake. If you know for sure that is not your body type - I would expect some diaper butt with this cut.
I’m not saying diaper butt is a bad thing but since you mentioned you didn’t want that - I think this was worth mentioning. I was on a Reddit post not too long ago that this guy appreciated that extra fabric; I personally do not think it’s appealing (especially with my style that I tuck in my shirt a lot and the seat is noticeable.)
