IH-777-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered
-
@Tago-Mago @goosehd the last couple of pages of this thread may be in need of some slight moderator cleanup - this is the 'old' 777-UHR, whereas the current lineup has the 'new' 777S-UHR. I picked up an old pair two years ago and revived the thread. I believe the recent chatter belongs in the other one...
-
Gave them another wash and still, after so many wear days, it made some fades more pop and gave it a wee bit more contrast.
-
@don_pipone those look really nice! I'm curious about the wash/wear stats. Any idea?
-
@Lowlander thanks!
I lost track somewhere along the way. I think it‘s close to 500 days of wear and probably about 8 washes (could be more or less) -
@don_pipone your fades are goals for UHR!!!
Do you recall how much shrink you got in the front & rear rise? -
@RoxRocks86 thank you!
Actually I documented it in this thread:

@Duffputter no, sorry - we havent heard anything, but logically we would expect them to follow soon

I need some guidance please. Im 5'11, 185lbs, 35" waist and my thighs are 25". I got this pair of 777-uhrs in tag size 36. Seemed like they would work but apparently not. The waist is 37.3" thigh is 13.5" and I figured they would fit perfectly after the soak but after trying them on I think im going to return them. I have zero room for any shrinkage in the thighs. You can see when I lift my leg they look painted on. Not to mention the bunching up in the top block. Im sure soaking would take care of some of that but if they shrink at all in the legs they wouldn't work. Im having trouble finding IH jeans that work for me. I have a pair of 888-14-od that fit perfectly and it seemed like the UHRs would end up at the same dimensions after soaking but im afraid to commit and not be able to return them. I just need some guidance everyone. I see people with 555s and 777s that are bigger than me that look great on them but I just can't seem to get the same look. I want a tapered fit/look but in order to get a pair that fits in the thighs I either have an oversized waist or straight legs. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You have trouble finding IH jeans that work for you but you have a pair of 888 that fit you perfectly? Seems like you have your answer right there.
-
@Phil_NYC the pair of 888s has a 13.1 thigh, these 777s have a 13.5 thigh yet have zero room for any shrinkage. So yea, im having trouble finding other pairs. I just need some guidance
-
@rickno504 the thigh is measured very high close to crotch and the 777 has very tight knee. So actually due to the taper towards knee, middle-lower thigh is tighter on these.
-
@moskiitto yea, im learning that. 1st time trying 777s and it doesn't seem these work for me. It was my only option to get a pair of UHRs and on paper it looked like they'd shrink to the same measurements as my 888-14-od but the cut doesn't seem to work on my body. I wish I could pull off the tapered look like Chris B. Guess im going to have to return these for someone else who can fit them.
-
@rickno504 the 777 cut seems to be a lot narrower in the thigh and bigger in the waist than they used to be. Unfortunately I have had to move to other brands now as they don’t fit me now.
-
Update: after a week of deliberation I decided to take a chance and I think I nailed it!

Just finished mowing my lawn, doing some UHR admiration therapy:
4 1/2month in. 1 soak, 0 wash.
