IH-777S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans

[Dmart]

Both should work with engineers. I made it happen with narrower hems, so 8 inch should work.

Am going for 666, I have the old 777 UHR… can be very uncomfortable in the waist due being low.

666 are the most comfortable jeans the devil fits.

555 nah I pass with that very uncomfortable for me to bend my leg up.

After soak and wash  they will tight up more

I will try the 666 in Hamburg if available, but am more tempted by the new indigo/indigo and have already the 634 which is the perfect cut for me.

@Kasi:

and that right there is my main hesitation on 777s. The rise here looks a little higher tho to where differences are within what I've seen due to normal build variability. At least we have both sets arriving at the same time to make an easier decision.

Go back to what our IH guys always recommend - compare what you are used to wearing vs what these measurements are and start there.

If you don't know what fit is for you yet, then measurements help, but nothing compares to owning them and living in them for a bit.  And if that makes you pause because of the investment, then perhaps go to the buying / selling section and look for a used pair so you can figure it out at a lower $$$ point?

But what Kasi said, was based his preference, based on his body and where he is used to wearing jeans on his waist.  We can't tell you what's too low of a RR or what's to high.

Are you on a horse

Yes-hah

Snag a pair, this morning

[Smiladon]

I’ll try to get some some before and after soak measurements up, if I get around to soaking today. I was thinking about doing the old wear and soak but now I may have too busy of a day 
Either way I’d love to see some before and after measurements.

The fabric is so nice! Such a deep indigo going on. Loving it! Thanks crew!

Well, curiosity finally killed this cat. I'm looking forward to seeing if these live up to the hype (I'm sure they will).

In the past six months, I've gone from "I didn't like my last pair of XHS, they didn't breathe well enough" to buying two pairs XHS, a pair of UHRs, and a pair of 19Ls for good measure. Funny how the body can adapt when given the right incentive (very well-made and well-fading jeans, in this case).

I'm going to have some very warm legs this winter.

This was my first pair of UHR back in 2018 and when I used to be much more cautious about how I treated my denim, few years later I tend to wash them with everything else

Thanks for the pre- and post-soak measurements, Mo.

@Kasi  Man you are on a UHR tear!  Wonder why you got less shrink in waist on these than on the 666?

[Kasi]

[Kasi]

I feel for some reason these I am wearing 555..

But not with a high rise.

Bottom side no builder crack 

[pechelman]

Those look great on you, Kasi! Maybe prefer these to the 666 in the other thread.
Surprised you got so much more shrink in the inseam than me.
