@WhiskeySandwich great comparisons i really dig that you’re doing this! Thanks

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Heavy_blue they just happen to be hanging next to each other and catch my eye lol. Figured I could show the differences in different lights. Each fabric is so unique. Some might think “jeans is jeans” but if you compare them they’re so different. Glad you dig!

[WhiskeySandwich]

The lighting, btw, is just normal house lighting, no natural light here, and no effects or flash on the photo. I think Iphone does weird things even in regular camera mode.
Another note about the shot of the back pockets. The 18oz is a 777, and the 14oz is a 888, they're both hanging from the beltloops at the same height. Notice how much lower the back pockets are on the 777 on the right. Add that the the fact that the 888 has about 2" more rise. Aside from the necessary added thigh room, this contributes to my reasons for favoring the 888.

@WhiskeySandwich interesting observation.

Are the lower pockets considered a feature of the the 777 @Alex ? Or is it just variation between production runs?

[Alex]

@T4920 i'm afraid the 777 cut was designed before i started at IH, so this is a @Giles question

[Giles]

When I came up with the idea for the 777 (well a forum member suggested the concept, and I ran with it), I provided key measurements to Haraki, but did not specify pocket placement.

Washed both the OD Lefty and 633s yesterday, love the way the texture slowly creeps through on these fabrics.

Jacket roughly 1 year of sporadic wear, jeans 6 weeks of daily wear.

Slept in these while the dried last night, a little mad... and perhaps something Filthy or @Oaktavia would approve of... but really happen with how it's made the creases settle in again

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 passive crease setting at its finest. Solid af fit my dude, love both those OD!!!

@T4920 very cool brother! Off-topic.. is that the flat head tee?

@T4920 this got me wondering. If just one person does something, it’s odd. If everyone does it, it’s boring. There must be a sweet spot somewhere in between but I’m not sure where it lies.

Not slept in my jeans yet but it seems to be working for you!

[T4920]

@ARNC If a handful of people do it, it's unrecognised genius.

I don't make a habit of it, but when I do, I do get a kick out of knowing I'm putting extra miles on my denim with minimal effort...

What an odd hobby we have!

Some beautiful fades from my 21oz 634s

[T4920]

@Heavy_blue yeah that's the one! I love them, a little more than the 7.5oz in honesty.. just that little bit more substantial without feeling like a sweater

[A Former User]

@T4920 they look very cool! You convinced me on those

[T4920]

@Heavy_blue size 42 would work perfectly for you!

My 888s 21Oz getting better and better

Worked on the house a bunch the last couple days. These BBs need a bath.
