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

[andyb34]

The fits spot on for me. Comparing them to the 511's which are also a lowish rise, I would say I have more room in these. That could be down to the 511's being a much tighter fit to start with and it took a long time for them to stretch out. Ended up wearing them without a belt and they eventually became fairly comfortable.

The 777S-21 were tight but not too tight from the first wear. Now the waist is perfect and the top block is breaking in nicely. The thigh measurement was always my biggest worry and the reason my the 555-01 weren't really an option for me, but that's perfect too.

All in all couldn't be happier.

Excellent. That’s good to hear. You obviously did your research, which always helps. I just wish I could fit into a pair too [emoji1]

[andyb34]

Yeah, for a long time they were out of stock in the size I wanted so I had plenty of thinking and reading (research) time. Quickly became apparent that 555-01's just weren't for me, which was a shame as I love the look of them on other forum members.  Sometimes you just have to admit that you're just not built for some cuts. Plenty of Iron Heart choice though, so something for everyone I think.

I received my pair of IH-77S-21 this morning and it turns out they fit perfect. I could barely button the top button and they feel great once I can actually get them on. Great pair of jeans. Now to send them back to IH in the UK for a proper hem! I've attached a few fit pics and will take a few more once I get the hem service.

They look to be the perfect fit [emoji1476] A bit of discomfort the first wear tends to be a good sign. Now go forth and bear the crap out of them.

the IH777S-21 has been one of my favorites so far, here's a 12 week update….Once the fades start to set in, they take on a life of their own

[RoxRocks86]

Nice @mannyrox!

[heatx]

Received my pair back from IH last week, freshly hemmed. They fit great. Very happy with this pair. I ended up going with 31" which should give me a bit of leeway in case I want to cuff with boots… They stack great too.

[neph93]

@heatx  that worked out very nicely. Great fit, good job.

Tried these on today in Rivet & Hide and surprising they fitted amazingly. Think I have found my next pair.

The measurements look really good on this one. Debating between this or the 777-142’s

Yep, sold out in my size again before I had a chance to grab them.

Any idea if there's a rerun scheduled in the near future @Alex , @Giles ?

Cool, that will be a perfect time.

hi,

could someone help me to understand:
sometimes I see comments regarding denim, like: 1 year, 5 soak, 1 wash.
what does soak mean in this case?

i know that I have to do initial soak for unwashed unsanforized denim to shirk it to my fit and make it softer, which means to put jeans to warm water and then take it back.

why then peopel do it 5 times? and it looks like they are doing it from time to time.
sorry if it is a very stupid question…  ::)

[Matty123]

That means that the jeans have been worn regularly for a year, they have been soaked in water 5 times and washed with soap and water 1 time. Does that help ?

@Bulatik85

soak, as in the bathtub/bucket/sink (or whatever) instead of a washing machine. A lot of people soak their denim before wearing, including sanforized, to get some shrink out but also to get the starch out. Soaking and washing prolongs the life of your denim.

[Chris]

If I understand correctly, you're asking why people soak their jeans, rather than wash them.  Some people believe that soaking helps remove dirt and grime, without removing indigo.  That will cut down on the smell of dirty jeans and help prolong the life of the denim and create high contrast fades.  It's like a very, very, very gentle wash, in theory.  I don't know if it's effective, and I'm too lazy to try it.  I find machine washing to be much less hassle.

I have children around me so for Hygiene purpose I soak my jeans every 10 wears with gentle agitation in Dettol water. That effectively removes accumulated dust and sweat, I can tell it is effective because of color of water turning brownish. Jeans come out bit brighter and cleaner but donot loose much color, if you want to preserve color even more you can add vinegar in the water. I wash my jeans once ever 3-4 months when I think I have used it enough in warm weather or is accumulating stains.

I also like the fade patterns of jeans that are washed a few times.

[Bulatik85]

Thank you for clarification, now I understand.
Soak = gentle wash.
