IH-777N - 17oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Natural Indigo
-
Expanding my horizons…. I started with 634, currently favor 666, but couldn't resist the Pronto 888 (which is sitting unworn / unhemmed in my denim queue). I am hoping that the 777 will be a "sneaker jean" variant for me of the 666 since that cut works so well for me, and this weight will be good for lighter temps... And natural indigo and organic cotton speak to my treehugger soul as well.
If they wind up working with engineer and cowboy boots (my 666 often get bunched up on the tops of my taller, wider boot shafts, though they look great when pulled down), I may opt for this cut in the UHRs (even though I am going to have to start hiding new jeans from my wife at this point :D).

So I'm not the only one?

LOL likely far from it @BlueBlood

These just landed. I really love the denim and the cut! Very comfy out of the bag and the opening and calf are roomy enough for some of my wider shafted boots. This may replace 666 as my favorite cut since it works well with boots and sneakers alike.
Denim is very soft and there are clues of the dramatic vertical falling seen in this thread to come.

Lave-os com frequência!

Decided today to start working on these. The color is amazing especially with the contrast stitching. Really almost a regal shade of blue especially with the stitching when the light hits it. Just love how soft, hairy, crisp, and flat the denim is while still having character. Gonna be a fun ride with these!
-
Agree w/everythign you said about the character of this denim. The subtle nep is pretty awesome too. Looking forward to your updates @mclaincausey. Gonna start working on a pair of N’s soonish as well.
-
Yep! I still haven’t gotten over the color. Wish I could capture it better. I guess this is my first natural indigo garment so far as I can recall.

About 100 wears with one wash @ 5 months in. Slow but steady progress. Wanted to share for the curious. Stretched an inch in the waist and .5” in the thigh.
First IH purchase for me so not sure if the progress is normal. Pretty happy with them. Only negative is that I have trouble buying any other brand now.

@Tmulltuous, my understanding is that the 17N denim fades pretty slowly. For 100 wears, I'd say those are looking pretty good!
-
They look great!
Mine aren’t being worn in this heat, but probably 6+ days a week for the year to date. Only significant fades are the hems where I’ve slid around the house in em.
-
How these are going atm. I tend to rotate between these and the older version of the 14oz for work and really can’t tell the weight difference for the most part. Although the N’s have gotten a bit more smooth with wear they definitely have more character and quirk to them.
-
They look fantastic @RoxRocks86 ; getting me excited for mine to evo. Not been wearing them that much in the triple digit heat of late, but they are starting to show signs of shedding indigo at long last.

…@RoxRocks86 don't know why but your pic's made me think of trading baseball cards and chewing Bazooka bubble gum.

Thank you @mclaincausey that sounds like brutal temps! No doubt you’ll get these looking well worn within time. Your vintage 18oz is a great representation of what I think your N’s will end up looking like. Heck, it was your pair that had me pull the trigger on getting myself a pair of the vintage 18oz!
