Question: is this cut closer to a 777 than any other cut?

@Jett129. Thanks!. I am not familiar with the 501's.There is a sample tag 40 on this thread and looking at the measurements the closest I can come to is the 777. I am obviously trying to see that IH cut that are they based on.
They are not based on any of our cuts, Pronto came up with their own cut, but yes, probably closest to the 777.

@yannis I’ve always felt that the Pronto cut was the closest IH comes to Levi’s 501s. Others might differ with me on this one.
I'll differ, because there's lots of different 501's. You have to define which, or it means nothing.

Thank you @Giles

Pronto does different cuts. I have the tapered cut in the 10th anniversary and it’s very much like a 777 I know that denim came in a straight cut as well. I’m not sure if this one came in both but the straight version is probably more like a 501 like @Jett129 said. The 15th anniversary was an 888.

@Matt yes is came in a straigh cut also and it appears closer to a 666. Kinda like a slim straight.

I had actually thought about that when I,originally,made the post. I have zero knowledge of how current 501s are cut,so I’d be basing my response on the 70s to the early 2000s when I last wore them. My response is also based on my perception of Pronto’s rise,thighs,and leg opening compared to how I think my 501s used to fit. Take that with a very big grain of salt.

Pronto does different cuts.
Pronto does/did do different cuts, but the "pronto cut" is designed by them, all the other releases were based on one of our core jeans.

They’re still out there.. Brand new, just waiting.. Even 10 years later..!! I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.. What a thrill. Now if I could just find a pair of PIH5DCS in this condition in a 33-34 I could finally put my quest to rest. I’ll just continue begging the cosmos and who knows.. They’ve delivered thus far. Just takes a little while

Wow! Nice score.
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

@Brock crazy right !?!

@Oaktavia thanks mang! Craziest part is that it was two pair, back to back, both brand new. First, Kasi put a pair up for sale here in the forum in a tag 32 which I snapped up immediately but when they arrived I could tell without even trying them on that they were going to be way to small, they barely measured a size 30.. I was so bummed because I was certain I had just nabbed the last new pair of these in existence. Then not even two days later I was lurking on a Thailand buy / sell page and someone put up a WTB post for the PIH5DCT in some random size and in the comments another person said “I’ve got a brand new pair in a size 33 that I’ll never sell” I messaged him with an offer and they were in the mail the next day!! I put the newly purchased pair from Kasi up for sale and within a matter of hours they were snatched up by another IH junky who couldn’t believe he had found a pair, said he’d been searching for years, so I’m stoked they went to a good home! But man I swear Thailand has the secret stash, and from what I’ve experienced people are wiling to sell, you just gotta keep your eyes peeled and get ready to have several conversations that require careful translation including helping with setting up PayPal and walking through how to ship to the States.. BUT, it’s doable!! So I guess just keep digging and try not to lose hope OR maybe we could convince @Alex to be a hero and pull the fabric sample for a new limited run
