IH-777S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo

[Appfaff]

Congrats on a great pair! Yes they stretch (a little over an inch in the waist) but it takes some time - probably a good 20 wear days.. where as I can get the 21oz to stretch 1.5-2inches in 2-3 days.

Thanks! Should they feel super tight in the waist when first breaking them in?

1.5-2 inches in the waist? I was happy with the brand new fit of the 555-01 21,oz. Its a bit tight in the waist, I can take 1 inch of strectch, but the rest is just a big snug. I dont think I shoud size down becouse the knee is pretty slim, but maybe get a different cut if these are going to strecth that much in the waist, what about the other parts?

Thigh and knee won’t stretch much at all. Maybe 0.2”. The waist going to 2” is not usual and normally happens with a very tight starting point. 1-1.5” is more normal. If yours are “a little tight” to start then you’ll be fine. That is exactly how they should be.

Super tight is kind of relative and subjective. The 777 top block is quite trim so they may be too small. And you may struggle to get them comfy. Impossible to say without a picture.

Man, these are hard for me to fade for some reason!

@Yury Dmitrenko congratulations! Let us know how it goes.

Hey!
I didn’t manage to immediately share my impressions of the new 777S-142. I won't write much now. The package traveled across Russia painfully for a long time, plus the tax was torn off at the customs due to the excess of 200 euros. The fucking Russian government no longer knows how to rip off its people. Well, okay, fuck this government. My calculations for the size turned out to be correct and I made the right choice with the 777S-142. They sit just perfect. So far I only wear them around the apartment, they are now like my home pajamas. Haha. It's cold outside while I drive in XHS. A couple more weeks of spring and I will already be alternating jeans.

Привет!
Не получилось сразу поделится впечатлениями от новых 777S-142. Не много напишу сейчас. Посылка по России ехала мучительно долго, плюс на таможне налог содрали из-за превышения 200 евро. Ебучее российское правительство уже не знает как ободрать свой народ. Ну да ладно, в жопу это правительство. Мои расчеты по размеру оказались правильными и с выбором 777S-142 не прогадал. Сидят просто идеально. Хожу в них пока только по квартире, они у меня сейчас типа домашней пижамы. Ха-ха. На улице холодина, пока в XHS гоняю. Еще пару неделек весны и буду уже чередовать джинсы.

Excellent! Well, not the bit about customs… but I’m pleased they worked out. The pics are awesome and the fit is perfect. Roll on summer and democracy! Thanks for the report.

Gave a bunch of jeans (including these) a wash, so here are some pics in daylight

I just love the texture of these…

@Alex , @Giles , any chance of making these or any of the other 14oz fabrics in the 777 cut in a tag size 35?

[Giles]

Probably not, demand overall for the other 14oz denims is way behind the demand for the OG version….Sorry

[Gammaman]

Here are my summer jeans the 14 oz denim is so soft and full of character when broken in.

[Appfaff]

Wow!!! Fantastic

Glad you like them.

Hey all - I've worn these every other day now since February….still not much stretch. I got them tight and they are still the same tightness. My weight is the same as it was 3 months ago and just curious if anyone might have some advice to get another inch or so?

Is it the waist that is tight or the thigh as well? If the former, you could try various stretching methods. My favourite is using a car jack and a block of 2x4. You need to be very careful not to bust the button but if you are it does the job.

It's the cut of the top block, not just the waistband. I had to give up on them. The weave is unyielding.

[Appfaff]

They will stretch, but not easily and not without  some exposure to water.

My first soak scared me, but after a few more, the stretch after a soak is almost immediate.
