IH-777S-142od - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Overdyed Indigo
-
Purchased in July. Sent back for hemming. Probably my only gripe, I was surprised that the hemming wasn't done with overdyed thread. That was the point of sending it back (from the US). I should've been clear but just assumed they'd match the thread. First world problems!
Thanks for the great write up.
Regarding the hemming…The thread used to construct the jeans is polycotton. When the jeans are overdyed they are «garment dyed», that is to say the finished item is dyed. Polycotton thread is partially man made so it takes up a little dye, but not very much. To match the thread one would have to overdye the jeans again after hemming.

I got my pair in. Sized one down (33) from my 21oz sizing (34) and they fit PERFECT (true 34" waist).
Super, super soft and easy to wear. Literally no break-in. Just a lovely garment. -
I scored a pair of these on Grailed.
Seller didn't know what he had, as the rear patch is missing.
OD was obvious, measurements pointed in the 777 direction, but I wasn't sure about the weight.
Turned out to be this pair here, in excellent condition. Nice addition to the collection!

The pictures are correct ? the newer od jeans with more environment friendly dying have shiny copper rivets right ?

Depends on the weight:

Hey Team. I bought a pair of these six months ago... and love them. Only problem is that I've lost just enough weight... that they're starting to get a bit flappy. I want to hot wash/hot dry them to try and shink them... but don't want to make them streaky (haven't washed them yet). But also not sure it will even work as doesn't the OD process remove the shrink already? Thought... they've prob loosened up from six months of wear. Sorry to ramble, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

- to prevent streaks, the jeans need to be turned inside out and soaked prior to wash.
- the OD process does remove the shrink from the jeans.
- when you wash them, they may tighten back up temporarily but will relax with wear.
-
@goosehd Interesting... how long do I need to soak them before washing? Will hot dry do anything? Thank you.
-
- I typically soak for about 30 minutes to make sure that they are thoroughly wet prior to washing.
- A hot dry may tighten them up temporarily, but they will relax with wear.

@goosehd thanks so much. Any temperature matter? Lay flat or in a bucket? Also, just out of curiosity, how/why does soaking prevent the vertical fades (which I hate)? Thanks so much for all of your wisdom.
