IH-777-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black

Unless you only ever plan an doing a cold soak when they need a wash, the yes, absolutely.
This is why getting it all out first is the sensible move. It will stretch back to where they are now, everywhere except the inseam. It will just be uncomfortable for a couple of days. You are only talking about 0.5-1” in the waist and all denim stretches 1” after a wash.
Morning, so I did soak them after wearing them for 3 weeks now. Didn‘t soak them ice cold but cooler, not really sure how warm the water was. Could have been around 30° maybe.
I was able to stretch out the waist about 0,6 cm prior to soak within those three weeks and did get about 1,4 cm shrinkage in the waist, which is about 0,8 cm tighter than when I got them. That will be like 0,5" I guess? The inseam shrank about 2,2 cm which is almost an inch I suppose.
Now they‘re actually fitting even better. Just love those jeans. It was so funny going from the 25 Oz to my 777-142ODs while I was waiting for the other one to dry out.

Thanks Jack for the help on sizing!
What do you guys think? Cuffs a little too big? Or lock and load.
Lock and load! Breaking in this denim reminded me of flossing my teeth..
…that good pain. Enjoy.

Long time guys, but here’s a pic with my 777XHSib. I’m really out here trying these new Chelsea’s out. Rogue Territory, semi dress. First pair of laceless boots 🥾

Evo is looking amazing @twin

Now the fit pics.
What is the difference between this and the other one you have? (I think is a 555xhsib)?

Could I run a quick fit check by you all? Thank you! Day 3 in these beauts - worried the thighs are too tight/hoping they stretch out a bit. No soaks for me until month 6 typically.
I’ve seen about 231 posts till here about the wonderful 777xhsib and I have to say those are the best fit pictures. Love the way it tappers on you. The only thing I don’t quite love are the back pockets. I’ll love to see them way up.

Tag size, inseam and leg opening? Looks absolutely amazing on you!

@spaniarddh The 777 fit tighter on top and have less taper in the legs. The 555 have more room on top and lots of taper in the legs. I like the fit of the 777s a little more then the 555. Next ones will be 666XHSib when 34 is back in stock. 777 fit more like the 666.

Just ordered a pair of these I sane looking jeans. I've got some iron heart UHF's, the natty indigo shirt, and a jacket, but I'm jumping in right at the deep end with jeans. Wish me luck, I'll be sure to post some pre-post initial soak measurements and some fit picks!

Good luck and congratulations, these are serious jeans. Documentation is always appreciated too. Excited to see how they work for you.

Thanks! I'll finally get to feel like I'm not missing out on a big part of the discussion (all tops currently, no bottoms
)
