Hi all, these just arrived, would appreciate some feedback on the fit. They feel good, but could be about half an inch tighter in the waist so I am thinking a hot soak/wash then hopefully they will be on the money.

@goldstone0 in my opinion they are a little big for a pair of 777s, it's true that with a hot bath they will shrink a little, but after a while they will go back to the way they were before the bath, especially in the points of greatest tension, but that's just my opinion, then everything is fine as long as you like it

@goldstone0 i might be one dissenting opinion on your fit based on how you want them to fit. You really dont want a tight XHS fit as sabergirl and a few others have mentioned in all the other threads. I bought some 666's in this same denim that ostensibly fit about the same or arguably worse than your pictures above. After a scalding hot soak, literally pouring hot 190F water over them from a tea kettle, with a few drops of soap, and lots of agitation, they fit great and just how I wanted. The waist looks a touch big but it really also depends on how you want them to fit, if you wear a belt, and how they fit in the thighs/legs, etc. They will stretch back out to this state if and only if you put them under tension. So if the waist shrinks, it really wont stretch back out more than it needs to.

@pechelman @goldstone0 I like to size up with XHS and need a belt when I wear all four of my pairs. I prefer this but if it doesn't bother you, it can definitely work. I would guess the majority of folks don't do this though.

@Oaktavia same here. In all the other 666's besides the ducks and XHSib I'm a 34. I went 35 in this denim and have been super happy I did. Sort of fits a lot like a higher rise / snug top block version of a 634.

@pechelman forgive me but wouldn't you have achieved the same effect by taking your usual size but a 555? The ideal for me would be to have the waist of the 777 and the thighs, knees and ankle opening of the 555, the exact opposite of what you like if I haven't misunderstood
