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

@Luijim78 slightly off topic here, but the 555's just dont work for me. The top block doesnt fit right and gives me a pantaloon sort of effect. I also dislike the skinny legs; anything that constricts my calves is a hard no from me/for me.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

@twin I have sized up. I've only got a 555 to go off. I found myself pulling them up a lot so thought that the 777 might sit in the right spot (I think I'm correct in that assumption).

The good news is that I bought a size 33 (32s were out of stock). I just checked and there was a 32 in stock so I grabbed it and will compare the two.

@pechelman @goldstone0 I always go with my size 34 since high school.

Good morning everyone, no soaking yet (I spent almost a year on the 555 ) even if in Italy the summer will never end (today 23 degrees centigrade), after Covid and various flus, I prefer not to risk slipping into a pair of dripping jeans … they'll wait a few more days.!

Breaking them in.

@Luijim78 Now you got it right. Nice jeans.

Legs

Size 32 arrived and they fit much better. The wife agrees, even though she thinks 25oz jeans are hilarious.

they’ll fit perfectly after the soak

I'm on the fence for getting one of these. I have a 777n in size 33 that fits perfect for me, would a size 33 also work with this much heavier fabric?

@Marcel Go with your regular size.

@goldstone0 Look great

@goldstone0 looks good post hot soak.

Question, do all areas stretch back out to pre-soak measurements? If so, what is advantage of hot soak vs cold soak?

[Oaktavia]

@bluemantra the waist will but the inseam will not. It helps to keep the honeycomb fades stay in the same place when it is time for a wash when they get dirty.

[bluemantra]

@Oaktavia Thank you. Is there really a difference then in a cold vs hot soak/wash?

You are welcome. Yes, cold water with little to no agitation will cause less shrinkage than hot water with lots of agitation. Cotton fibers shrink more with heat and moving around.
