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

@FK971 if you want your final hem length to be 31” then you would want them hemmed to 32.5” to account for that potential loss.

Any solid intel on how close we are to a restock date?

@twin electric blue fades

@twin I don't usually appreciate stacks all that much, but the fades on the front of your stacks are very pleasing to the eye.

Hi all,

For context, I own several pairs of IH-777 jeans, all tagged as 33. My waist is just about 85-86cm.

I have realized that with time and stretch, instead of retaining a slim taper look, they all start to look kind of slim straight (not the aesthetic I was going for).

I have the IH-777S-21's and they are looking more slim straight as well.

My question is, with the impending release of the IH-777-XHSib's coming up (will def be a grail purchase for me) - I want to get the sizing spot on!

I know it's hotly contested about pre and post-wash measurements but with these I do not intend on washing them (for a long while at least).

I want to ensure I really retain the slim taper aesthetic on these as I do like my clothing fitted (not skinny-like, but definitely fitted)

I see the size chart for the IH-777-XHSib's would recommend a 33 but I'm wondering if I should go 32 to account for stretch and the inherent looser weave of this ultra heavyweight denim.

Any advice is appreciated!

Cheers!

@Art-Vandelay go by the measurements when they are released as they may be different to the last run. Unless they are I wouldn’t size down. Also, you must sow 25oz before wear to remove shrinkage and set the seams.

@Art-Vandelay you will stretch a little past the posted pre-wash measurement, but not much (and only in the waist).

I don’t know from your description where your current jeans are giving you issues. If it is your waist you should be fine going with the posted measurements closest to your desired fit.

When soaked/washed you will lose about an inch in the waist and proportionally in the other areas. The waist will stretch back out to the pre-wash measurement and the other areas should remain slightly tighter than those posted measurements.

The IHUK shop are really great at giving guidance regarding fit and you may want to email them with your specific concerns: shop@ironheart.co.uk

@goosehd the waist is pretty spot on and has actually stayed pretty close to the measurements from when i bought them for all of my IH's. so the 33's that i bought, in the waist at least, have changed very little. I would say it's more so the thigh into/closer to the knee that has stretched, giving a more slim straight appearance.
