Okay...new to me 777 XHS. I went straight off the measurements and rolled the dice on this size. I was concerned about the tightness in the thighs but just wearing them for about 20 minutes now they seem to be much more relaxed.

After going back and forth with myself about whether or not this piece would make sense for me, I pulled the trigger on this after running through this whole thread.

Birthday present came a few weeks early this year.

Got these in early enough to wash and hang them to dry before my wife could notice that there's a new pair hanging on the rack.

Also thanks for the chocolate!

I told myself I'd pass on these.... resistance is futile. I sold a 777xhs pair that didn't fit so great which left an open hanger. Plus it is XHS season here in Chicago.

@Chibs I know this is kind of an old thread but I was just able to try this on locally. Based on the measurements I thought I would be a Large but after trying it on I'm definitely an XL. The thickness of the fabric definitely takes up space inside of the arms.

Ugh....I just pulled the trigger on one. Couldn't resist.

I came hear to say that my 666xhs pair is great for this Chicago weather.

@RubyRae You're part of the enabling problem. Lol Thank you

@worn2fade Watching your video makes me think I need this 526L even though I picked up a 526LOD at the last release and it's been too hot here to wear it.

Just took delivery of my pair and they look and fit great. Mine did come with a small nick on the outside facing of the shaft. It's deep enough that I can feel where it is when I run my finger on the inside of the shaft but it's not a hole. I'm wondering if this is something that I should be concerned about or is this just natural scarring from the hide and I should just wear them. The imperfection doesn't bother me but it might if it will probably worsen.

Just here to give an update. I exchanged some emails with Chris Warren from Wesco and with the guys from Iron Heart I feel good about keeping these now.

@Goz I think I'm in the same physical size dilemma as you where I can fit in an XL and L...I went with the 526J-142 in XL but looking for a different variant in L now. Lol
