Arrived today. Fit seems perfect. All my worry about shoulder measurements was for naught. At this point, I think it may be my favorite article of clothing. Michigan winter needs to END so I can wear it every day. I'm grateful to this forum for helping me spend money.
How stretchy in the waist is this denim compared to the 17oz N? I get 1.5-1.65" of stretch from new to "maxed out" on the waist of my 777Ns. I wear my jeans pretty tight around the waist.
Finally found another use for that carpet fan.
Praying these got blessed by the back rise fairy that added some length to the recent 777 and 555 CHS cuts
The back rise fairy needs to F-off and stay the hell away from the 777 cut lol, it’s already messed enough with the 666 cut in several of its iterations. My gluteally-challenged self needs at least one moderate-rise option. Anything above 14.75” starts getting sketchy quickly on me.
Agreed. It's a show-stopper for me.
This thing is so tempting …
@manufc10 selfedge.com in the US just did a big restock this week.
@neph93 After wearing them all day I realize that there's no way these are staying in the closet for long. I look forward to an accelerated fade. After coming back to these after wearing the 21 oz for a couple weeks, I've noticed that these stretch less. I like both, but prefer the fit on the N. I'll probably wear the 21 oz on the colder days here in Michigan.
@Leef Nice fit … about like mine. Best fitting jeans I own.
Update on the jeans I posted about previously in this thread. The sun came out a little today, so I decided to put these on after washing last month (first and only wash - they needed it) and try to get some pics. I struggled to get any that show the contrast and coloring as well as they look in person.
Probably not as striking as some of the other denims like the XHR. But it's unlike any denim I've ever seen. I wore these about 95% of the time shown, so at least 215 wears. Like the description says, slow fading, but with great contrast. I have a new pair I may start working on, because these may be saved for special occasions as they're at great point in their evolution (IMO).

How much variation in the rear rise measurement is there? As in smaller. A 13.5 like I have in the tag size 31 S and N models ends up about perfect for me after wear.
