Go back to what our IH guys always recommend - compare what you are used to wearing vs what these measurements are and start there.

If you don't know what fit is for you yet, then measurements help, but nothing compares to owning them and living in them for a bit.  And if that makes you pause because of the investment, then perhaps go to the buying / selling section and look for a used pair so you can figure it out at a lower $$$ point?

But what Kasi said, was based his preference, based on his body and where he is used to wearing jeans on his waist.  We can't tell you what's too low of a RR or what's to high.

Did I read the main page that UHR is a continuous production product now?
???

Hi everyone, might buy a 2nd hand pair of these but would like to know how they breathe - Ive seen a few different comments but not a ton of complaints.

I've got experience with 19L (not breathable), 21oz, UHR, and XHS, 18oz double indigo, and the old 18oz original stuff.  Can anyone comment on any comps?

One of my 1st IH denims were the 666 19L and I had to sell them because they didn't fit right anymore and I was so sad because that denim was sick!

tough stuff to break in.

Thanks for the education.  Still learning the p/n system 

Dying to see how the fade is on these….(pun intended, but I also really want to see da fades ::)

Is that a lower case L after the 19, as in leftys? ??? 

I'm so torn. Which do I łike more my 25oz 777 or 555's.  Its all about the fit, I know our chihuahua likes the 777's

I love the pronto cut. I had the tapered double indigo cut and my arse grew out of them.  Weird question.  Is the Pronto pocket the same size as the IH spec pockets or are the smaller?

Thanks Giles… Either way, they'll fit. Its just a matter of how loose they are... kinda an experiment in sizing from that perspective. The lightest weight that I've had were 666sii which were my "summer" weight.  Yeah, they doidt breathe all that well in retrospect, but it was fun.

Going to give this pair the business and see how they react.

So know the 555 & 777 cuts well.  10 years ago my butt used to be ok with 666's. Not any more, between working out gave me a bigger back-side, the slim 666 cut doesn't work anymore, the 555, 777, and one 888 have found my legs the most in a size 38. My only 777 is a 25 oz I got 3 years ago just as I changed my workout routine.  They still fit, as a 38, but not as loose as they used to….but by casually perusing Correlection out of AU, I found the last pair of 40's in these the old 14oz 777 cut super-super cheap.  I've never bought a 40, but they aren't that far off from my ideal measurements...im okay with a lil loose...

Jeans are en route, thanks to this pandemic, everything takes a long time to get places.  While waiting i see that there were multiple releases of this jean and the sizing came out different but 40's weren't released in the 1st issue... Is that true?  Are the 40s i purchased the measurements as-listed?  I know this is an old topic, im just wondering...

Excited for something new, I've been wearing the heck out of my 21oz 555's lately.

After ever so slowly wearing these, I'm finally at a point where they are well fitting again. Partially because I washed them too hot and also added weight…its on again....but wearing these reminds me if just how GOOD the UHR denim is. Is it completely dead, never ever able to come back?

I loosened mine up with a little mechanical advantage. Not enough to harm the hole, just enough so that it wasn't hard on the fingers. Technique over the brut strength

Had these for years. So tough to break in, I wore them on occasion, just now getting soft to the hand. 1 wash. 1 soak.

Apologies if this question has been asked previously somewhere, but if there is a extant IH-777-XHS, what are the odds of there becoming a IH-555-XHS?  Same cut as this, but the standard 25oz fabric?

This is my favorite IH cut.

Stuff happening. 5 full days of wear. No soaks.

@Dion:

^These are looking awesome! So so dark. I'm also digging those shoes.

Thanks much for the compliment on the boots, they are Truman Boots, made in Boulder, CO… They are a waxed flesh boot, so I'm looking forward to seeing the patina they give me on the rough out leather.

There isn't a good mirror in the office and lighting stinks at home right now, this is the best I can do for now.

Fit is spot on for what I wanted. These are close to my 777 xhs that I've been wearing,fit wise, the extra rise will definitely be appreciated. It's been a while since I broke in 25oz…

Exxxxcelllent.  These measurements shall do nicely.

Is this the same denim as the 666sii?

I have those as my summer jean, and the break in kinda caught me off guard.  They were also amongst my 1st IH pairs, and I didn't really know what I was doing…also matters.
