Please do another run of these next year.

Got a large! First OD anything for me

I would get them, no doubt.

I’ve found that careful stretching when wet after washing prevents most of the leg twist. Got some leg twist after washing my 777’s the first time but it disappeared after the second wash when I did a better job at stretching them. They pretty much have as much leg twist now as my 555 21 oz SBG’s and 777 18 oz Vintage

There are pictures from earlier this summer in the 777 thread. They have even less leg twist now. https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/topic/12011/ih-777s-19l-19oz-left-hand-twill-selvedge-denim-slim-tapered-cut-jeans/25

@CosmoSix5 Did they stretch beyond the initial pre soak measurements?

@moskiitto Yeah, I've seen that. They're making a really nice Type 2-ish jacket out of that fabric too which is tempting. But I would prefer IH and I really like the 19L fabric

How about a run of 19L Indigo/Black?

Haha I’m relieved and disappointed at the same time

I would get this in an instant if it returned... Bummed I missed out

777 isn’t really very tapered at all. Compared to other tapered models from other brands, they are really wide in the hem. 777’s are basically 555’s with a slightly lower rise.

@aimes Sounds good! I would go for it, doing gradually hotter soaks is a good idea. I prefer a tighter fit on type 3’s personally

@aimes Yes, but it looks like it might end up a little tight. What are you wearing underneath? How do want to wear it? Open with a t-shirt? Closed with a shirt/hoodie? You can estimate the amount of expected shrinkage, see my previous posts from around the most recent restock.

I would say too big. The waist will stretch back out again after shrinking.

@VegaS10 I wouldn’t wanna gamble, it’s easy enough to do. Better safe than sorry. Unless you like marbling of course.

Also, soaking for a while before washing will prevent marbling.

I really like the fit of these with the slimmer silhouette. Does anybody happen to have a measurements table still?

These look great!

@worn2fade No problem! Going by these pictures I would size down at least one size, maybe even two depending on desired fit.

Edit: Two sizes down may be too much on a second thought. Did you post measurements of this jacket?

@worn2fade Don’t go by your shirt measurements when choosing a jacket, they are completely different. My type 3’s are all much smaller in the chest, waist and opening than my westerns or work shirts but it is still no problem to wear the jackets over my shirts. If you match your jacket measurements to your shirt measurements, you will probably get a very loose fitting jacket.
Also, this latest batch seemed to run a little big. I sized down from my usual L to a M.

These are estimates for shrinkage in percent, I think it’s fairly accurate.

Heres my own jacket pre/post wash.

Nice, thank you! I hadn't found that. Very interesting!
The N1's are lined though, I'm a bit worried the wax would get all messy on the inside of the jacket since this one is unlined. Does anyone know if the wax would penetrate through, potentially rubbing on to other clothing?
