IH-777S-21 - Super-Slim Tapered 21oz Indigo Selvedge Jean - VERSION 1
-
Call me crazy but I like the measurements where they are now, at least in my size range (normally 33, but I'd take a 34 in these). When I look at measurements for the 555 and 666 in these sizes, they don't seem all that similar to me. As for the rise, I wouldn't lower it by more than 1 cm. The thigh, knee, and hem measurements seem perfect as is. If you increase the thigh measurement and decrease the hem measurement, that's when it starts looking like the 555 IMHO.
Here we go with the "ask a hundred assholes, get 101 opinions" conundrum.
-
It's been a while since you had to use that, G!..
I agree with xtc though: love the measurements on this pair, but completely understand the need for a substantial difference with eg. the 555 series…
I think this is a good way to reach a whole new spectrum of potential customers... On a private forum I attend, many people said these would be their first pair of IHs...
And cause I'm not some selfish snob, I can only say the more people wear IH, the merrier...
-
Throwing 2 cents into the well. Wouldn't mind a rise of 9.5 in a size 32 on this fit. Everything else is pretty great. I can understand the votes for bigger thighs but I like the current measurements; I'd just increase the knee 1/2cm.
Anyway, that IH has an active dialogue with it's customers about its product is one of several things that will keep me coming back. You know what you're doing Giles, cheers!
-
Can't wait to see the next batch and fit, well and other denim too
Everyone wants their perfect fit, but it is trying to find that perfect in between for everyone. I think all looks good fit wise, just a little smaller hem. 8-8.25" hem with a 37.5" or so waist=glorious!
So how long till we see a nice unsanforized, or possibly even a loomstate 777?
Keep up the good work.

Will this cut ever come out in the Super black? This is the exact cut ive been looking for from IH. I had the 301 in indigo and missed them in black and have been waiting for something else to come out ever since! Either way these look great.
-
Adding my vote in favour of a (not exaggeratedly) lowered rise.
-
Sounds good. I will be waiting for a 25oz, raw/unsanforized indigo/indigo or indigo/black denim in the next year or two
I will be your first customer if they come around.
But can't wait to see what you guys come up with the next year or so with the 777
-
Raw 18oz with a slightly tweaked fit and I'm sold. First pair of IH jeans, and I've been lurking around since 2009. What's wrong with me haha..?
Wooot? Knowing about IH for a couple of years and finally bought my first pair last year. After having an IH-jeans every other denim becomes suddenly inferior. If you're looking for the best, this can only be IH and that's why we're here.
-
I think you summed it up well!
-
Giles, could i ask how the top block fits in comparison to the 666s?
-
Will do…standby.
-
Thanks @Winchy . I find the top block of the my 666's almost "Boxy" (in a good way) and just wondered if there was any difference in this area between the two, you've answered my question.
Many thanks for your help -
@Winchy, would this comparison not be complicated by the fact that the 666S is unsanforized?
-
Indeed yes, as those are the pre-soak measurements for the 666S.
