IH-777-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo
-
I'm still debating whether to go for these or not. I was a bit thrown off by the larger leg opening and rise on the new run. Both AJ and Graham has been of great help measuring and giving me advice, but I thought I'd check with the masses as well.
I'm not sure whether sizing up to a 30 is necessary, or if I could get away with my normal size 29. I know these are a bit more stubborn and won't stretch as much as 21 oz (never tried XHS). My sweet spot for fully stretched jeans is about 30-30.5".
777S-21 have perfect measurements, but I really wanna try the XHS haha..

Hi here mi thoughts. I own both 777xhs and 555 xhs, I think the new measures of 777 give more room but the waist is more or less the same.
Personally a wear more the 777xhs and thinking about to buy a new pair but with these measurements now I prefer 555 xhs.
My 777 xhs is from the previous measurements size 34 (35.5 inchs waist) at the first try was a little bit tight but stretch enough and now are super comfortable. and fit really well
My regular size is around 36 inch and buy around that size depend on the stretch. ideal 36,5 inch but my waist is 37.5 inch
If I remember correctly I posted some pics of the fit in this forum.

Here’s a few updated pics. I love 25oz so much. Can’t wait for the black 25oz SBG

Very nice evolution there @kkibbey23. I haven't start wearing mine, still do the 666 XHS rotation atm, would probably start wearing this sweet madness in November/December. First try on is very nice, all measurement just as I wanted (forgot to take a pic).

First post.
25oz acquired after a number of pairs of 18oz jeans.
These look fantastic and will give me some hard breaking in work to do during hopefully the end of lockdown and also before Summer temps.
Strangely whilst they’re thick & sturdy they’re not quite as scary in the flesh as I was worried they may be before purchase. Maybe I will change my mind in the coming weeks
Big shout to Team Ironheart UK for all the help on sizing. Much appreciated.

Had to wash these at 40 to get 1 inch shrink..
30 didn’t do much!
Perfect now

They weren't tight at all when I first tried them on otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered to soak / wash.
Having worn them for a day they’re a lot easier to wear than I expected. Think I could have got away with sizing down as the top block feels a little looser than I like although I’m thinking they will fall better once they've have broken in - the stiffness is maybe accentuating this.
The denim is super nice though - fantastic jeans. Pocket lining is a nice touch.

Easter fit pics on Day 2 with a bit of cheeky man boob thrown in. Need to leave off the lockdown beers

The waist feels comfy / right now I think, so I know I could have definitely gone a half size down. There is a little bit of bagginess in the top block which I would prefer not to have.
I took my measures from some old PBJs but I think they have a low density weave which stretches like mad so I probably should have accounted for that. Oddly the 250z denim is a hell of a lot more comfy than some of my other 18oz jeans which I’m surprised at.
I did get them hemmed to my usual length - I like quite a short cuff so there is still room for manoeuvre.
Thanks for the positive responses! It’s lovely & sunny here and beer o’clock has finally arrived

This denim has piqued my interest since discovering IH, but reading how hot and heavy they are was definitely not a piece of clothing practical to my climate. That was the same thing I thought about UHF’s, but they’ve been pretty handy at times. So since everything is in such disarray nowadays anyways the most sensible thing to do was buy a pair! Makes sense, yeah?
Got these a few weeks ago but just took measurements and sent them off to Indigo Proof for a full leg taper. Just got them back the other day, took some pics, & hot washed them to get any shrink out.

I can honestly say that out of all the IH denim I own the fit on these after a taper & hot wash is absolutely perfect.
At the start of the stay-at-home order I started reading (mostly laughing) thru the 666 XHS thread and the fact that my size was in stock made me pull the trigger. It also helped with the handling and initial try on of these bad boys as nothing about the heavy, cardboard-like feel and buttoning experience was a surprise. Can’t wait to see how these do in the field, as of now they’re my evening dog walking denim.

Well done Rox. They look predictably brilliant and are made of the greatest denim on earth.

Hell of a difference in the before and after shots. They look fantastic.
