good one @sabergirl and @Kasi
Maybe the new "stretch" denim would work…but I dont think so -
Hi folks,
Might need a bit of assistance on sizing - Initially ordered tag size W34 after incorrectly measuring my other pair of selvedge denim. W34 was far too small, my correct measurements put me at or around a 36.8" waist - Am 6'7" 205lbs.
Do you think a tag size W36 would end up being too large? Would the waist stretch an inch even if the fit isn't perfectly snug?
All the best,
Sam -
@bromp have them measure a size 36 for you and see what you get. The waist will easily stretch 1 inch and these are one washed so they will not shrink. Assuming that the pair is close to the posted size in the chart, 37.2" it is reasonable to believe that they could stretch one inch.
It could be that you might want to consider a different cut with a smaller waist. Like the 777 21 oz has a smaller waist.
Edit: like they have a waist 35 in that cut. I realize that picture isn't helpful now. But you can check for yourself https://www.ironheartamerica.com/bottoms/ih-777s-21.html

@Filthy Thank you for the thorough response!
I think you might be right, the 666s cut won't work for me and the last thing I want is too much slop in the waist. I think I'm going to shoot for the W36 in 634s-21.
All the best,

Good choice Spencer! Both of them
The 666s-21 had the first watercontact last Sunday after 6 months by wearing 4 times a week in rotation in easy office work. The cut and weight is good, also with the Red Wings MocToe.
The 777-142 has 10 wears. It will be my way in summer, not of the breathability, the 21 oz works.
But i prefer lighter, floating, peaceful denim to chinos to shorts over 20 degrees C.
The 777 is my favorite because of the lower rise, more space for my thighs and with all my sneakers.
The Blue of 142 is amazing and the cut feels perfectly out of the bag. Just now i hope the 777 will never be dirty.

Looking sharp af, @Bensdad96. Cool to see the evo on those suckers.

I got my 666's today. Fit is real good, but the waist is a bit tighter than expected (ordered a 32). Took about 30mins of wearing and trying to button the top button until I finally got it closed. The jeans fit well just about everywhere, but are a bit more snug in the top block, waist than I expected. I'm sure they'll open up, so I am good.
I definitely think the 14oz, either 777 or 666's will be my next pair since they probably will wear slightly more comfortable here in L.A. in the summer. That being said, this is the "heaviest" weight denim I have ever owned and I am pleasantly surprised how light they wear for being 21oz.

The 14oz is woven quite a bit more tightly than the 21oz, so you might find them to be a bit warmer than you expect. I love the 142 denim, but the now-extinct 16oz Vintage denim is my go-to for the hottest days of summer. It has a looser weave that breathes a lot better than the 142 denim. The upcoming slubby 16oz denim might be a great warm-weather option, it appears to have a looser weave.
