IH-777S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo
-
Nice looking pair of jeans there @hoppy_IPA Out of interest, when it comes to those measurements is that before the wash and after the wash?
-
Thanks, Neph. And you are correct - before is with several wears & after is from cold wash + line dry.
-
Nice heads up to know that the waist can shrink up to 1.6". Thanks @hoppy_IPA for the update!
Just got these in the mail today and have to say its so soft and smooth to the touch, feels so lightweight compared to the other jeans i own! (sda 107 15oz, momotaro 15.7oz, pbj 18oz)
First pair of IH and quite amazed how comfortable it is from the get go.
-
@reddieodin congrats on your first pair of IH !!! Great choice on the 14oz it’s such a great denim
@hoppy_IPA your denim is looking awesome. Quite surprised at the shrinkage you got on your pair. & another shot where your dog is eyeing out the IH? Don’t hold back on him dogs deserve IH too
-
Thanks, Rox! That shrink surprised me too. Ive hot washed/machine dried & it's very close both ways. I guess its true how much difference agitation makes. Thankfully this stuff is a breeze to stretch back out. And don't tempt me to post more dog pics lol

The 142 denim continues to amaze me - I love clean and “put together” it is from afar (easily worn in office settings
- yes up close is just pops with vibrant blues [emoji170]

@Appfaff I agree. Seems to me to be a slow-but-steady fader (at least so far).
-
Slow is true, but it’s been nice getting to enjoy the deep blue coloring longer than usual!

I wish I found it a breeze…. The top block has been incredibly tight since a six month wash. Room in the waistband, but everywhere else tight. Am persevering and trying not to think about the 555 21.

I do agree about the fades. Lovely electric blues. Which is largely why I’m persevering. Lol.

My experience is that most sanforised denim
goes back to initial measurements with a proper wash. If it has been stretched out it is easy to get moving again.I always get nervous pulling on my IH-888s-od after a wash. They are the smallest measuring jeans I have and I sized way down. They are super tight for the first hour but by the end of the day the waist has given out at least 1.5”.
-
Waistband really stretched out. I guess washing softens up the denim elsewhere over time too, right? My 555-03 are like a dream, but these 777-14 less so now, but the sizing is pretty much the same. It’s probably cut for me. I love the look though.

They look great, @Appfaff. Nice length. Have to wash my pair for the second time in twelve months now. Starting to smell…..... Yikes. Hoping they won’t be such a challenge to re stretch out this time.

Hi Guys, I found a great fit with the 555-01 in size 29. I was now looking for something close to that in the top block but with a slightly wider knee and a lower back rise, this 777-142 could be the answer. Should I get the same size? How much are these going to strecth with wear? How different is actually the topblock compared to the 21 oz 555?
-
I can technically wear a smaller size in the 777-142 than in a 555 cut
Due to the knee being larger and thighs a little roomier, but make sure the waist isn’t too small if you slide down the chart.The 142 denim DOES stretch, but not as fast as the 21oz and not quite as much.
The top blocks are completely Different - the 555 is straight up with a slightly flared waist (which is super comfy) and the 777 has some curve to it - which I think makes it a bit more comfortable of a cut.
Hope that helps!
