IH-777S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo

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!

As usual @Appfaff is entirely correct. It is worth emphasising his point about the top block however. The 777 and 555 are very different in design. The way the leg tapers is a major difference, but the top blocks are the biggest one. The rise is one thing but the shape is much trimmer.
As for sizing, I'd advise you to ignore tag size and look at something with waist measurements a touch bigger than the listed measurements for your W29 555's. Sound about right @Appfaff ?
-
What's funny, is that the waist on the 555 does not correlate to the rest of the fit in the slightest.. especially not in the big 3 versions (my IGW-101D are a different story altogether), so the waist measure was big compared to the thighs and knees. However, @neph93 's point is ENTIRELY correct - because the same WAIST measure on the 777 when compared to your 555 will give you extra room in the knee, thigh, and maintain the curved top block and slightly lower rise.
Good Example:
555-03 Size 36 Measures Won't even button up for me:
Waist: 38
Back Rise: 16.5
Thigh: 13
Knee: 8.85777-142 size 36- My favorite cut and easy to wear
Waist: 37.5
Back Rise: 15.25
Thigh: 13.385
Knee: 9.25 -
Hi all - just got my first pair of IH jeans. The 777's fit great all throughout, but are pretty tight on the waist and hips. Curious if this stretches out and is just uncomfortable for the first few wears or if I should size up?
My last pair of raw jeans was in 2014 and I wore the heck out of them…..just now retiring them and forgot was new raw denim feels like.

Congrats on a great pair! Yes they stretch (a little over an inch in the waist) but it takes some time - probably a good 20 wear days.. where as I can get the 21oz to stretch 1.5-2inches in 2-3 days.

Thanks! Should they feel super tight in the waist when first breaking them in?

1.5-2 inches in the waist? I was happy with the brand new fit of the 555-01 21,oz. Its a bit tight in the waist, I can take 1 inch of strectch, but the rest is just a big snug. I dont think I shoud size down becouse the knee is pretty slim, but maybe get a different cut if these are going to strecth that much in the waist, what about the other parts?

Thigh and knee won’t stretch much at all. Maybe 0.2”. The waist going to 2” is not usual and normally happens with a very tight starting point. 1-1.5” is more normal. If yours are “a little tight” to start then you’ll be fine. That is exactly how they should be.
