IH-777-SST - 21oz Shinayaka Selvedge Denim - Super Slim Tapered - Indigo

[Giles]

This is what the product page says:

• The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear

@Jimothy:

can I expect the waist to stretch about .5-1" like normal denim?

As linked by Giles, yes you can. It takes longer to get there than standard 21oz denim, but in the meantime it is a lot comfier.

Please, please, pleeeeease make these in black (with the red logo) and duckhead (my 777s are killing my thighs on the bike lanes of Copenhagen)

Well, measurements on these look pretty bang-on for me… And I’ve got this damn $50 credit just sitting there and expiring in a couple weeks... really trying to be reasonable and responsible here... 

[sabergirl]

Responsible thing is obviously to use the credit. I mean. [emoji2]

I mean, if I don’t use it it’s like throwing away a $50 bill. Right?

@Anesthetist i was so close to getting my PayPal credit account paid off. 

[xtcclassic]

Well, I guess I have stretch jeans now.

Boom. Congratulations. I put mine on today and was appreciating the lack of stretch in the knee and top block and thought of you [emoji1]

[xtcclassic]

I put the blame solidly on you, @neph93 

[neph93]

I am blessed with broad shoulders and will carry that burden I look forward to hearing your thoughts @xtcclassic and I hope they live up to any expectations I may have contributed to [emoji3526]

They look just like they should man.
What are your thoughts on them right off the start?

[xtcclassic]

@dinobarnesberlin  They definitely still have that new IH crispiness, it’s been a while since I’ve had a new pair of 21oz but these seem to be a little crispier than I remember the normal 21oz being. Could just be me misremembering. The stretch is noticeable, but not THAT noticeable. Calling them “stretch jeans” would be pushing it really, although I will continue to do so. 

Thanks @steelworker they’re a pain in my ass sometimes but I love them to death. 

[neph93]

Good stuff! Totally agree about the stretch. Just enough to make a difference.

These look pretty nice. I like the unobtrusive (learned a new word today :)) stacks. Which size did you get?
