IH-777N - 17oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Natural Indigo

Update

@mclaincausey that is the fit I’d look for with the 777 cut: a bit of looseness on the thighs (similar to a 633). Don’t enjoy snug thigh fits and I have skinny thighs…never did a leg day in a gym. Mind you, I’ve yet to try a 777, so please bear with my questions.
So, how do you manage this? I’m guessing you pick a slightly larger tag (waist) size than you would on other cuts (say a 888 or a 634), and accept you need a belt to keep them from slipping?
Thank you for any insight

@RoxRocks86 excellent! those look well loved

Rox with the best looking cuffs in the game.

@motojobobo man I am so so sorry for having missed this. I was not ignoring you.

I think it’s just a good cut for me, or maybe a good instance of the cut, as I sized TTS. My IH journey has gone from 634 to 666 to 777. One thing that I especially love about these is that there is ample room to use the front pockets. Despite the tape reinforcement, I tend to wear out IH pockets in the past and that’s not an issue with these. These may be slim by IH standards but they’re plenty roomy for me and have resulted in my leaving some Strike Gold LHT that is a great denim hanging in the closet.

@RoxRocks86 your jeans are among my favorites on here right now.

Here are mine today:

Also not sure how Rox gets that stack of nickels. Mine are cool but not on that level:

@RoxRocks86 @mclaincausey -- great examples of how good this 17oz denim can become over time.
Just , dang

[mclaincausey]

Cheer @dinobarnesberlin ; Rox and I were discussing how much we love the denim but also how damn hard it is to fade. A lot of jeans lore is bullshit but the resistance of natural indigo to crocking and fading is well supported by these jeans.

I'm wearing my new pair for the first time today. Thighs are a little tight, and the waist is probably half an inch snug. Guess my bicycling legs are bigger than I thought. I'll see how they feel after a few days.

@mclaincausey @RoxRocks86 you guys just made me buy a pair of these. I have the 777 21oz OD and XHSib and think this will be a good lighter alternative for summer or when I don't want that all black look for a day (pairing with a lefty OD and sbg most days so like to add some contrast)

[mclaincausey]

Nice! I think you’ll love them.

Here is the most recent pic of mine:

@mclaincausey they look nice!

[RoxRocks86]

Way to go @FlavourFade hope you enjoy the journey in your N’s!

[Boit]

Haven’t worn these in a few years…trying to decide whether worth it to salvage and continue or just retire?

[GraemeE]

@Boit these look amazing - too good to retire

[Boit]

They’ll need some work($$). The pocket bags are falling apart and underside is barely holding it together with my makeshift diy patches.

[mclaincausey]

Wash enhanced the contrast a bit more.
