IH-777S-21ib - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black

[Oaktavia]

They dried outside pretty quickly today. They have lightened up a lot and look and feel so clean. That shiny sheen on the thighs is gone- those who wait long enough before a wash know what I mean. Combs on the left side are much more pronounced than the right. I'm wearing them now and the combs seem to mostly be folding back in the right places to match the fade lines. I'm going to wait to post photos after they fully dry.

Do you have much experience with the 634 ib I think I prefer the 777 seems to be the winning number

I have tried 634 a couple of times but haven't figured out that cut yet. 777 is my go to cut I feel like it works with my body type. I'm 6' 3" with a long torso and short legs for my height.

Any news or idea of timings on a restock?

Feelin pretty good about how they look after a wash.

At around 80-90 wears. A hand wash and machine wash in. I sit on my ass in a chair most the day wearing them, so nothing too wild. I am surprised I don’t have as much honeycombing as others on here. My 25oz IH’s are similar.

I am pleasantly surprised how much lighter these 21oz feel than the 25oz. Great for the Texas summers. I’ll probably be switching to the 25oz soon to get more wear in.

I had these hemmed, while I leave my 25 oz cuffed.

@Danwel1 The comb's will come…a bit of heat and friction/abrasion and they will start to pop.  Go for a walk or two during the day in the Texas heat and you'll have comb's galore in no time.

@Danwel1 I find this denim to be pretty stubborn with the fading. I try to wear my pair around 10-12 hours a day which I think helps with the fades. I wore my 25ozib yesterday and have my 21ozib today and agree whole heartedly, the 21 is much more comfortable. Especially with the 777 cut!

Sitting is great for forming combs, not so great for abrasion and wear on them.

That’s where the belt sander comes in, mate

I vote to remove @mclaincausey from the forum.  Anyone second…

In all seriousness, someone once said that the best method for honeycombs was cycling in their jeans (probably in Singapore heat and humidity).

Or in lieu of removal, he will be required to wear these for a month…

any opportunity to rock jeggings…

Super bright morning sun showing the depth of the fades after the second machine wash with this pair. It is amazing how much different they look inside at nighttime. I know that's an obvious statement, but this denim proves that more than others.

Love that indigo combo
