IH-777-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo

[Giles]

@superfuzz:

Is Self Edge getting these? I'd like to try a pair on before taking the plunge.

Nope….

[superfuzz]

Ok! Thanks for the quick response. Might bite the bullet anyway if I have the funds.

2 very minor questions:

1. Are the back pockets lined on this model? I guess they're not, as the fabric's already very heavy as it is.

2. Does this model have the selvedge fly construction detail?

Thanks 

[Giles]

Yes and yes….

We'll update the description now and add some more photos later....

Checked my 301S and so it is, Giles, you were right. 301S (size 36) are about 38.5 (worn about three times). Inseam is 8.1 and FR/RR 10.8/14.6.

What size would you recommend? I prefer as slim as possible. It seems 38 is about right with stretch.

I'm going to suggest a tag W36 as long as you can manage the thigh. See if IHUK can find you a pair around 37". My first IH were 301s W36 and they ended up at 39" with a 13.5" thigh. The XHS is hard work and takes longer to stretch but it is worth it.

[Giles]

Tricky…..the 38 is already at 38.5, I think they'll stretch to more than 38.5.  Do you want @Winchy  to look for a small tag size 38, or perhaps even a large tagsize 36?

Depends how much they'll stretch? basically I'd prefer larger tagsize 36 because of the smaller inseam and if they stretch to about 38.5 that would be perfect.

I measured my 301s and at 36 these are 38.5 unused, so I would expect them to stretch much larger the 39"

After 8 wears the 301s 21oz will already have stretched some. Mine went from 37" on day one to 39" after a few weeks. Getting two inches from the 25oz is a much to ask but some claim it's doable. My 666-xhs have stretched a little over an inch after 60 wears. It's hard work, but worth it.

I agree that a big pair of W36 will be best if IHUK can find you a pair.

[W1N]

If the IH-777-XHS 36 is listed at 36.5, what could be a large tag size 36?

[neph93]

Giles can answer better than I, and you never know until you ask, but the site measurements are an aggregate of all the pairs they have. So a 37" pair wouldn't be strange if 36.5" is the average. An inch and a half stretch is do-able. You probably already have, but check the thigh measurements too. That's always the deal-breaker for me. Also read the other XHS threads for loads more info on how the denim behaves.

At the end of the day, the crew at IHUK are unbelievable when it comes to service so email them precisely what you want and they will do their best to hook you up. Good luck!

Well said. And yes, be really care about the thigh meas. Essential with the 25oz denim. Belt can fix a bit too wide waist.

Havrnt been around the forum lately, but I definitely need these in my life.

a couple of years ago I wrote a poem about my IH 666S ODs (and a girl). It's probable that I'll write a poem about these, too.

@Giles What size would you wear personally, 33 or 34, accounting for stretch? My size is the same as yours.

[Giles]

I wouldn't, that is why there is no "Giles Wears".  I have really large calves and I can't get the 777 up my leg…...

[dudewuttheheck]

I've been wanting a pair of XHS forever, but the sizing on the 666 never worked for me. It looks like I will have to take the plunge this weekend. I think I may grab the 666D as well.

These are truly amazing. I love the cut and I love 25oz denim. I love my 555 21oz because they are thick, yet soft and fit like a glove. I love these because they make me feel like robocop. Although I do need to now do something about my muffin top (less carbs, more running).
