@den213:

Looking great!

Thanks, I was really nervous about starting to wear these jeans after everything I had read about this denim!
They are softening up a little bit each hour of wear.
Really really love them!

Just got my IH-777-XHS on Friday and have been loving them. Thanks to Matt and Giles for helping me find a 32 with 32" waist and 11.7" thigh. Best fitting jeans I own. Been getting lots of admiring looks and my girlfriend loves these the best. The denim in my closet: Unbranded UB221 (30), Unbranded UB221 (30), Naked and Famous Elephant 4 (30), Naked and Famous Elephant 3 (30), Levi's 514 Japanese Selvedge (30), and APC New Standards (30) and I am 5'10", 150lbs in case anyone, like me, needs some reference points from other brands compared to the 777.

Looks hot Vsin where you are, how are you coping in the heat? Great fit!

Luckily, where I took the photo (San Jose, CA) is not here I spend most of my time (San Francisco/Oakland Bay Area). Heat definitely caused some sweating but overall it's been really nice. The fabric is getting nice and soft. And thanks! You too. Can't wait to see the progression.

Thanks for the pics. If these are still around in my size once my DWC UHRs die I will definitely get a pair!

[BloodnThunder]

If anyone is wondering Sam is still wearing the pair from the fit photos.  Can't get them off.

I wish these had bigger thighs dammit! If the 38's had the sz40 thigh,knee and hem–they would be freakin awesome!

I hope these will remain extant until I can afford them…. These are what I've always wanted. I couldn't believe it when I saw the Iron Heart email today. I don't want to get a new pair yet until my overalls are Fade Friday worthy either. Unless you decide to make a run of 25 oz overalls.

Rats.  I hate to be that guy, but…I think the size 28 would be perfect in pretty much every way except the waist.  28 tag is the only one with skinny enough thighs...but then again, that would depend on how much these would stretch.

Any chance you have a pair of 28s with a waist in the 29-29.5 inch range?  If so, PM me...I may be interested to find out what it's like to bleed indigo from the knees.

EDIT: FWIW, I'd need them to stretch out to 30-30.5 in the waist for an ideal fit.

Hello sorry it's not the hello thread. My real name is Dan I'm 43 years old and I'm a bomber or industrial radiographer we use gamma sources to X-ray pipes so that's where gammaman comes from.
I got into selvedge about three years ago when I brought a pair of lee 101z which I wore for about 12 months.Then I went balls deep and purchased a pair of 666 xhs and wore for 1 year but they are 2 years old.
These new 777 xhs I down sized by 1.5 inches the same as the Devils and I'm loving them. The top box in 666 was so tight to begin with but these have more room but less room behind the back of the knees my tendons are sore.
I love Iron Heart. I mixed up the old with the new for you.
