Forum Jeans - 777 & 888 in 22oz Indigo/Beige Denim
-
i'm not surprised at all since i've seen the trend switch from slim to taper at a time when everyone with slim jeans pinroll their cuffs. to me, it looks like s**t.
Different strokes for different folks. I dislike a really strong taper on denim. I'm talking anything below 7.5". At 5'11, 175 lbs i'm usually a 34-34.5" waist, 12.5-13" thigh, 8.5-9" knee and 7.5-8" hem in the sizing spectrum. The 777 cut, and to some degree, the 888 cut fall into these parameters which is pretty decent. I just can't and won't wear any cut of jean where the hem falls into bell bottom territory, which for me is usually 8.5"+. Of course, there are many different body shapes on the forum and IH can't please them all.
So at 5' 11" you would have to have them hemmed, and then the 7.5 - 8" hem wouldn't really be a true hem???

Jeans are great but they come with the same considerations that all pants have when deciding what to wear. I like things that are generally useful and can be carried/worn/used whenever.
Brass/leather key fob? Key hanger?
Denim bangle?
GAH made silver key tag/fob? Money clip? Carabiner? Signet ring?
Mug?Just some alcohol fueled brainstorming…

Any chances of doing this in 666 ?
-
We did not get anywhere near enough interest for either the 777 or the 888. Given that, I know we would not get enough interest for a 666.
By the way, I voted for 888, I mistook it for 666 for a min, I am wearing 666 happily and would like to stick to it in future. Please excuse and discount my 888 vote, sorry for the trouble.

i hope you don’t take the lack of interest to be for forum jean idea. i feel like the the beige weft ‘dirty denim’ is a bit of an acquired taste. for what it’s worth though i probably would have gone for them in a 666 cut. even if it’s your least popular cut it’s maybe the least partisan?
666 cut of the indigo/black would get there i bet but maybe that cabalizizes your 555/888 release (wait a while and try if there’s still enough material?)
try a vote with over dyed 25oz 666s! not sure how you’s make them forum unique though… patch would be too complicated/expensive. maybe black thread?
-
666 is still my favorite cut as well, which should be obvious by my signature. Just gotta represent.

Shame that this looks to be a non-starter. Forum jeans seem like they should be a thing. It would be a feather in the cap of the brand and the forum and an exclusive bit of kit. For this reason alone something a little different (brown weft, coloured arcs) seems appropriate (he brown weft is also glorious). Maybe some time in the future…
-
I was in because I wanted a pair of forum jeans to be made but I gotta admit brown weft didn't exactly light my fire.
I think a new denim should be bought out in a forum special jean before being released as a regular jean

I'd be in for red or green but…. probably not many others.

I don’t think colored wefts like red or green suit the IH aesthetic. Kinda gimmicky like N&F
