@alexswords:

@Lowlander So last year i hot soaked early, and soaked again twice more along the way… This year i've decided to keep them dry for as long as i can to allow the denim to create as much character as possible.

awesome man - Excited to see what difference it makes!

Ok, just got done with an 8 day, 80 hour work week  ?? and I wore my freshly washed 777s the whole time. Here’s what they look like

[Kasi]

Is it time to wash…  @Smiladon

Or get mucky more..

@alexswords

Nice fit… I am tempted buy the 777 for that fit, but the problem I will have will change after a soak or wash
It become a different fit in being tighter that the experience I had with my 25oz 777 XHS.  ???
Annoy me.

Maybe I size up problem solve.

[Smiladon]

@Kasi Well, i just washed them 10 days ago, so I'll probably let them go for a month or so

@alexswords I've come to the conclusion that its not the jeans, it's just you! It doesn't matter how they fit, they always look great on you   Am I kicking myself for sizing down, maybe, if I could in these jeans, but yours as always just look great

[Kasi]

You size down he size up…...

@Smiladon Giving them a good workout  looking great.

What took you so long  :D?

[Kasi]

Working out the maths why in the past the 777’s
Didn’t work for me  ???
Maybe went with a true to size mess up the fit after a wash or a soak.  ::)

Now I have size one up…

Let see how the journey rides on this one...
no harm trying again.

I'm in the process of doing exactly the same thing with a pair of 634

@Kasi I'm happy i could help sway your decision to give 777 another try! I think you will be pleasantly surprised 

@Smiladon Thank you my dude, you're too kind!  And i have to say your pair is looking great, it's obvious you've been putting in some major hours because they're definitely showing it! Also i love the no cuff stacked look you've got going  Can't wait to see what they look like after the year is up!

@hoppy_IPA thanks man! i'll keep this thread updated at least once a month.

@twin thanks for l noticing! it sure does take longer for the indigo to start shifting if you keep this denim dry but i'm excited to see the outcome, If in fact i can manage to keep them dry long enough to find out..

@neph93  "this is the way" 

@Giles The enabler of all things awesome as always 

[Kasi]

Mine Conclusion  ::)
Five years ago I got it wrong going with true to size getting it wrong.
I wouldn’t even recommend sizing down, can’t even lift the leg up.
This time I have size up by two sizes, to make these works. Big thanks to @Graham sending
a size 34 out as well. 

Don’t have to worry about a builder crack.. they high up.
Only thing I missed the pockets which are wider than the other jeans.

Still 555’s are mine signature jeans.. these will be a back up when ever I want to switch.

@Kasi fit pics of the new 777XHSib ???

@alexswords
Check it out  no builder crack….  size up to avoid

I keep coming back in here because I miss the xhsib I had in the 555. The 777 I have fit me great in the 21oz .Maybe I'll waste money again

[RoxRocks86]

Solid fit on these 777’s @Kasi sizing up has done you good!

@Denimminer think of it as a practical investment rather than “wasting money” 

[BD81]

Nice fit @Kasi

[alexswords]

@Kasi that's it! they look great, size up to 34 was the answer.
