@WhiskeySandwich Those look incredible! I really like the character of this denim. Thank you for the motivation to finally start wearing mine. I bought a pair when they launched last year, and just haven't found the time to break them in and/or get them in my rotation. I'm gonna live in them over the weekend to get things going.

Oh, I'm a slow pokey fader, especially in these post-COVID times -- I'll check in with some pics in a few years! LOL I'm also finally just getting into the good stuff with my 21oz pair, after... 3 years

The jeans came in, thanks! This is a really nice, classic denim. It's got just enough character about it without being too in-your-face (or scratchy/painful/etc!) Nice deep, rich indigo, and the denim already gives a sneak peek at the vertical striations of the weft showing through.

Snagged a pair, thanks!

This got me looking through the archives for examples of this denim. The 18oz Vintage 666 from 2017 has me really interested!

@neph93:

@replus if you have the chance to try the 555 on then do, but a sized up 777 sounds good. Best of luck, and let us know how u get on.

Oh, the 555's knee measurement would be cutting it really close for comfort! Otherwise, I'd totally give it a shot. Unfortunately, no local retailers. I'll think it over & get in touch w/ IH customer service once there's a restock!

@neph93:

I’d say the problem is the cut, not sizing. The rise on the 777 is the lowest of IH cuts.

Sizing up will give you a slightly higher rise, so it may work, Alternatively you could try the 555 which is both slim in the the thigh, tapered, but has a higher rise.

@Kasi:

I had that problem years ago with that 777 25oz hanging down… when they first drop

Stop wearing the 777.

When back to them, this time I size up..

Am ok with, not bother if they lose on the legs..

Thanks so much for the quick replies! I did suspect the culprit was the lower rise, but "10/14" has been all I've known for decades Unfortunately, I'm built like Hank Hill, so any time I've tried a cut even hinting at "mid-rise" or larger, has resulted in diaper butt. I'll go with a size up in the 14oz and see how they fare!

Hey y'all! I've owned a pair of 777 in the 21oz denim for the past few years, and want to pick up a pair in this 14oz denim. Just feeling a little caught between sizes, since a lot of people here are saying this 14oz denim doesn't stretch as much as the 21oz.

Only issue I have with my 21oz pair is when I sit down and stand back up (especially in the car,) they get pulled down a bit in the back. I figure it's my own fault for wearing them so slim in the top block and thigh. They fit great when I'm standing/walking, like a glove! But they are certainly worn quite slim. I don't know if I'm on the right track by considering one size larger, or if the bit of extra room everywhere will just exacerbate this problem I have. Thanks!
