Posted in the WTB thread with the IHSH-265-PUR. Got a reply from @Richardson-k. He immediately wanted to move the conversation into email, but I requested we stay on the forum. Then, when I requested product pictures, he sent 2 photos. One was a work shirt version of the flannel and one was a western . I called him out for the obvious scam attempt but no response

@AdamJ:

Not in my rotation currently (have been sat next to my desk all year) but the sun shining made these catch my eye!

How did you get these to fade so beautifully? Lots of washes?

@Paul9221:

Agreed that it's hard to tell with that lighting. Depends on how tight you like your jeans, too.  My are-the-knees-too-tight test involves riding a bike.  If you can ride a bike in them, they're not too tight.

I will have to try that bike test tomorrow. I can squat comfortably in them and have full range of motion. I only wore them for a few hours after pics were taken, but they seem a bit more relaxed. I will try to upload more in better lighting

@Anesthetist:

Kind of hard to tell, the pics are a little dark on my phone. Did you got TTS or size down? From what I can see they look good but the thigh does look snug.

I’m a 30 W in other pants. I ended up going with a 29 W because the actual waist size is about 29.8 inches and I didn’t want them being too loose in the waist after breaking in. The 30 W has an actual waist measurement of 31.1 so I didn’t want to jump up 1.3 inches in the waist going from 29-30. After wearing them all afternoon they’ve started breaking in a bit and are easier to button and a little looser in the waist, haven’t noticed a significant difference in the thigh yet. The taper is perfect from the knee down for me, and the waist is perfect as well

I recently picked up my first pair of IH denim, the 21 oz 555 in indigo OD, & needed a fit check. The waist is perfect, tight but not uncomfortable. I couldn’t button them at first but they button now. From the knee down fits great too. But the thigh-knee area looks a little tight to me. I’m wondering if I should stick with these and wait for the thighs and everything else to stretch with wear. I could also size up or get the 777. If I sized up they might be too roomy in the top block though

Hi y’all I just got my first pair of IH denim and I need a fit check. I think the thigh to knee area is a little too tight but the waist and from the knees down fit well. I’m not sure if the thighs will stretch enough to a less extreme look with wear. Should I size up to a 30 W or get the 777 in 29 W? I think if I sized up in the waist it might be too roomy in the top block once the waist stretches with wear. The 777 seems like it might the solution to my problem, but after comparing measurements between the two cuts the thigh is the same and the knee is only .4 inches bigger/wider on the 777.
