Those look great! They seem similar to the 633S.

[shoreman]

^ but with a much more comfortable rise.

[JDelage]

Cool patch.

ETA on the 888?

patch alone makes it worth it

[Megatron1505]

7 - 8 weeks for the 21oz release.

888.  Higher rise. Comfortable top block.  Sight taper.   Not a lifters cut with huiiiige  thighs.   Sounds like a winner 

[marcusV2]

Picked up the 19oz lefty trucker for 250 from IH new clearance site. Can't wait til it starts cooling off in a few months (5 is "a few", right? ) so I can really start breaking it in.

When my friends at Vater & Sohn do a collab I have to have it, even though I never thought I'd buy a 777 cut jeans with such low rise. Somehow they still worked and have the most modern look of all my jeans. The regular, shiny, stiff and heavy denim is totally different from my other current denims. From the 555-03 I know that it will fade fast,so I'll try to treat the jeans kindly so the stay black as long as possible. I hope they don't shrink too much as well...so i guess that means only handwashing.

Been a while since I posted.
SExIH07s
Taking these in to get repaired somewhere random as fuck in Hong Kong. 
Self Edge refused to keep repairing them, think they must have been through their shop 4-5 times.
Sorta wish their policies stated to you at time of purchase carried forward.... grumble. anyway. 
We'll see what random HK dude can do.
I think these are 7 years old.

^IMO you should frame them, not that much to repair left. But they look awesome!

Wow, they're really hardest core broken in reflecting the full power of strong natural denim evolution at it's best. 

I hope, you can find somebody, who will repair them.

And of course they deserve to survive for ever.

Otherwise you can still give them an eternal life in the Jeansmuseum of heaviest fadings some day

[whackedout]

For those of you who know, if I bought a pair of UES 400T in a size 33 would the new IH 888 work? Looking for a similar size/fitment, if so what size should I get?

 

Edit: nvm decided not to purchase.

I wore these IHxBBXRAW for a little over a year before getting into the habit of washing at least bi-weekly.

This denim now comes sanforized correct? Would like a larger pair some day, too bad the BB cut is gone.

Not correct. They do have a new sanforized 18oz denim, but it's a totally different denim.

I think these might just be the greatest pair I have ever seen.

I thought Giles mentioned the regular 18oz undergo "light sanforization" in order to stabilize shrinkage. 

IH tends to sanforize or prewash most of their denim which kinda kills it for me.

The new DWC contest pre-order 888-NT will be raw, unsanforized UHR 21/23oz. Giles claims it will be the last run of the UHR; same threads as old/original UHR, but woven on a different loom. 

 

The 18 vintage denim is lightly sanforized for stability and take out the guess work in sizing, as you mentioned, but still has some charadteristrics of raw. Nice denim and very similar in some ways (color, texture, weave) to UHR.

I stand corrected, I had forgotten about this.

IH 777VS after soaking...the rise is really low, need to get used to that.

[tigerstrom]

I think the fit is spot on! 

[Max Power]

Thanks mate. I think a black pair of jeans should have that slim look, yet  it's not exactly comfortable in (yet) stiff 21 oz. The older I get the more I put comfort over fit - well, not this time.

[Niro]

yea the fit is really good

dunno why I was thinking the 777 cut would be looking almost like skinny jeans.

[Megatron1505]

They look great Max. The rise does take some getting used to, but the fit through the leg is spot on.

i have the 14oz OD 777's which I can't wear for work doe to fear of visible arse crack

Same with me, I like the relaxed comfortable style.

And they look great on you Flo

I can't wait to see more updates in direct sunlight to see them better
