Here's what I think about the IRON HEART 777XHS 25oz. Extra Heavy Selvedge jeans. I thought that I was impressed with the 666s but this one is on another level.
Iron Heart 777XHS 25 oz. Extra Heavy Selvedge:
- Made in Japan
- Slim straight cut
- Low/Medium rise
- 25oz rope dyed indigo warp, natural weft Japanese selvedge denim
- Lined rear pockets
- Button fly and hidden rivets
- Belt loops sewn into waistband
- Poly/cotton constructional stitching
- Selvedge side seams and fly construction
- Sanforized and no wash - expected to shrink one inch in waist and length
- The waist will stretch back out approximately one inch with wear
- Other dimensions will stretch proportionately to the waist

I always size up one with heavier denim, in the realms of 14-16 oz I go true to size, but when I dabble in 18-25 oz I size up one, just for comfort and that has worked for me :)
Best regards from Sweden!
I find that works for me too! Thanks!
Aloha from Hawaii!
Old video, but we're still here in 2024! Thanks for the inspiration, you and Mark Spencer!
Rock on... thanks a ton!
You’re an inspiration. Thank you.
Thank you!
Love your videos. The whole deal you're doing is good to chill with. Thank you. I'm working my way up to ironhearts. Just got my first pair of heavyweight from brave star. Amazing jeans. Working my way up to the ironhearts. Thank you for this one.
Hey thanks and I’m glad you’re picking up on the vibes. Congrats on your adventures with BS. I did the same exact thing and started with BS because of their prices. I am still a huge BS fan because they are truly an authentic Heritage source with their Cone Mills Selvedge as well as Japanese Selvedge.
I can't wait to see more vids about this pair of denim! Interested to hear your thoughts about the changes after the initial soak and the break-in process in general. I have the 633S in 21oz and 777 in 14oz but am considering sizing up my 777. Keep up the great work!
Hey thanks! I'm glad the experiences I'm sharing on my channel regarding selvedge is worth it. There's not a lot of channels that share their realistic (sometimes comical) experiences so I thought I would do one. More to come...
I didn't realize that I was going down the heritage style road until I came across your videos so thanks for clarifying it for me I've had to adapt to the Montana winters and it's been a fun ride!
Cold weather is great for showing off the rugged heritage style! Very nice!
I bought my 666s's true to size. I briefly considered going a size down as you did, but I had a bad feeling that the initial break in would be miserable. So hearing your experience with sizing down is very interesting. I love the jeans and enjoy wearing them. Thanks for the content!
My friends swear by sizing down but I feel like that's not for me anymore. My 666s was a size down and I've had about 50-60 wears out of it and it has not gotten any easier. I'll be soaking it soon and also taking you all on that adventure. I'm planning to wear it damp which will be interesting indeed!
Yo Chris! Great jeans and another great video. Thanks for the shout out Brother. I am honored. Iron Heart really is a special company, and make jeans that are peerless. Those 25oz 777's look great on you and should last you a lifetime. Enjoy breaking them in, and Happy Holidays to you, your family and your denim head fans!
Aloha Mark! The pleasure is mine brother and keep on keeping! Heritage clothing is you all the way.
Happy Holidays to you as well!
My daughter (2years) sat beside me while I was watching this and said Santa Claus. LoL. Miss your updates on the denim
Been watching you since the OG Bravestar heavyweight review, back then I was just getting into style, keep it up man. I am finally making the jump to Japanese denim and I’m doing it big, 25oz 888 from Iron Heart.
I have the same pair--they are just amazing just getting them broken in after a few months now! Enjoy!
Hey thanks!
I’m ordering those. I’ve been wanting them for a while now. And this is my second time watching your video, lol. Right before I order. Ha! I own a few well made pieces that aren’t cheap. I like well made stuff with a story behind it. Boots as well. I like to investigate a little before making a big purchase. Buy once, cry once. Lol. I used to only want American made but there are products around the world made with pride, and amazing attention to detail and craftsmanship. ❤
I love your mentality! Definitely buy once, cry once haha… quality made goods last a lifetime. I wish my priorities were different when I was younger and invested on quality goods. But hey, never too late!
great style advice for men of all ages!
Hey thanks man! 🤙
Thanks for the video! Check out the iron heart 888 cut. A little extra room in the top block but still trim looking. Good for those of us that see the gym a bit. Very comfortable. I’ve got them in the 16oz slubby. Really nice! Love the videos!
I’ll definitely check that out! Hey thanks! 🤙
Love watching your videos brother. You just have such a realness to you that I flow with. I’m a biker, veteran, and work out as well, so it’s probably why I connect with you and your videos haha. I’ve been into heritage style for the last 3 months and I’m never looking back. Next step is getting some iron heart denim and your videos have helped. Still gotta figure out which cut to get but I’m getting closer haha. Which island are you on? I miss Hawaii so much, haven’t been in a couple years but planning a trip within the next year.
Thank you brother! I'm glad that you get my flow (not surprising since you and I have many similarities haha). I love connecting with other vets out there since most of us are almost always sticking to our own thing after leaving the military. Most are leaders as well and naturally follow very few mainstream trends. I got into heritage style myself in my mid-forties after totally rebelling on skinny jeans haha. I'm a rocker but no skinnies for me!
As far as the cut of IH that I have purchased, they are the regular straight cut like the old 501s. Hope that helps and be patient with the process of breaking it in haha. I'm in Oahu (Haleiwa Town). I love all the islands and the country side of Oahu. It's peaceful here and I often go out an hike at the mountains to rest my mind and explore. Take care Quinn!
You look great for your age brotha! thanks for the video!
Thanks Sammy!
Have the same, IH 777-XHS 25, such pleasure, after one week. I have ordered a Soso 33oz, sure it will become my best jean, after a few months😂
I think after buying my first selvedge denim... I just slipped into the rabbit hole without realizing it! #denimhead
😂 #denimhead
Oh rest assured, you did. I made the same decision about 2 years ago, and 4 pair of IH, 1 Momotaro, 2 Brave Star, and every pair of Red Wing you can think of later….
I don’t regret it. 🙂
Great video man! thanks for sharing some great info. What brand is that white t-shirt?
Hey thanks! I actually bought that T-shirt from Savers. The brand has worn off already. I like it because it is loose and comfortable! I also like wearing old fruit of the loom shirts.
You're my distant soul brother. Every video you release is either a couple months before or after me from getting the exact same jeans, boots. That means you'll be getting an Iron Heart UHF flannel or Iron Heart's own M65 jacket pretty damn soon. Hah. Greetings from Sweden
My man! Thanks brother and I’m glad we are connecting from afar! 🤙
I've been watching your videos, trying to decide on what Iron Hearts to get. I went ahead and sized down on a pair of 777's. Im going to try to grind through the break in. They fit pretty snug but I do plan on losing some weight. I am the heaviest I have ever been. So just for my own health, I need to lose some weight. I just hope they stretch a bit. Online it says it'll stretch up to an inch respectfully. So not only will I put the pair to that test ,but also testing my patience. Hopefully it'll be worth the discomfort.
Nice! I’ve lost weight myself and my IH are loosening up a bit. The 777 and 666 are medium rise in case you are into high rise jeans. I’m getting a 888 next to see how high rise fits me. I naturally wear my jeans low anyway but I am willing to see how high rise fits me. Enjoy your adventures with IH. Love their products, just being tight on funds so I’ve slowed down a bit. Mahalo!
You bring order and clarity to the complicated subject of selvedge jeans. Thanks. By the way, 50 is hardly old. It looks like you are in pretty decent shape, but your current age is no excuse for not keeping up on the workouts. Wait until you are in your 70's for that my man.
Hey thanks and I'm glad I'm able to explain what's on my mind. There's so much to learn yet...
Haha, you know how it goes. 50 yo is a big deal. 70 will come and I hope I'm blessed to stay that long...
Have you seen any stretch on these after wash and wear from when you first received yhem?
Hi, unfortunately I haven’t worn this that much. I find I only wear pants when riding and working in the garage. Hopefully after the project I’m working on that I get to ride more. It’s definitely looser now that I’ve lost 10-15 lbs haha!!
Thought about you recently when I saw Mauna Loa volcano recently erupting. Hope you’re ok. About the Iron Heart denim, do they fade with repeated washings?
Hello Kevin and thank you for thinking of me. We are okay here in Oahu but of course there's always that chance of a tsunami or earth quake. For now, we are just normal.
Yes, the natural weft and blue indigo are designed for a quick fade. The heavier the selvedge, the faster it fades. Although, I'm still waiting for my BraveStar to give in.
How is it going brother, thanks for the video, men I’m so close to spend some money to have Iron Heart. Why don’t try some Levi’s, LVC series ?
Love my Levi 501 and have a few of them (not LVC). I will definitely try those when the opportunity comes.
G'day mate absolutely love videos there bad ass I'm just getting into the selvedge game and I no you bought size 34s in the 777s but are you a true 34 in other jeans or just for this cut I'm looking at a pair of 777s in the 18oz and I'm a 34 in other jeans do I size up or down because the detentions are the same as yours thanks for the good stuff man keep it up bra I'm 53 and I hear ya !
Hey brother thanks! I’m truly a size 34 on Levis. 32 is too tight and 36 too big. You really have to know that because the materials used on selvedge jeans vary. There’s also sanforized, unsanforized, prewashed, one wash, preshrunk, and shrink to fit to consider. It’s easy to screw it up for sure. When it comes to the 777 18oz, it is sanforized and one washed. According to IH, there should not be any shrinking expected and it will loosen up to an inch with wear. I personally would buy size 34 if I’m purchasing that one. Hope this helps!
@@StylishGreaseMonkey thanks mate really helpful
Great video about heritage style. I'm a big fan of Iron Heart denim, though a bit pricey, they are worth it. I won a few pairs of them. By the way, why did you go for the 777 cut? I'm a 666 guy and recently started to like their 634 cut, but the 777's are kind of low rise and I cannot fit them in.
Hey thanks! I went to the 777 for no particular reason really. I like a lot of IH styles including other products like their flannel shirts and such. I’m not a rich guy so I purchase IH whenever the funds are available. I’ll probably try the 888s or 634s in the future we will see. I like the way both fit but you mentioned that the 777 fits low on your waist. I feel that on both of them.
@@StylishGreaseMonkey Keep doing these videos. They are a pleasure to watch. Looking at your physique, I guess the 634 or the 888 might be a great fit on you. Probably make some videos of how you care for these denim? I just hot soak them once in a while and I'm scared of throwing them in the washing machine.
@@joesan3597 another one coming up soon. Thanks so much for your support!
same size with me sir...👍💪from kuala lumpur...
Awesome brother! Mahalo! 🤙
I always order the 34. I really do think I could maybe Stretch out a 33 waist but 34 makes it easy for me to break in the IH denim. I trained hard this year. Ya it’s gets harder in some way to get lean after 50. Bro I picked up one of those weighted plate carriers and just wear that when I do my walks on treadmill or early morn beach walks. The pounds just melt off.
Hey I do the same with IH now! My 33 666s is still breaking in. Funny you mentioned the weighted vest because I started doing the same thing a few weeks ago. I cleaned up my diet too and I’m down 15 lbs.! Maybe another 10 lbs and my abs will show better. Dang aging sucks haha!!
I always order my size, never go smaller. Just to uncomfortable, ps of similar age( also lift) but as you say...fighting the extra pounds these days is getting harder. Only have 1 pair of Iron Hearts, the 888 SLB 16oz. My others are Samurai and Momotaro.
I learn as I go along and of course these things are freakin' expensive. Yeah, for like 20 years I hovered at 185-195 and all I had to do was skip breakfast and there goes 10. Now, I eat less and workout more and have been at 205-208 for years.
Your collection is solid. I have yet to get a Momotaro but soon I'm sure. Maybe the 888 next haha...
Hi @stylishgreasemonkey what is your thigh and waist measurements if you dont mind me asking? I'm looking at a pair of these and want to compare. You are close to my size.
Thank you!
Hi, sorry for the late reply. My waist is a true 34 and have decent thigh size but not too big. I weigh about 200 lbs right now (between 195 - 200 depending on the time of the day).
Aren’t they hard to wear in warm weather?
They feel okay while riding. I have a 14.5 oz I wear for when the heat gets super unbearable.
@@StylishGreaseMonkeygood idea. I only have a pair of 25oz ib 666 😅
There’s no way I’m wearing them in summer not even now that it’s getting warmer
what’s your waist size?
I’m a true 34. A little loose these days haha..
I'm eyeballing the 555
Nice!
If I lived in Hawaii I would never ever wear jeans, just shorts. I live in Canada, nuff said.
That’s my life Kevin. Shorts and shirts all day with slippas! I sometimes ride my Harley just like that but then it’s also highly advisable I wear pants. 😃
Too much price
I agree, however it is something I really wanted to have on my closet and in my opinion worth every penny just like the 666s.
