IH-555-03 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

[Michael1984]

Thanks for the reply. I finally ordered them and am really looking forward to receiving them. I decided to go with the tag size 31 which is approximately a one inch bigger waist than my usual size. I always wear a belt with jeans so a larger waist should be fine. I take a tag 31 in the indigo version but the thighs are slightly tight so the extra room should come in handy. Went for a couple of inches extra length on the inside leg so I’ll cuff them. Re the washing I’ll probably do a cold hand wash with a mild denim detergent.

Update: received them today. A really nice fit, I’m glad I opted for the same tag size as the indigo 555-01 version.

Well, those measurements look great. Slightly larger thigh is def appreciated. Maybe I can finally wear this cut someday.

NOW LIVE WITH 'BLACK MAMBA' PATCH

Just what I have been waiting for. Only to be disappointed, I am between sizes. Needed a 37” waist.
Ah well have to keep looking.

[Graham]

@Joemac501 We'll have a look when we are back in the office in the morning to see what bigger 34's or smaller 36's we have and will drop you an email.

[Joemac501]

Great, thanks Graham.

Did tag size 26 get cut from the team?  ???

After missing out on the last couple of runs I have finally got a new pair. Currently wearing my old pair as they're so damn comfy

Will be soaking this pair in the bath as I have post-soak-stress from the SBG CPO that I f*cked up in the wash on my usually trusty settings!

Will get some comparison pics up soon

Love the new patch on these, Gonna skip and go for 25oz come on October

Picked up a pair of these. Boy they seem tough. Going to soak before wearing…....

Something about the sulphur-dying makes them a different proposition to the indigo 21oz. Tightens the weave and stiffens the fabric somehow. They’ll shrink a little when they see water but they do soften up with wear.

Thanks for that. Am a newbie, so heavy denim seems REALLY heavy, and London’s hot at the moment, so I’m not rushing to begin breaking them in. Lol. Will soak, however.

The  21oz OD is a better option for «black» denim in warm weather, in that case the overdying seems to have the opposite effect. Your SBG will be grand when the autumn comes though.

In they go! Did them pretty mild to begin with, typically it's pissing down with rain in the UK today so they're going to take forever to dry 

[Richard]

What temperature, Adam, and how long? Thanks.
