IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
Got the chance to hot soak (30 min.), machine wash (30min., low spin, tap cold), & air dry today.

@RoxRocks86 Great fit, I normally try "size up" in the 555 for extra thigh room, I also missed out on the 888/634 XHSib drops so maybe need to wait until next time...
I suspect your vans might change colour whilst wearing them!

@Jord thanks! I know most size for thighs. Good to know what measurements work for your body type. Only recently learned about it after gaining some mass in thighs
I typically only need waist measurements to see if the denim fit will “work” and only add thighs if I want a specific fit if the table measurements don’t align with what works for me.
As for the sneakers, love a nice new pair! But honestly not too concerned since they’re a back up pair for work so the little use they get atm is just to break them in. The off white is lovely for the time being
Happy to break in a new pair of xhsib’s
Editing to add - the thighs on these are very loose, even after washing. Overall, the fit is a typical 555 slim fit. Planning to continue wearing this pair even though it’s slimmer than I was hoping. It’s still loose enough to enjoy movement even in the warmest of temps in comparison to my tailored 777’s.

@Jord what other model do you plan to go for? Unless you’re set on waiting until the next restock.

@RoxRocks86 I haven't ever tried a 666... so tempted, but saying that I own a lot of pairs right now and don't even know what to focus on haha. I've also only owned one pair of 777's but the rise is just to small for me, I tend to go 555/634/888's.
I have a few pairs of the UHR (634/888 fits) so might wear them during this summer (summer in Scotland is mild so I don't mind them in the heat)
The 555's were my first IH cut though, so I have a soft spot for them, I love my old faded jeans!
Enjoy your new jeans, they look killer!

@RoxRocks86 fit looks amazing!! I love that the xhs 555 cuts are a little roomier than the lighterweight ones, my 555 xhsbb fit more like an 888 and that's why I decided to keep them after realising that 555 is not the cut for me. Excited to see what you do with them!
