IH-555S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Cut Jeans - Superblack (Fades To Grey)
-
@Richard hhmmm, I haven’t yet even considered that. Just assumed lighter weight = less hot, but I’m picking up what you are putting down. I absolutely love my 21oz 555’s so if I can get away with it I’ll keep wearing em. They will definitely be my jeans of choice when the weather is good enough to start riding my motorbike again. Only just rolling into Spring so we are a couple of months away from our regular high temps. I’m only new to Japanese/selvage denim so the learning curve has been steep and appreciate any tips and or additional information.
Cheers for the heads up -
@Aussie-Ben The most breathable denim that IH makes in my opinion is the 16oz slubs. Next would be the 17oz, 18oz, and 21oz denims in no particular order. The 18oz is probably my favourite, but currently putting on some miles with the 17oz jeans and love the way they are coming around. They could possibly take my top pick for fades, comfort, wearing in multiple temps.
The 16oz slubs though are without a doubt the most breathable, love the texture, and the fades look great.
Can’t go wrong with any of the above.

@goosehd legend mate, many thanks. I’ll keep a look out for when those weights in my size drop again and grab a pair or 2

@Richard I looked at the 888s but I feel like they will be too roomy is the seat, unless I sized down 2 maybe they'd work but I'd be afraid they'd be too tight in the waist after a wash. I'll probably try the 633s.

Noticing this weird little flap here like there’s extra material or something. Waist fits perfect and they’re good everywhere else, but they kinda flare out like pantaloons because of this. Thinking maybe because they’re new and still stiff, it’s really pronounced? I don’t have this issue with my XHS with the same measurements. Anyone experienced this? Does it go away?

Haven’t bought a pair of black jeans since my teenage years, some ages ago, definitely needed a pair. After waiting for these to drop all spring and summer, when they finally did. I didn’t have the funds to get them anymore…..thanks life, haha……but now I do so I managed to grab a pair from @guiltyparty Top notch customer service, found me a pair that was hitting the numbers I was after and they fit perfect. Little bit slimmer than my indigo 21oz 555s, which is exactly what I was after! Thanks Guilty Party crew.
