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.

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.

@FlavourFade Thank you man! Should be 6 or 7 machine washes. Another one due soon when it comes to repairing again

@beef_bonanza amazing! I love how the tonal arcs have become contrast arcs
-
@don_pipone yeah man. This is why I prefer tonal arcs. You can make them really pop by fading the surrounding fabric
-
@beef_bonanza yeah, that's what I love about them too. Unfortunately I can't wear 555s anymore (fit-wise) and there are no indigo 777s with tonal arcs
-
-
@chillmonroe Usually the arcs on the back pockets are stitched in a different coloured yarn than the denim (contrast). The black denims and the original 555 21oz have them in the same colour making them tonal.
-
@don_pipone ah. Thanks!
-
@don_pipone I would not go for 555 on new jeans either anymore. However, I have to cope with them as they are not totally worn out yet. 10 years ago when I bought them, they could not be skinny enough. Now I have to pay the bill:-)
And somehow especially on black jeans I still like the slim cut for a change. Certainly not for everydayinsta: denim_demon

@beef_bonanza Wow they are fantastic.
