IH-555-xx - Super Slim Jean

[madmonday]

it's real early on these, but i have a good feeling about them & can see them done-up in a few different types of denim in due time.

[Giles]

I'm with you MM.  I think they will do real well and I already have plans for different denim make-ups….

[Matt]

So would this be like the 25 oz where it starts as a store version but ends up as a regular version?  And what kind of "super slim" are we talking about here in relation to the other slims?  If the 666 is the Devil's Fit would the 555 be the Downstairs Neighbor of the Devil's Fit?

I voted blue by the way.

[Giles]

No, it will only ever be sold at The Denim Vault and ironheart.co.uk…

[Kikuchi]

Stealth arcs wud be very sexy indeed.. Think I'm a bit biased since all my jeans have either stealth or no arcs.. Haha
The picture says it all.. They look awesome with indigo arcs

So yea indigo arcs shall be my vote..

[og kush]

So yellow is the normal arc stich color? If that's the case would the works W then be red or would that be yellow as well?

[Giles]

The W can be any colour but yellow.  This is reserved for Triple Works….

I gave Tom a verbal design and for the life of me I can't remember what opening I specced, but it should be significantly narrower than the 666S.

Part of the reason we went with 555 is that it looks like SSS - Super Slim Selvedge

I see..
So clever..

Stealth arcs and red W really does it for me.. Haha

[Matt]

That's clever, I'm glad you gave it up because it likely would have taken us years to figure it out on our own..

Slimmer than the Devil, no thanks.  I would surely develop a blood clot and die.

So would 555S look like SSSS… or Super Slim Selvedge Sucka!

[Giles]

Slimmer from the knee down.

Hi Guys, I'm Vincent from TDV
Thanks for the vote,
The reason why Giles and me making this jeans are,
Because most of people in Indonesia still like skinny cut jeans. They used to wear Nudie, April77, Ksubi and any other modern jeans around.
So we think about making our own slim jean.  We believe we have taken the best parts of some of our favorite cuts and combined them into what i hope will be the ultimate slim cut
And maybe this jeans can be transition for them, who wants to try Japanese Jeans/Selvage/Heavy weight but still love their skinny cut.
And this 21oz fabric is very comfortable, even in skinny cut. It's not hot at all, it's very comfortable.
And at first I want the name is 911s, but Giles think it will reminds some guys about the 9-11
So he choose 555 from "SSS", which means Super Slim Selvage. 
Which brilliant
And spoiler for the leather patch, we'll use snake as the icon for this jeans.

[Matt]

So you're looking for a 301s w/ a slimmer top block it sounds like… and selvedge seems at the hem which should make 301 fans happy.

[Matt]

Snakes!  SSS!  Oh it just keeps getting better.  You should make the arcuates green then!

[Matt]

… and call it Super Slithery Selvedge!

[Giles]

@Matt:

Nope.  Think top block of 666S but with slightly higher rise and more girth in the hip (this is wear the 666 is tight), then slimmer than the 666S from the knee down

[Finn666]

why 911s btw.?

doesn´t sound that skinny to me (when chosen the right size!)…

[Seul]

People who wear skinny jeans always size down so, it'll work for them… 

[madmonday]

higher rise is good, indifferent to the girth but that might change, slimmer from knee down undecided at the moment.

thanks for the back story vinnie & gile$

oh & you are right seul, don't you always size down a few

[Seul]

Uhm… No?..

Slimmer from knee down = good.
