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

[wariosss]

they were so stiff i wanted to soften them with a soak and to make the hemming stiches settle.
Also i like them to stay as black as possible so i removed the excess color and soaked with soap to fix the color…

@Finn666:

where you from?
if you're from europe, I'd say just pull the trigger in your size and exchange if needed…isn't that much of a problem!
would be a bigger problem if you're from the us or some other country, where an exchange is a bit more of a hustle!

but if you think the measurements are almost the same, I'd go with the 31 in these as well!
from my thoughts I had back then (deciding to go for 8301S or these!) I also would have went with a 34 in the 8301S, as I did with the 555-03's later on!

I'm in the U.S.  Good to hear about your sizing between the two also.  I think I'll just go with the 31, it seems that the measurements are even slightly bigger in the 555 which would work too my benefit as well.  Thanks for your advice Finn!

^ no problem mate!…

wariossss - gotcha sir, sounds reasonable!

[moykky]

This version seems to have a noticeably higher rise than the raw and 21oz indigo (good thing), has it?
This is a second pair of jeans that Max P. really sold for me -but are sold out!

Being re-run as I type

[moykky]

Ooh, when are they due to hit the shelves?

[CLJ]

Keep coming back to this thread…

Guess its too soon for any real evo pics just yet.

[Finn666]

i wear mine for a total of a month now i think and it is just starting to get a bit grey in some places! this one takes time…a lot of time i think!

@moykky:

Ooh, when are they due to hit the shelves?

My guess is 6-8 weeks

[moykky]

^ Thanks! Being impatient I went with the 18 ozers…

Finn or other guys with legs - how much stretch have you got out of the thighs so far?

@CLJ:

Mine have stretched a little in the thigh after a month or so of irregular wear (2-3 times a week).  Like Finn, I decided against soaking.

The combs are going to be intense - when they eventually start fading

[TJ]

Mine go from "Damn, these are tight," to "Damn, these are comfortable," within a few hours every time they come out of the wash.  I haven't measured them, but they stretch plenty.

[Max Power]

Thanks for the kind words moykyy i havent worn mine for three weeks and really  look forward to do so again. i have some grey hues at somecplaces but no real fades. and i am not keen on getting some, as i like plain black. just thinking of hemming those….finn, have you already done it?

[Max Power]

Oh, another quick question: ihs come with pretty apparent and great roping. has anybody encountered that a new hemjob leads to less roping?

[Finn666]

@Max:

just thinking of hemming those….finn, have you already done it?

nope mate…not yet! going to send these to daniel in february though.

[GingerMagician]

Quick pic of how awesomely the combs on these are developing…

…pretty good imo for 2-3 days of not particularly hard wear per week since mid Nov - never thought I'd get so attached to a pair of black jeans

[Finn666]

shades of grey at ~ 1month in!

[JCar2666]

Has there or will there be a 634 cut in this denim G?

[Giles]

There has not been.  I know of no plans to do so, but the IH-634S-GR are amazingly close in concept…
