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

[superfuzz]

Hey Giles, can you explain how the 555 cut differs from the 666. According to the measurements, the thigh of the 666 is .9 inches smaller than the 555. Is that correct? I'm thinking about getting a pair of 555s or 666s once you have them in size 28.

[Giles]

In simplistic terms the they are narrower all the way down.  I wear a 666 with ease, the 555 not possible, thighs far too tight for me….

[superfuzz]

Thanks Giles. That's what I assumed. Are the measurements wrong then? 11 inch thigh on size 29 doesn't seem that tight to me. I have the 301s and I'm hoping to get something slimmer in the top block for my next pair. I'm leaning towards the 555 in 18oz indigo.

[Giles]

Dont have any here to double check.  But are you measuring the way we do, which gives the true thigh measurement

[superfuzz]

Giles, I'm talking about the difference between the thigh measurements on the 666 and 555 cuts on the Iron Heart site. According to your measurements the 18oz 666 has a smaller thigh than the 18oz 555 I. Size 29. That's why I'm confused

[Giles]

I can't help at the moment because I have no 555-03 to measure.  They'll be here soon and I will recheck all the measurements….

Cool, thanks Giles! I will wait for the restock.

But Giles is (obviously) right

@CLJ:

just measured.
the waist stretched to a comfy 36.5" and the thighs to 13"!
that´s +1" in the waist and +0.5" in the thighs…

[CLJ]

Good to know! Thanks. Mine are 2km away in a postal depot and I cannot get them until Monday. Torture.
