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

[Max Power]

Haven't worn them much yet…but I really like them.

[lololol]

any word on the restock?

[Giles]

Yes.  We have had some issues with TNT pick ups.  The shipment has been sitting in Hachioji since last Tuesday.  TNT keep on coming to pick up, but never have the appropriate paperwork.  I will give them one more go on Tuesday (Works is shut on a Monday), and if that fails, I will revert to UPS…..So about 10 days away....Sorry.

Any chance of this denim in a 634s or 666 cut? Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere.

Edit: just saw that the next incarnation of the IHxB01SBG will have all black constructional stitching. I think they will hit the spot.

[Giles]

Restocked…...

[lololol]

Giles can I have an updated measurements of the current run of jeans? Im looking at the tagged size 31. And how.much stretch can I be expecting out of the waist and thigh respectively?

[Finn666]

from my experience the stretch should be about 1" out of the waist and 0.5" out of the thighs!

[Giles]

Paula checked them and they run the same as last batch….

Great pics Rafa and Max, cross post of my 555-03.

Nice shot! I've been wearing mine this weekend and have to say I like the fit better and better. Has anybody washed or soaked it and gotten some shrinkage in the inseam?

[wariosss]

washed at 40° and had 1 inch of shrinkage in the inseam

[Max Power]

Thanks a lot. Good to hear that!

oh oh
let's hope mine won't shrink…had them hemmed to perfection...actually! :-\

[T-Bone]

I just soaked mine and have to send them for hemming. The waist is tighter now but the inseam is still too long.

Finn666, would you please post a pic showing that "hemmed to perfection" pants? Just for taking notes, you know.

Anesthetist, are those really 555-03? Mine don't have a yellow stitching.

[Max Power]

^he has a sample pair that feature yellow stitching like the BB SBG.

[T-Bone]

Oh I see, very cool indeed.

before washing i wore mine with a small cuff, like you finn, now i don't need it anymore

[Finn666]

good to know
this denim is really something special. after a few months of wear (2-3 I think!) it's really coming alive and the grey is popping up everywhere!
