IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

[Giles]

It is not Zimbabwe cotton.  We moved away from Zimbabwe cotton a few years ago when we could not get it without the indigo used to dye it had a green hue to it.  We now use cotton sourced to our specifications from USA, no one can tell the difference (well me, Haraki and the IH crew can't)…..

[Snowy]

I like this as part of the IH story. Even though Zimbabwe has the rep as the best cotton, Haraki-san wasn't content to rest, and when the product started changing he found an equal quality source in the USA, which resulted in a product impossible to tell the difference. Epic.

[Giles]

What I like about it, and it exhibits itself in a variety of ways with Haraki, is that he specs something and as long as the spec meets his exact requirements, he is happy to go with it.  Here are a couple of examples:

G.  Are these Tee's loopwheeled?  H.  Dunno, I need to check
G.  Where in USA does the cotton come from?  H.  Dunno.  It matches my spec, that's all I care about.
G.  Is this shirt made from selvage chambray?  H.  No, it did not need to be from a functional point of view and I like the texture of this chambray more than any other

Whoa, those look way skinnier than the PROXIH09. I thought the Pronto collab would be slimmer. Good to know.

i think it will look more beautiful if the arcuate colour is gold or bronze

should i soak my pair..

any benefits to it?

[Giles]

no need

[Do7]

the 21oz is super soft…
so luxurious

[Do7]

was wondering.. what happen to the brown paper bag the jeans got shipped with?

[Pushragner]

Ok, I'm hooked om iron Heart now. I have a pair of beatle Busters which I really like. But I would like something a little slimmer as well. How do the 555 compare in fit to the Nudie Grim Tims. Anyone who has both Jeans? I'm in the market for something a little looser than the Nudies.

Anyone care to weigh in?

hei PushWagner
i will say, look at the 666!

[Seul]

Push: backing the 666 statement…

[Bluegrass]

My Devils ~1/2" slimmer than BBs all the way down (per IH measuring) and lower rise (both TS 38).  Also 1" longer.  With where they sit, extra length and smaller hem, I cuff em ~2".  I just ordered 555s, as they are shown to be even trimmer at the knee/hem (hope it's not too trim)… Agree you might want to try the Devils first... you wont be disappointed.

[Do7]

Brand new pair.. feels good..

[Finn666]

looks like a good fit as well!…

[Pushragner]

Thanks hajduk and Seul. I've been reading the 666xhs-thread and the 666 is the fit I'm looking for. Now I have to go back to that thread and pester the good people about sizing.
