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

[thompsoa]

Thanks guys, I soaked mine for about 45 minutes in warm water but removed them due to the loss of color that was occurring.

Giles, so this is standard color loss in other sbg models that are rinsed prior to selling? And is it due to excess dye or did i just rinse off a shade of black? I didn't want that to happen, when you advised soaking I expected the same situation as soaking other Iron hearts, and does this mean they are going to fade quicker or should they hold the color for the same duration? And thank you again in advance for the input.

They are from the same denim as all the other SBG's, so take a look at evo in pics in this thread….

That worn & washed pair looks incredible.

I'm giving mine a hot soak right now, to see if I get them hemmed next week or not. In any case, the water didn't turn black (like wrote above)

[Max Power]

I stand corrected: when I put them out of the tub, it was pretty dark. Curious to see wether they shrunk a bit.

[Captain]

The first batch of these differed a bit meassured size vs tagged size. Is the new run altered or are they tagged/sized as before?

[Giles]

The sizing is the same as the first run.  I try to keep re-iterations of the same jean the same, even if they were off first time around.  It is really difficult for us and you if there are different versions with the same tag out in the market.

[Max Power]

FYI: my 555-03 shrank around 2cm while soaking. So around 1" shrinkage in the washer seems possible.

[Finn666]

^that should be in length, right? what are your feelings on the other parts such as the thigh?…

[Max Power]

Well, as I've been wearing my loosest cut lately, these feel pretty snug . But the thighs and waist are totally fine, no noticeable shrinkage here. If at all, they feel softer now. Compared to the Samurai, it's more the tightness around the knees and calves that takes time to get used to.

[Finn666]

thanks a lot buddy…helped a lot! really don´t need any shrinkage in thigh tbh.

[Max Power]

You won't get it or at least easily stretch it back, I think.

[Finn666]

thanks lad!

so i think you found your "golden cut" eh?!…2 pairs of these is just dope!
i really love my pair!

[madmonday]

i actually prefer my 666s, to go totally off track once i get to my golden weight i think i will appreciate these more.  i also tend to experiment with different cuts & don't get too stuck on a single thing.

i've done & sometimes revisit boot cut, straight leg, nut huggers, all depends on the day & the fit. the way i see it clothes are just clothes, i'm still the same asshole that rolled out of bed in the morning no matter what i'm wearing 

**told you off track

[Finn666]

there's nothing better to it, than a good old bit of off topic/off track posting mate
