IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

[Giles]

It's extant until if or when I decide to kill it….

@Giles:

There's a chance, I like the denim and the cut is popular, but the first run sold slowly compared to the 555-01 and 55-03…

So odd, because the 02 IMO is by far the best denim of the three

Yea so I'm dying to purchase a pair of these. I will need to sell some shit to make it happen though! They is not cheep!

I know this has been discussed a bit, but can someone tell me a bit more about how these stretch and shrink when washed and worn over time? I'm not used to heavier denim, and only just got a pair of 301s but they're obviously a different beast since they're sanforized.

Do these stretch a ton after wear? How about, say, compared to Flat Head's 3xxx denim?

This denim doesn't stretch a lot after the soak. My vulcans, in the same denim, came raw with a 35.75" waist. They shrank to 34.75" and after 7 months of wear, the waist measures 35". IMO, it's the best IH denim offering, the 18oz!

Cool thanks man! I'm really looking forward to it, just gotta scrounge up some serious cash…

Mr. G, any chance of a sz 28 becoming available anytime soon?

[Giles]

No time soon (like 3-4 months), I have not initiated a new production run yet..

I can second that. I bought at pair of 555-02s and after initial soak and a couple wears they conformed to my body perfectly. However, this resulted in a really slim fitting jean and they barely give with wear, not like the 21 oz that will stretch a bit. These jeans are amazing though and they develop fades and wear marks quite quickly and this denim evo's into an amazing color, just be sure to size right.

still not enough love for the 02's - inexplicably

Radical! How long does that mean until party time?

[Giles]

I'd guess 10-12 weeks.  G

I was wondering if anyone could chime in on sizing for the 555-02. Did people size the same as for the 01 or 03? I ask because a 31 in the 18 oz is listed as a 32.5 inch waist raw. So that means if soaked properly it should go down to around 31.5 or possibly smaller (I've never had this denim so I don't know exactly how much it shrinks). How much will it stretch out afterwards? Seems like I'd need to size up one to the 32, as I don't know if I could count on getting 1.5 inches + of stretch on these.
