IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
Ok, haven't given my 555's any love at all because it seems that i have a "diaper butt" and it annoys me quite a bit…not only can i feel the extra denim in my arse area when walking, it kinda looks like i just pooped in my pants. Anyone else ever had this issue?
So i tried it on again today to give it another go and get a second opinion. Will this eventually settle and feel and look better with time? Or should i just size down 1?

Doesn't look that bad, the only solution is to wear them hard to soften up the denim and mould it to your body. A soak or wash might help soften them.

thanks maxpower. i noticed the images doesn't look as bad as it does in person. perhaps i'll give it a good hot soak tonight and see what happens.
Do7, glad to hear that i'm not alone on this. maybe you're right about the rise, or maybe i just have a small butt. haah!
i actually sized up one basing it on what i wanted on the thigh measurements. however, i didn't think that i would have much extra room in the butt area. hopefully, this could help some others on whether sizing up on these is a good idea or not.

So chewie has a sz 33 up for sale that has me interested… Waist'll be too big but then the XHS also has stretched to a 34 (and it is loose, but that's what you get when you work in jeans, despite wearing a belt that could knock out a mammoth, knock off a mammoth even)...
12" thighs: wouldn't even need any stretching
8.25" knee: so that's half an inch tighter than the XHS... Can't really see that to be an issue...
7.5" legopening at 36" inseam; so shortened to say 33", that would be closer to 8"...
15" rise: I could live with that...Shit...

Can you stand a high rise? If yes, try it. They are comfy in the top block, but I still can't get used to pull them off my shins when I take them off. Speaking - they're really tight. But if you like that look - give it a shot.
-
Ok so i hot soaked them for almost 2 hours the other night and to my surprise, no shrinkage. All measurements are same as original, haah! I guess it is what it is.

Well, in fairness, you have reshaped yourself pretty dramatically. I expect a lot of things that were impossible a year ago are doable now. Kind of a reward for all the discipline and hard work, right?
