IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
I love this cut - roomy/comfortable at top, and fitted but not too tight through the legs. they look equally great stacked or cuffed - and not that this means crap, but it's my wife's favorite of all my jeans. I wont declare a favorite cut, but it's a 3-way tie betw. Beatles, 634 and 555.

Thanks for reply.
Actually i am not worry about waist, even 34 inches is OK for me.
But my thigh and knee is little bit bigger than normal.
It is OK for slim straight fit, but I'am worry about skinny fit.
But I think I'll try it in 36.Why not go for a 666 cut then VB?
You still get slim, but with a bigger thigh and knee. -

You still get slim, but with a bigger thigh and knee.Yes, it seems a good idea.

You can't go wrong with either both my favorite cuts

The big difference between 555 and 666 is, 555 has higher rise, roomier top block - and trimmer from the knee down - looking at the measurements it seems like the thigh measurement is similar?
True that Bluegrass.
But my 555's feel way slimmer in the thigh than my 666XHS's, both size 33, and the thighs are the same measurement!
It must have something to do with the knee being bigger -
I think IH cuts are extremely versatile like that…
Very forgiving with the bigger sizes!
Not that i know from experience, but just looking at the measurements.
I think some brands go to far with 36-38 inch waists, which taper down super intense like a smaller size.
In other words, IH has just got their cuts right for alot of people to enjoy! -
I still find it remarkable that at 6'7" 225 lbs I can wear the 555 and not look like I'm trying to be 20 yrs old again.
Bluegrass, you give me hope. I had a conversation with my (younger) girlfriend a couple of days ago that went something like this:
Me: What style of jeans do you like best on guys? Baggy, straight, slim-cut, skinny?
Her: Whatever you're comfortable wearing.
Me: But ideally, if it was up to you, what's your preference compared to the style I'm wearing now? [slim-fit, 7.8" hem]
Her: Well…[diplomatic pause]…a lot of guys are wearing jeans much tighter than those these days.She seems to like Russell Brand, and I like his recent public opinions about politicians, so perhaps I should wriggle my 43 year old self into a "Super-Duper Slim" cut.

Some nice evo coming through on the 555-01's:

hhaha, fortunately this aint no russell brand cut!!
Thanks for the pics Bluegrass :), and JerUrsidae.

Love that patch
-
Yes, indeed. But the old one was already nice. I love the 555 cut lately. Dunno what took me so long. Probably because I lost a lot of weight.

Can anyone help me here? I'm searching for a slimmer cut and am looking at the 555 (01 and 02), the 666S and the Raw Busters. But I don't seem to be able to find anything that will fit me properly. I have a pair of 634S W34 that fit fine. The waist has stretched out to 35 inches but I'd like more taper/slimmer fit from the knee down. The Buster Raws will shrink down to a 12 inch thigh, like the 555-02 and I feel that'll probably be a bit tighter than i'd like. Will either of them offer much stretch in the thigh area? My ACTUAL thigh measures 25 inches (measurement taken from crotch and around). I like the thought of some 18oz really for a change but I don't see how anything will fit me right. The 555-01 will offer me 12.3 which MIGHT be ok. Any thoughts/experiences from other 34/35 inch waisters?

I have 34w 666 & 36w 555
Both are my favorite cuts666 is a tighter top block and thigh, less tapered from knee down than 555.
555 is roomy in thigh and top block almost like 634 but very tapered from knee down.

Hey
Thanks for the reply. Looking at the sizing charts for the 555-02 w34, the waist would shrink to a 34.5…perfect. But the thigh starts at 12.5 so will shrink to what? 12.2? 12? That would be more than an inch difference on the thigh between my 634S. There is certainly room for some thigh reduction but i'm not sure I could pull off an inch! This is my first foray into slimmer denim territory and i'm not sure IH has anything for me seeing as I fall into the dreaded 35 inch waist "no fly zone"!!
The 555-01 looks like my only hope with a 12.3 inch thigh. -
My 555 is 01 not 02 21 stretches like crazy and is not stubborn like the 18oz
