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

[riffblaster general]

They are a little slimmer than I had anticipated.  I can get them on and button them and walk around but I wouldn't be able to do anything really physical in them.  Basically I should have gotten a 31 instead of a 30.  Totally my mistake.

Riff, that denim does stretch a lot…..

[riffblaster general]

Maybe I'll give it a few days. It's mostly the thigh/crotch area.  If I can get a little bit of thigh stretch they should work.

[Giles]

Hey, you've got a Dottie, do you need them again…..?

[riffblaster general]

definitely not.  one and done my friend.

9301 vs. 555-03 not the "same" denim but images coming soon

[riffblaster general]

monday…i will have both in the next few days as well so when i get em i'll do the same.

[madmonday]

cool rbg, curious to see your thoughts & i really put stuff up to force myself to find the time to do it.

almost an entire page without an image:

sh!tty image better than no image, hahahahaha

random things i've  noticed on my 555 03s (34)  & 9301s (33). i think the 9301s are a bit roomier in the top block & tapper less than the 03s, but i didn't measure yet to get "proof".  hell for all i know it's just the denims used causing the difference in feel.

the patch on my 03s have taken on a peanut butter color & i luv it:

the patch on the 9301s is just blacked out & really goes well with super black stubborn denim:

(i know shitty flick will attempt to find the time to get pics in natural light but black is a bitch to capture images of)

Hurrah…... I've changed my mind.....

I am not going to kill the sbg denim.

I have initiated a new run of the denim, so these are no longer endangered....

[Max Power]

Great choice! Been wearing mine yesterday and love the cut and denim.

[Finn666]

need to get mine repaired soon…already miss not wearing them!

[JoshJames]

Any chance they'll be made in a 634 cut?

[Finn666]

^maybe

@Giles:

I've changed my mind…..

I am not going to kill the sbg denim.

I have initiated a new run of the denim, so the 555-03 is reprieved.

Just got to decide what other cuts to do.

Shall I do a IH-634S in it?

[derivative666]

This is great news.

[Finn666]

true that…need to stock up on another pair of these some day!

[mr.dead]

What was your reasoning on killing the sbg denim? Also… any chance of ever getting the 555 in a non-fade black denim?

[Giles]

It does not matter now, because it isn't happening….

I suspect not....

Initial fit post soak. I think I'll let them settle in behind the knees and send them off to get hemmed in a month or so.  Went with a 33 as it was available via almari2010 on the forum and the bit of extra room in the thigh and lower appealed to me.  Waist is snug but comfortable, and I'm thinking it will also be fine with a belt. On a side note, this is my first iron heart denim, and I am just blown away by the craftsmanship.

[bertoni]

Could be the fit-pic that sends me over the edge. They look perfect to me Daniel.
