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

[madmonday]

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.

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

[davito]

Well done Daniel enjoy those beauties. Where is the doggiedog?

[DanielAFC]

Horrible photo, I know, but here's the fit on my new (to me) 555-03s. Shout out to Riff for hooking me up!

[sabergirl]

Great fit!!

[User]

How much stretch should be expected on these guys?  I'm in a toss up between 31 & 32.

[Giles]

An inch in the waist….

[bandmailtony]

Maybe someone can offer some advice? I'm about to (FINALLY) pull the trigger on my first pair of IH, and I'm doing it all by measurement.

I'm a true size 30 waist, but I also like super tight jeans, especially concerning a more fitted top block. I hope not to catch too much crap for this but all I really know is Levi's, so the best way to explain it is that I generally go with 510's/ 511's fits: slight taper, but very slim throughout.

Do you guys think 28 will stretch out too much/little for what I'm looking for? Based on the sizing chart I'll be able to fit them for sure, and I'm a stick so I'm not worried about fitting the thigh or calf; I've just been reading the IH-555 forums for about two hours now and seeming to get some mixed messages on the IH-555-03 after a few weeks of wear.

My best advice is to measure your best fitting Levi using the Iron Heart method. If it turns out that you're a tts 30, by sizing down you will eventually stretched the waist to a 30. But should you choose to go with a  size 30 wearing a belt will prevent further stretch.

But I see that you are looking for a fitted top block then going 1 size down might be your best bet. All the best and wait for other senior members responses.

Welcome to the IH family.
