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

[User]

Just tried these on in a 31, thanks to Skylersdad.  I think they would have fit me if I could get them past my monster calves.  I tried the 8301s in a 31 and it was fine.  Should I take the chance on the 32 in these or look for another cut?

[Giles]

I'd look at another cut….

Also, the APC Petite New Standard is pretty much dead on for me which is,

tag: 32 waist: 33 rise: 10 thigh: 11.5 knee: 8.25 leg opening: 7 Any advice on something similar or maybe even slightly less tapered?

[jdl1279]

If you want to stay similar thigh up and pretty much just increase from knee down slightly, then I think a 666 is going to be your best bet. The rise is a little higher at 10.5 but the knee would be about 8 depending which model you choose and the hem around 7.5.  Sadly no SBG though

Damn, I really want black denim

I think I might try the 555 in a tag size 33, if they show up again.

Not for a few months as we are having to make the denim…..

I have the 33w in these, and they are as big as I would want to go top block wise, and the measurements of your apc ps look tighter than I would prefer to go in the top block.  Take that for what it's worth.

So maybe just right?   The APCs are a bit tight in the top block, nothing a bit of stretching hasn't fixed.  The rise is super low though, so I'm certainly looking for something that doesn't give me plumbers crack all the time.

Any chance you can give me some measurements of yours as they've stretched out?

[DanielAFC]

You definitely won't have to worry about plumbers crack with the 33, plenty of rise rear and front. I can get you some measurements later on, I rotate between a couple pairs though, so probably only about 2 weeks of effective wear. I am wearing a belt and putting little to no stress on the waist to stretch though. I also got abit over a half inch of shrinkage in the waist  from an initial soak.

one year+…no soaks, no washes

[shego]

Really nice, Finn.

Been wearing mine since the beginning of the year, 4-5 days a week. Will begin constant wear in the next couple of weeks…

[DanielAFC]

[nizzel55]

[Finn666]

[daynym]

Yepp. Great fit and fades. Well done.

In response to "user" as per discussion from the last page, as I couldn't seem to figure out how to properly use the quote function:

After a few weeks and an initial hot soak my 33 555-03s are at

Waist 35" - after.5" initially lost from a soak
Front rise - 11"
Rear rise - 16"
Thigh - 12" (shrank a bit and I haven't stretched it back out
Knee - 8"
Hem - 7.5"
Inseam - hemmed to 34.5, shrank to a bit longer than 33.5"

Any chance you can give me some measurements of yours as they've stretched out?
