IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
Well,
Thanks to some luck with sizing in this latest batch (Thanks for measuring Paula!), I have a pair of these heading my way.
Hoping they work out like I imagine they should!
-
Got these yesterday - 15 min warm soak and good to go (yes, they are crazy long - ill get them hemmed after some wear and another soak)
Before some oil - can't believe the patch picked up so much indigo:
After some Justin's boot conditioner:
After 10 minutes of wear - holy combs!

@Finn666 - thanks dude! - after a few months of trying to figure out which fit would work best for me, i settled on these. The bonus was Paula found me the perfect pair - relaxed in the top block with a nice higher rise and slim leg below knee.
-
unfortunately yeap. i got thunder thighs & my pants hang low.
i think it's the way i'm built. now i just need to find denim with looser thighs that do not look sloppy & a smaller leg opening. . . .
The SEXIH22-301 is the way to go. I have huge thighs and my 555-01,555-02,and 555-03's all hang real low cuz of the size of my thighs. These new 301's are perfect, I highly recommend them.

That's so strange that you guys are having that issue because with me it's the opposite. I sized the same for my 555-01s and sized 33 on my 555-02's (post shrinkage of the 301's). The thigh is slightly fuller as are the legs, however not by much. The low rise makes it so the jeans fit better and higher in the crotch area, so they don't hang low, causing the distress to the crotch. Wonder why my experience is so much different than yours… Well sorry, I hoped that suggestion would be of some help but I guess that was already tried.

I love the 301 - your pair is a golden fit for sure.
For me, though, the 555-02 that I had IHUK measure for me seemed like the obvious choice. Glad I got them, and I'm glad you are enjoying your 301s - they do look great on you.

^haha yeah…no hard feelings though. now i know what size to get the next time i'm going for'em, so it also has a good thing to it!

love my 555-03's as well…should have gotten these (or the 01's) instead. next time then
btw. how's the range of motion in the top block/thigh area for you (since you and me have similar big thighs to deal with!)?...

@Finn oh the old thighs issue lol These are a size 36, so the waist is quite lose, but comfy enough to tuck a shirt into if I wear them on my weekly trip into the office. The thighs measured 13.4 pre-soak and measured right at 13.1 after soak - perfect for me and easy to bend/squat down. Not sure I will be spotting anyone on Back Squats or demo-ing power cleans wearing these though haha.
I only did a 15 min warm soak, so I know there is more shrink left in these, but I wanted to make 100% sure I could pull them off before I shrunk the heck out of them.
In reality, some people would consider these "upsized" for me, but I actually did that on purpose. My thighs and hamstrings are rather large, so I needed the knee measure to work with me. These did the trick. I chose the 02 just to have a variety of IH fabrics, but I'm sure there would have been a pair or two of the -01 that would have fit me as well.

Appfaff those are going to look great once they settle and get a proper hem. I think D666 does the same thing in sizing up on these. They are a really great pair of jeans. . . .
need to stop reading the forum in traffic, hahaha

i'm into these:
april 2014 shots cause after i wash these in another few weeks i think i'm gonna get them "fixed" & put away for the summer. hopefully after summer they fit me better than they do now. i'm getting fat as f^ck:
oh yeah i just over did it, but like i said i'm into these at the moment. if only vulcans had a smaller leg opening . . .

They are great you should see them in person

How long have you been wearing these, and how often do you give them a wash? They look amazing.
