IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

[Fergz]

I guess you could super hot soak them again and you might lose a little more. The fit of the 555s is "roomy" in the waist as opposed to snug though of course you should be able to wear without a belt.

If a second soak doesn't do the trick you could cut your losses, sell and chalk it down to experience.

Personally I love the 555 and 666 cuts. I would say that the 666 while slim does allow for a little more room but has a much snugger waist. Much easier to get the 666s off compared with the 555s. If the latter cut works for you then the 666s will definitely look good.

For anyone who has these. How much did these shrink in the thigh?

Clearly Monday has been spending way too much times on his knees.

BTW those 555's are fucking brilliant

Collecting IH can bring out the worst in a man…

So true, Just One Fix

Gave these jeans a nice warm soak after about a year of wear. Out of all my Iron Hearts, I'd say the 18oz in this cut is the most stubborn pair of jeans I own. But I love them and definitely enjoy the struggle of breaking them in.

Nice fit, Mr. Dead!

great shit mickey! @madmonday must be your most worn pair iirc!?

[seanocono]

Agreed. Those look excellent.

[madmonday]

yeap @Finn666 most worn pair of anything ever . . . well except my glasses & my belt. thanks for the kind words both of yous.

now just to figure out what i'm going to wear next full time as i can't wear these to work anymore.  i find i may like a jeans fit but i'm so spoiled with IH back pockets that it ruins a lot of fits that would be otherwise be very good. maybe i'll start a thread for which jean fits me the best & rock out that way . . .

Had to do some home made alterations on them.

Basically, they click when I walk which is VERY annoying. I can only assume this is due to the roomier top block than what I'm used to.

I turned them inside out, and right where the front and back rise meet, I made a little fold and stitched it with some thread which tightened up the whole top block while also reducing the rubbing and 'clicking'.

I can't see the thread lasting long but they are now wearable!

Anyone else experienced the clicking/rubbing of the crotch area?

[spitfiredealer]

Wear them more they will soon stop "clicking". Don't think stitching a fold will be a good idea
