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

@hollywoodisgood:

Looking to get these very soon. Hopefully they fit the same as the 301s, which is what the measurements are pointing to.

They kind of do. But also not. I own both 301's and 555's in the 21oz indigo. While both are tapered, the 555's are slightly slimmer and the 301's have much more room in the top block. Also, be careful comparing SE measuring to IH measuring. Two different methods that can lead to misleading conclusions when compared.

have these gone through a radical measurement change since the first batch?

My size 33 (first batch) have a thigh measurement equal to the present size 31…

[Giles]

Not to my knowledge….

@giles Make a SBG type III with pockets please

[Giles]

That is on the radar…..

These will be gone in a second I guess…

I need a 33.. will the restock be announced or can I have a pair on deposit?! @Giles

[Giles]

We don't generally do deposits and we don't do pre-orders.  We did do for the DWC and I have already had 3 people come back and say that their circumstances have changed and they no longer want the jeans and 5 others say that they need a different size….I understand that stuff like this happens, but all it does is complicate matters.

Complete the form if you want an email when they hit…

This does not guarantee that we will have your size available when the stuff hits the store but it does mean you will get an email the moment they are available - it's then up to you to be quicker than the rest of the madding crowd.

The re-run is complete and ready to ship from Hachioji, should be here in a week/10 days…

[shego]

Cheers Giles - makes sense as to why no pre-orders.

I'm tempted to size up to the 34w, purely as I seem to remember the 33 being bloody tight.. I'm also back in the gym so wouldn't want the thighs to be skin tight!

Please remind me again about sizing compared to the 02 model?  I've seen a mix of posts in both threads on whether or not people went with the same size as the raw model or sized down.

[Giles]

1. Don't know until they get here
2. When they do get here, the sizing chart will be updated if they are different from the previous run
3. They you can compare the sizing between the 2 models - bear in mind that the 02 shrink about an inch in the waist and about 1.5" in the leg.  The 01 and the 03 will not

I took 31 in 555-02's and 30 in these. 555-02's were a little bit big after soak.

[jbwood]

Thanks to both of you.  I know the sizing might change a little bit since the last batch, but was just curious as to what the comparison was from the previous models.

Miiks, on your SBG, did you experienced much stretch in the waist with wear? somebody mentioned this denim is tough to break in at first, I am just wondering if I should go true to size, or a bit tight at first and go through the pain until they stretch to perfect.
Thanks!

[Giles]

• Sanforized, so little or no shrinkage but like all denim, will stretch up to one inch in the waist with wear

[Miiks]

Yep, they stretched out pretty fast.

[Giles]

Properly restocked…...
