IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
Should I cop these or 01's if i want sik fadezz?
01 doesn't say that they are raw indigo so im assuming they fade slow or fades are weak.
only thing stopping me from buying 666s is the back pockets (i prefer the stealth arc) and with the 555-01 everything checks out they were my first choice but i haven't seen one interesting fade pic with that model.I like the electric blue undertone of the 02 that ive seen in some pics, only cons i heard is they are not comfy plus im worried about the whole unsanforized,soaking and sizing bit.
How does the break in process and comfort compared to APC ps? (if anyone here owns both pairs)
I really want to go with 01 but I want something that won't take forever to fade
should i go with the 02?

If you are concerned with fades, go 02. The 21oz is amazing denim, but it is very slow to fade. The 01 would be way more comfortable, and easy to wear from the get go. 02 is going to be stiff and hard to break in.
APC is just a lighter, more slack stretchy denim. The 01 would probably be the closer of the two, but they're apples and oranges.

555-01 is safer bet concerning sizing. If you are familiar with your measurements and not afraid of shrinkage, then I would go with 555-02. 18oz is something else.

Yeah, I've had 18oz 666s and the 02s. Don't be afraid of it. Get yer measurements right (measure an existing pair the IH way). Giles and his team are really helpful and the 18oz denim is really lovely stuff.
Oh and sabregirl is absolutely right, apples and oranges.
