IH-555S-BLK - 21oz Black Selvedge Slim
-
Snagged these tag 34:s in the sale and just got to try them on. Pretty much exactly what i wanted, slim but not uncomfortable. Waist is spot on (35,8"), top block feels good, thighs are a bit tight but these will easily stretch the needed little bit. Will probably sit perfectly when softened up. I think I'll keep these!
Love the black 21oz denim too!

awesome fit, & I wear outfits like that all the time to work, but I usually have shoes on my feet
u look trimmer than I recall (so no more big unit :P) . . . congrats if that's on purpose

selling gear sucks, but losing weight means you will probably be around longer to enjoy . . . you know, life

Here's a fit pic for one of the last few tag 28's (NB–the waist actually measured 29.8 on this pair):
EDIT: deleted fit pics
Pretty excited, since this is my first pair of IH (hopefully not the last!) Obviously they need a hemming, but I think I came about as close to nailing the fit as possible!

I agree - nice fit and welcome to the (Iron Heart) club!

How much stretching are you guys seeing in the thigh?
-
^it will probably depend on how much stress it's under… The heavy stitching along the side seem allows for some Inherent give, and the fabric should give about 1/4 inch I expect, especially in larger sizes that have more fabric to stretch.
Anyone have these that could help this dude out??

Thanks man, really appreciate the insight! I think 1/4 inch is probably all I need, 634 fit is slightly too baggy for me and I thought these might be too tight!

No problem dude - I had a Pair of Beatle Busters that went from 12.8 to 13.185 in the thigh after consistent wear, so that's closer to .5 inch in total thigh stretch. If you are worried about the thigh, just make sure you get the 555-01 or the 555s-BLK (like this thread) since they stretch a lot - the 555-02 have an amazing denim but the thighs and leg stretch overall is much less forgiving. Hope that helps! Post pics when you decide/get your new jeans!

Thanks again Adam! I was really interested in the SBG and 18oz raw denim (555-02) for this fit, I have both the flagship indigo and black in 634 fit already >:(. Will go for the SBG once its back in stock for size 34!

I think @madmonday might be able to help you get into some SBG (555-03 sz 34) while you wait for a fresh restock

At least 2 months later, and wow. All I can say is: not only did I nail the fit, but y'all nailed the jeans. Consider me IH fam from here on out.
May post pics later…I only wish you guys had plans to do the 25's in this fit, but I'll deal.
