IH-555N - 17oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Natural Indigo
-
Thanks @Kathrynnaomi! The waist has stretched out, but i couldn't tell you by how much. They are not quite there, but are now close. I would guess about 10 wears. I think they would have stretched more, but i've had to tighten my belt a notch otherwise it was all loose, which i now realise was probably stopping them stretching more. Now belt free for several wears!
How are you getting on with yours?
Not too bad, I'm only two days in and hoping for a bit more stretch for them to be comfortable. The denim is lovely, a great shade of indigo. I've got the 555 in 21ozcand 18oz and it's amazing how different they all feel. It's a perfect fit for me!

I'm planning to get this one tomorrow. I bought a 666N yesterday and I'm finding it a bit bulky for my style, so I'm going to exchange that for the 555N. The 666N that I got was waist 32, so my question now is should I get size 31 for the 555N? Suggestions?

Giles this might be a silly question but for a newbie like myself was curious to know why the rivets on the 555N not have the iron works engraving as compared to the 555-02.

Thanks to all who helped me git my first Iron Heart! I got my first pair of 555N today. I will post a picture soon! I really like the fit and the indigo dye looks awesome. I hope that it ages excellently!

Thanks! I'm not a fashion guy, but in the very recent years I've been buying products that would be of high quality. Most of the denims that I bought over the last couple of years did not last for more than a year. They either shrunk in length or in the waist. Same goes with my shoes. I remember buying a pair of leather shoes from Timberland. They never lasted me for more than a year and a half. That was when I started to look elsewhere and I came across Red Wing shoes. I ended up getting the classic 875 and even after one and a half years, they go strong.
Anyway, I reiterate that I'm not a fashion guy. So I'm now looking for some inspiration on how to combine my 555N, Red Wing 875 with a proper shirt. Which shirts go good with this combination. What do you guys think?

Buffalo check, heavy flannel.

After almost a week of wearing the 555N, I have the feeling that the portion between the waist and the thigh is a bit loose for me. I would like to know if there is any possibility to get it altered. It does not look bad as is when I wear it, but it would be a lot better if I could get that portion to be a bit tighter. Any suggestions?

I'd stick with them for another couple of weeks, they might settle down into a better shape on you with a bit more wear.

That's sound advice. Wear them hard a few weeks. Let them become friends with you. They'll soften and sit on you totally differently.
-
Ok! I will give it some more weeks perhaps and then observer how it goes!
-
Just wondering how these compare to the 21oz in breathing? Decent summer denim?
Love the dark indigo on these and weft!
Thanks guys
-
Definitely summer weight if you are used to the 21oz. They feel almost lightweight!!! 17oz is still wayyyy heavier than most would wear in the summer unless you are an IH fan!

The rear rise is where I have the problem with my 555N. It is a bit bigger for my body size. I just compared the sizes for waist 32 between the 555N and 777S-14 and it looks to me at least in theory that 777S which has a rear rise of 13.8 might have fit me a lot better than the 15.0 rear rise with the 555N. The shop where I bought the 555N did not have the 777S in stock, so I could not try it!
I will continue wearing the 555N for a while and notice how it goes. If I still feel a bit uncomfortable with the fit, I need to get it altered for the rear rise.
