    @Kathrynnaomi:

    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.

        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! 😉

            They are fine in the summer for me, but the only denims we make that I can't wear all year round are the UHR and the 25oz….

              @Joe:

              Ok! I will give it some more weeks perhaps and then observer how it goes!

              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.

                My advice would be to wear them a bit more to make sure that the cut doesn't work for you.  If you continue to feel this way after a couple weeks, then I would just sell them and buy the 777s.  Those kind of alterations aren't worth it, in the end.  You may take a bit of a loss in the exchange, but you will save a lot of time and headache.

                If you find the right fit, it will all be worth it, too.

                  Anyone got any pics of a well worn pair of these?

                    Theses are my TW-666N.  It's effectively the same denim (same warp, but slightly whiter weft) as the IH-555N:

                          Look amazing, if I hadn't recently bought some 555-01 I would be all over these.

                          Copped a previously tried pair!

                            Would you guys recommend a soak so that I could shrink the denim a bit? It is now just under 2 weeks that I have been wearing it continuously and I'm constantly annoyed by the slight looseness at the back. There is no fault with the denim, but my butt is tad small!

                              Try a hot soak. Or even a warm machine wash (without spinning). I find that my jeans always tighten up a bit after I wash them.

                                They will, but they'll stretch back out quickly….

                                  Start doing squats.  Only way to fix that is bigger glutes.

                                      Yes.  Probably a week or 2

                                          Are there more on the way, or is that all for a while?
