IH-555N - 17oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Natural Indigo

[Giles]

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:

Thanks Giles and Neph93. Looking good! Lovely whiteness to the fades.

@organisys:

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!

[superfuzz]

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.

[Giles]

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

[Chris]

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

@Giles:

Early July…..

Is this restock still on as far as you know @Giles ?

[Giles]

Yes.  Probably a week or 2

They are in Kojima now

[Giles]

Restocked - all sizes available

[neph93]

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

[Giles]

That's it for a while….

@Giles:

That's it for a while….

Ok, thanks.
