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

About 1 year but probably 8 months of real wear and 4 handwashes

Thigh stretch is hard to come by, in my experience. If you're needing any more than half an inch, I'd say it's time to size up!

No can do, waist on the 38 is way too big. I need to check measurements as these really should be fine. I already sized up from my old W34 in the 21oz, but for some reason these are toight, like a tiger through the thigh. I'm blaming squats.
I may just rock the Motley Crüe ca. "Too Fast For Love" look for the hell of it. After all you're only 42 once

French summer ans farniente sooooo good

@superfuzz Pretty much been living in mine since I got them back in May. Much more comfortable for the hot summer months. Probably another month or so until I switch back to 21oz denim. I'll try and post some evo pictures at that time.

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.
Has already.

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.
I did soak them once and I find them now a lot more fitting on me than they were before. I like the way the denim has become - truly mine! Awesome stuff!
-
And by the way, one more question. Why is the 555N Endangered? Would this mean that this model did not sell as expected? What is the rationale behind some products labelled Endangered while others are still in Extant?

Sorry bad quality….
Spend some holiday in thailand, the 555N is wearable for me ( not too hot)

They look amazing! When did you give them their first soak/handwash? I am breaking in my first pair of IH (the 555n). I have had them for about 18 months but only worn them evenings and weekends so in reality probably equates to 6 - 7 months of continual wear. Starting to get some bleed in the expected places and would like to give them a soak but am worried once I do this that the fades will stop developing. Also, could do with getting them hemmed but want to wait until after 1st soak in case of any shrinkage in the leg length. Any advice to a newbie would be much appreciated.
