IH-555-03 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

[superfuzz]

I sized down to 26 from my regular 28 to get a 28" waist on these. I can button them up but the entire top block feels pretty damn thight. Does the SBG denim stretch as much as the regular 21oz denim? If so I should be golden.

[Giles]

Yes…

Thanks G! And thanks Matt for measuring a few different pairs to get me sorted. IH seriously has the best customer service on the planet.

[Dion]

That's a seriously nice fit! Evo will be amazing, too!

[Giles]

Thank YOU…...

I'm taking these to Self Edge today to get hemmed. I wore them for a few hours the last couple evenings and I think they are going to stretch out just fine. Not sure what will happen once I wash them, but I'll probably just hand wash them cold anyway since the washing machine in my apartment building is horrible. I think I've found my perfect cut in the 555. It fits way better in the top black than my 301s.

@superfuzz:

1. Not sure what will happen once I wash them…

2. It fits way better in the top black than my 301s.

1. I have the BB's in the same fabric. There is decent stretch to be had and what little shrinkage you get stretches straight back out again.

2. This is my experience. The low rise and roomy top block of the 301 isn't for everyone. 555 is smarter imho.

Thanks Neph for the words of encouragement!

What are you thinking? feels a bit tight, but with 1 inch of stretch it should be ok.

[Giles]

They'll stretch no probs

Anyone have luck sizing down on these from their 666XHS size?  I wear a 36 in XHS (smallest I can get over my thighs, although the waist is no issue) and the 34 in the 555-03 have the same thigh measure and the waist I want pre stretch… thinking I might be able to handle the smaller knee with stretch, as long as (and Sam agrees) I can get them over my knees lol Don't have anything as slim to compare against in my closet, so it's a guessing game right now.

anyone need to talk me out of this idea? lol

I don't have a pair of these but I recently bought a pair of 3sixteen's with a much smaller knee than I am used too. While I really like the slim profile, I still find myself sagging them a little to allow a bit of extra room in the knee area.
What I am trying to get at is you might find yourself wearing them a little differently than your usual kinda jeans.

Thanks for the info Spitfire! I'm thinking if I get them, I'll
Play it safe rather than sorry ha

Just bought a pair of these based on the same reasoning as yours (my XHS are W35 I bought the W34 in 555's). The taper from thigh to knee is brutal. I've only worn mine for an evening out, so no stretch yet but these will always be snug on me and I expect record fast crotch blowout. Despite all this I kinda love 'em.

[Appfaff]

That helps to decide my fate lol i could not even think about fitting into a 35 in the XHS

My 36s are a bit too big in the waist. I got them to try and mitigate the thigh/knee tightness, and went too far. Shoulda gone for the 34.

Thanks for the input guys- @sam found me some 666SBG that we think will work best
