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

[Appfaff]

@neph93 - thanks for the input on the fabric feel - it's definitely a new material for me and Im sure I will enjoy it.

These have been my go-to jeans this fall. The thighs are a little snug for my taste, but I sized down two sizes to get the waiste right.

Appfaff they look great on you. I have been wanting this denim for ages but I don't think the measurements will ever work for me in this cut.

I wish there was a 666SBG (with black stitching) in regular production.

Thanks dude. On paper, the measurements hinted that they would be huge, but the truth of the matter was they were quite hard to get into. I'll appreciate a little stretch in the waist and top block when it come and probably wont really have to worry about ripping the seems to threads..hopefully not at least.

Not too much wear on mine but the fit has relaxed somewhat. Such a great and versatile cut and the SBG denim is equal parts brutal and equal
Parts cozy.. in a weird way.

Looking really nice. Mine are still arguing with me. I'd have expected the thigh to loosen more than it has. I know exactly what you mean about brutal/cosy. The good news is that my SBG BB's are soft like sweatpants now, after a few months of actual wear (really need to wash them too [emoji40]).

[Appfaff]

I'd say it took about 10 wears for them to "give in" a bit…

I'm about ten wears in. But mine are snug, verging on tight. With the weight I've lost I went for a 34 instead of a 36. So the waist is great, the top block is fitted but the thigh and calves are Motley Crüe ca. 1983 [emoji38]I'm sure (read:hoping)  they'll loosen a little.

[Appfaff]

Yeah, I would have already ripped the 34s by now.  36 as a relaxed slim fit is a good choice for me. I might snag the 555-01 in the same size since the measures as a bit slimmer.

Gave my 03s a cold soak with dr brommers this weekend they finally dried. I was surprised by how much they tightened up and got a lot stiffer, but they stretched a good bit and softened up after a few hours of wear.

Picked up the pair of 34W from the specials page - the measurements looked perfect!  Excited to add these to the rotation!

Restocked…

I'll be 2 years in on these in July, and I've gotten in 3 hot soaks/hand washes in, followed by hang drying. Going to do a machine wash/dry this weekend probably. They aren't filthy, or even much dirty, but I'm starting to get to the beginnings of thinking to myself "Is that a smell that I smell?", lol! And, I'm curious what fades I have hidden under the dirt.

*Btw, my head isn't this disproportionate in real life, lol

[Winchy]

That's a great combo with the 13-BLK @UnTucked

The sizing chart has been updated as this latest batch is measuring a little larger than the previous one.
