IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
Sorry for sounding like a negative mf'er
Nah.. it can be frustrating stuff, I know.
I put mine on today, out of interest, and so you have a point of comparison. Full disclosure: I'm 6' and weigh about 14.5st. I take XL in most IH shirts. I have a big old afro-bum (thanks Dad), so I fill out top blocks to the max. In addition, if I fit waist correctly on the 555 then the thigh's are toight (thanks Dad, and rugby). My pair of these are W34, which is my normal jeans size these days.
I say all this so that you get context. These are snug everywhere on me but the rise is still high compared to the 634 and 666 (more of a medium rise relative to the 888). That is to say that at the back, the bottom tip of the yoke is at the top of my ahem buttcrack, and the top of the waistband is a good 4-5" over that. At the front the top button sits an inch under my navel.
Now I know we're different body shapes, but even so, the rise you describe does seem strangely low.
@neph I'm 6'2" and 15st9lb. Pretty average height to weight ration. The belt line pretty much sits at my butt crack rather than the yoke! Sexy look for a hairy 44 yr old bloke…not a look the mums at the local kids soft play will dig I'm sure

I'm not suggesting that this is actually the case, but that almost sounds like a pair of 777's with the wrong patch. I have the 555N and 555-03 as well as the 555-01 and the variations in fit just aren't that big. Very strange indeed.

@Alex tag size 36. I just measured the rear rise on my 03 and Ns. Both come in at 17" (post wash). My 01s are 15 3/4 Pre wash, so as listed…I guess 1" makes a bit of difference and I need to grow accustomed. I will still give the 02s ago one day. I love the dimensions of the thigh, knee, and leg opening of all 3 555s I have.

The rise does seem to vary quite a bit from fabric to fabric in this cut. The 555-02 seems to have a much higher rise, especially in the rear.
The rear rise shrinks more than most other measurements on raw/unwashed jeans, remember. (as it is bigger to begin with)
Right, but even considering that they seem to have a higher rear rise. My 555-02's still have quite a high back rise after their first soak but I didn't actually take measurements to be fair. This is just based on feel.
-
Soooo…having lived with and worn these for a couple of weeks now, I have to say I was full of crap. Now that they have stretched out a little it seems to have made a world of difference to how the rise feels. I love em!
-
That’s good to hear. Enjoy!
That said, it's been 27-28 degrees Celsius here this past week…decided NOT to wear them quite every day

I'm ordering a pair of 33's in this cut. In your experience (fellow members who own a pair), has the thigh measurement shrunk after washing/soaking? I've read with other 555's that has been the case.
They're coming in next week and the thigh measurement is the only one that concerns me.
-
As per the product page:
Sanforized and one-washed - no shrinkage to be expected (with reasonably careful washing and drying). The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear. All other dimensions that are put under pressure will have a tendency to stretch proportionately to the stretch in the waist
-
Got it! I guess I got confused a bit. Thanks for the clarification gentlemen.
-
So I picked these up in a sz 34 which fortunately came in a smaller waist size.
At first they were a little difficult especially with the thigh (looks like 12.5 is my limit), but now they've gotten comfortable after several weeks of consistent wear, they're definitely my favorite pair.
Evo pics after a few more months of wear to show a bit more contrast. Cannot wait for the new 555's later this year!
-
I’ve been wearing them fairly consistently since getting them in mid June. Nothing too fancy to photograph yet!
