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

Early June…

G, these are definitely raw/unwashed: I lost ~1,77 inches in length on my first pair and ~1,6 inches on my second pair after a soak and a wash. Additionally the raw feeling vanished after soaking/washing and they became much softer. And the most obvious hint is that the tag says ''raw''.

@Dion Thank you, I have just done a shrink test and agree, these are sanforized but unwashed.

I can never wash my pair then [emoji1] Also explains the consistent variation in sizing between these and the IH-555-01.

[Appfaff]

Yep. My old 36s were an ace fit. Washed them once and couldn't get them back over my thighs lol

[Haddtoo 555]

Worst part of washing any slim jean, that thigh. If I don't wear them to work they don't get washed .

I feat that may be the fate of my 555-02's.

Actually the best fitting jean I own. 63 days in (mainly in the Office) and showing first signs of wear by now. Unfortunately the crotch looks quite weak already, but that happens to all of my pants.

Excellent!

my 03s have had 2 warm hand washes, and my 01s have had 1 warm hand wash. The 03s had slightly more shrink but not much. Both fit great (both waist 36) and are fairly similar fits. Definitely now my favourite fitting IH jeans.

Restock next week

Excellent news!

Please note the measurement chart has been revised:

I am sure this has been asked. But why is the waist oversized in these?

I keep looking a size 33. But the waist is massive.

They are unwashed @spitfiredealer

[spitfiredealer]

But the waist won’t come down 2.5” surely?

This is what the product page says….

Sanforized, but unwashed - expect some shrinkage, possibly one inch in both the waist and the inseam.

Why they are oversized does not really mattter, fact is they are.  Effing irritating, but fact....

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah really irritating, want a pair badly.

Just didn’t know if it was designed that way for a purpose or mistake.

and copped!  Fabric is the coolest of the three 21oz iterations I own (21S, black, and these) Surprisingly comfy even before breakin/soak, even in 80F temps.  I'll get some fit pics up before long.

Nice! Excellent choice, D.! They've become my favourite IH jeans and you're gonna love them even more with wear.
