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

[Giles]

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.

Need to get pics of my SBG BB’s up some day. They are well worn even ID I say so myself.

[Dishelveled]

Cheers, Dion!  And absolutley Neph, please do snap some pics!

Warm soaked in the shower and worn dry–feel like this fit is the most dialed in of any jeans I own; really liking it right off the bat!

Great fit @Dishelveled those look real slick!

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah they look great @Dishelveled did you size down?

[UnTucked]

Damn good fit, Bro!!!

[Alex]

I wonder where you got those @Dishelveled 

Look great!

[Dishelveled]

Thanks so much guys! Def happy with the fit.  The fabric settled quite a bit after the soak–esp at the cuffs.

@spitfiredealer yes, sized down to a 31 as my waist was swimming in the one 32 I tried on.

@alex Like I wasn't in enough trouble with my IH obsession before you moved into Seattle--Absolute lost cause now!

Copped my pair in-store at Division Road today to celebrate their carrying of IH goods.

They get to join the rotation with my IH-555S-BLK and IH-555-01s. I'm very f'n partial to black though, and they'll likely become the rotation.

I have been looking at these for weeks, I am planning on getting some to wear in the office and will be tucking a shirt in, so I am thinking the slightly more generous sizing will work for me. I have some 32's in the 555-01, and am looking at the 32's in the 555-03, they have a 34.0 and 34.4 waist respectively, which I think will work in the way I want to wear them…

... the one slight dilemma I have is the rise, the 555-03 have best part of half an inch extra on the front and an inch at the back... in the past I have found this gives the feeling of a tighter waist band...

... any one found this when comparing the to 555-1 cut?

Best regards,
Chris

On the next run what are the chances of getting the waist to the correct tag size?

I initially thought we would stay with the same sizing as that is effectively what they have always been.  Upon reflection, we may teak a bit, but The IH-555-01 1nd IH-555-03 need to stay similar to each other

[Dion]

It would be great if they could become more true to tag size in the future. I also think that right now the back rise is disproportionally high for such a slim cut. The latest runs of the 555-01 and 555S-16 have very good 555-measurements. A smaller hem for a consistent taper would be the icing on the cake, though.

[Giles]

I understand.  The issue we have to deal with (and there is no way of doing it elegantly, that have thought of), is having stock of 2 completely different sizes in the same lot number.  We can do V2 (like we did with the IH-526L), but that is not an ideal solution….
