IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

Shoot the top block for the 633 cut won’t work either, but thanks for the suggestion @manufc10.

Thanks for the heads up @Alex. Hoping the size goes down to 26 *fingers crossed

Edit: 7 months. Haven't washed em yet. These things are stubborn as hell, but also durable as hell. No signs of damage yet, despite quite a bit of pretty intense activity in them. Think they are really starting to get interesting in person, but they're not quite photographing as well yet.

Not sure what happened here:

They’re looking good. I suspect a wash will make a difference.

[cander49]

Thanks. I don't feel like they quite need one yet, so I'll just keep chugging along until they do. I'm not really sure how they manage to still look OK, filth wise, at this point.

I wonder how long till this knee blows? I'm looking forward to fixing it though.
These were my first ever IH jeans so I'll repair them until they disintegrate.

Great work, @Sam! Is this still a 31?

[Sam]

It is @Dion

After these are gone are you going to make the 555 series in the new vintage 18oz denim?

Interesting question. It’s great denim.

This ^^ ?

[Alex]

Sounds like a sensible idea

Is this 18oz denim the same stuff as my IH beatle busters 18oz that I have from 6 years ago or whenever it was.

Or is the version I have extinct ?

Beatle Busters are extinct, this is the same denim but it will soon be extinct.

Thanks, you are a handy guy to have around and very knowledgeable 

I really liked that denim even though I have not worn them more than a few times.

I was saving them for something but I don't know why. Mystery

Dunno yet…..But whatever we decide to do, it's a long way off, we have shed loads of this version left....

[Mnbiker]

I just bought a pair. This is my "going back to the beginning" jean.

My 1st IH pair I bought was a 34w 666s. I outgrew them and refuse to get rid of them. So I washed them and put them on the shelf as the gateway jean for my 14 year old son.

It boggles my mind that these aren't getting the love and attention they deserve, and I want in before they are gone for good!  Wearing these & my 888 uhr for now.

The damn things are almost too indestructible. You can't easily sell people a second pair if they can't bust up the first pair.   Here's what I'm looking at after 10 months of daily wear. Haven't washed yet more out of laziness than anything else. Maybe I will soon! Fairly hard wear, and no signs of damage beyond the hem. I don't think I've ever had any heavyweight denim make it past a year of actual wear without a modest amount of repairs, and I've had some crappy jeans (read: Oni) lose virtually all indigo and be pretty much blown out in 9 months, so these have been really refreshing.

[neph93]

They are looking very nice. Just wish I could make a pair of these work for me.
