IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
Dunno yet…..But whatever we decide to do, it's a long way off, we have shed loads of this version left....
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.

My hands are blue! Wearing a white shirt was a mistake today… I
I forgot how much texture this material has though! These bleed as much as my sii's!
These are my 1st 555's and they fit my body type better than the 888's. Lesser rise and less thigh are good for me.
I'm 6'2" with a long torso, larger thighs and backside, and think these slimmer cut jeans are more flattering on me. Make my legs look longer than they are on my silhouette. Props to IH for knowing how to cut an excellent piece of denim!

Hey, was wondering if you could post a fit pic of your pair? I am also 6'2" with large(r) thighs and backside and seeing how yours fit would be helpful in my quest to find flattering slim fitting denim. Thanks in advance!

No problem.
They definitely need to settle, and need another hot soak.
-
wow those look great on you. I guess I know what my next pair of denim will be. thank you so much for the pics!

Another fit pic, if you aren't convinced. There's no question that 555 is my favorite IH fit.

So I thinking of pulling the trigger on these, I just had a question for sizing: I have a pair of Beatle Busters (IHxB01) in a 40 and they fit me really great in the top block, but from the knee down they were bigger than I would have liked.
If I get a tagged size 40 in the 555-02, will the shrinkage from the knee down get me the fit I'm looking for?

The two cuts are different. The BB’s have only a mild taper while the 555’s have a more defined taper and are narrower than BB’s down the entire leg. They are meaningfully narrower below the knee. Shrinkage has nothing to do with this as the material will shrink proportionally.

I pulled the trigger on these during the sale. Can’t wait to try these beauties on

Great choice. Let us know how it goes.

I wonder why there are so many left of these. It's a beautiful denim in a nice modern cut.
Same. I was worried with the sale my size might sell out. Glad it didn’t

Pre-soak fit pics. I think I detect a little diaper butt
(obviously a hem is needed)

Think the indigo is starting to go a little faster. Have heard that tends to happen around a year in the 18 oz and I'm closing in on a year…
-
Wow. A lot hs changed in the last month or month and a half. Really starting to fade…
-
12 months, one wash. -
Oh yes this is a beautiful denim. My pair arrived yesterday. I'll try for some pre soak pics tonight.
