IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
Thanks again for the knowledge. I think it would be best to wait until they’re restocked in a smaller size since both the 21 oz 555 and 301 cuts in size 38 have a 40 inch waist. I don’t want to get a pair that will stretch out to the point of not staying on.
I support that. 555 in W36 should work.
-
I wouldn’t advise 36, looking at the thigh measurements of your current jeans. At least 38 will be needed, with still some stretching to do.
Ooo, shit, you’re right. I didn’t think to check. Well done.

Since getting tangled up in this obsession, I normally try to focus on one pair each year; these have been my 2018 denim. Having worn them for the year I truly believe these are twice the jean compared to everything I have tried previously; twice as stubborn, twice as tough, and twice the weight!
These truly are fantastic, normally after a year jeans are showing signs of approaching the end of their useful life, blowouts on crotch and knees, but these look like they have another good year in them… amazing jeans and the best cut I have tried... it almost makes me not want to buy a new pair for 2019, almost!

@DevonReviewer Nice job!

Just received my first Iron Heart last night. Can experts see if they fit me well?
As you can see I'm quiet skinny. The waist tag size I picked is 28" and the actual size is 30". There is still space for me to my thumb in on the waist.
What do you guys think? Do these fit me okay?
Thanks.

Looks good to me. How do you like them?

I love them!
One thing though, can I hot soak the jeans? I asked because there are some places I'd like them just a bit tighter.

I think they look very good. I’m afraid a hot soak won’t make much difference as this denim is fully sanforised and will not shrink.

I’ve personally found that putting the jeans in a hot drier,after washing,makes way more difference than just a hot soak. Your jeans will definitely tighten up a little, but will eventually stretch out a little in the waist, where you put the most pressure. You also might get a little shrinkage in the length.

I'll make sure I wear belt in case they stretch out too much.

More fit check:
I started wearing these jeans today, I must say these jeans are great. I like them more and more. the quality, what can I say, is top notch.
I want to get them hemmed though, they are a bit long for my short legs. I really have zero experience getting jeans hemmed, can experts here please tell me what should I be aware of before getting them done? and what kind of tailors are best for these works? I live in a small city so choices are not that many. Also what things should I tell the tailor (if any) just in case I screw them up?
*edit: spelling
-
Ideally they should be chainstitched, but not many tailor shops offer that option, mostly it’s just denim specialty shops. Where do you live?

Thanks for your reply, I live in Cork, Ireland.
