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

[cander49]

Took this about a month ago and forgot to post!
Left is Samurai 710 19 oz at 25 months (pretty decent quality, but had a grand total of 65 repairs by my wife by 25 months!), middle is Oni something or other 21 oz at 13 months (just terrible quality denim, had my first tearing at 2 or 3 months), right is IH-555-02 at 14 months. The IHs are by far the most stubborn denim I've ever worn and the only pair to not have had a repair inside a year.

My first pair of IH jeans. I've probably had these close to 4 years now and they're still going strong.

Excellent!

^ thing of beauty right there. Sublime in fact.

Finally put some repairs into these at ~16 months of wear. My wife put 3 patches in and did a great job of it, as usual.

Can't remember the last time I enjoyed looking at another man's crotch this much… These are a wonderful pair of jeans @cander49

Well, that just makes me feel cheap.  And you said I was special.

Good God the man's insatiable! Tiddies & beer I understand, but then the double handfuls and now this… ??? Must be the long days of night...Hot Ingrid has-I was gonna say her hands full but that only adds to the titillation I'll show myself out.

@Chris you are a beautiful and unique snowflake and don’t let Chuck Palahniuk tell you any different [emoji3590]

Picked these up from @manufc10.  (I didn't realize these were listed here, too, until after the fact…sorry bud!)  Thanks for getting them to me quickly!

Here's the first wear, post hot wash and line dry.  They took about 2.5 days to completely dry.    Overall, I'm very pleased with the fit.  I'll need to have them hemmed, eventually, since the inseam is as big as Texas.  I'm 6'0', and I have them cuffed 4 times.    For reference, I'm 160-165 lb, and I usually wear a 33 or 34 in IH bottoms.  These are a 34.  I could manage a 33 in the waist in the 555 cut, but the thighs would likely be too tight.

Nice @Engineer, glad to see they arrived safely!  Sorry about the mysterious spot on them and hopefully it  fades away over time.  Fit looks good on you.

[Engineer]

Thanks @manufc10 ! The spot mostly came out in the wash, fortunately.

Thanks to Chesson for finding me a good pair with the perfect fit.
