IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
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.

good advice thanks.

good advice thanks.
Should be a fairly quick turnaround and they will do a great job on a machine that will recreate the original stitch. The only downside is you’ll have to decide the correct length yourself. To do this measure the inseam of a pair you already have, that are at a length you like. Take it from there.

Will do, Thanks neph93!

Finally got my 555-01's back from repair from the Denim Doctor. Reinforced crotch, with a small darned hole. small darned start of a hole on the thigh. My favourite jeans by far.

Just got my pair in today. They are super nice! Maybe it’s the heavy nature of the denim but my thighs feel tight. Waist is ok, plus I know it will stretch. Will the thighs loosen up and stretch?

They should give, not much, but I’ve had an inch or 2 of stretch on mine.
