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

[GC]

@Alex:

Currently 180 pairs somewhere between Japan and the UK in a brown and yellow vehicle

Any update on that brown and gold van @Alex ? A restock feels imminent…

[Giles]

They arrived yesterday, but we were super-busy processing the weekends orders, so we did not have time to make them live.  Likely to happen today.  But the sizing is different from the last production run, so take extra special care when ordering.

Ah, just as I was thinking I could finally fit my thighs into them after a lengthy injury-enforced squat layoff. I'll wait and see how the measurements turn out…

Thanks @Giles noted.

NEW CHART

[Yltas]

New measurements are given for sizes 34 and 35 but the shop page still says no pairs in these sizes?

[Alex]

The new stock is yet to be added…

BIG RESTOCK

@Yltas as if by magic ^ 

[Yltas]

I see, thanks! Sorry for jumping the gun!

Sizing looks great, I’m heading into a new territory with a 32’’, but just gotta say a huge thanks to @Graham for your help today. So nice to have a friendly and knowledgable voice in these times at the other end of the line Well done IH

My indigo snakes have landed…

So it seems the 32W seems to be about right, thanks again @Graham

I initially thought they might be too tight around the knee/lower thigh, but instead, gulped and decided to go with the repeated advice on this thread and just bloody wear them. Just a few hours in and they had already softened further and loosened enough around the back of the knee to feel almost customised. The lower thigh feels a smidge slimmer than my 555-03 and 555-XHS, both 31W, but out the bag this 21oz denim feels like my new best friend.

Q: I've never had any of my jeans hemmed, as I usually cuff to suit my mood and footwear, but I'd like some opinion on these and how they stack with my most beaten deck shoes, should I have them hemmed??

[Jett129]

I wouldn’t do anything to them until you’ve worn them awhile,and washed/soaked or done whatever your preferred cleaning method is. I,personally, like the level of stacking you have,going on,right now,and think they’ll look really good with other footwear as well.

[Graham]

Looking great @GC , I second keeping them rocking as is, as they look spot on and reevaluate after some wear and a wash down the road.

[GC]

Thanks a million @Jett129 @Graham Sound advice from two very trusted sources. I naively wasn't aware it could be done later down the road, talk about live and learn… I'll instead bash about in them for the foreseeable and hopefully remember to update the thread. Ta muchness

Definently have some extra room in the seat and waist of these after wearing for about 20 days in a row. I don't love how they are bunched up and folded, but they sure are comfy. I feel the leg measurements are better suited for my frame. Not the best fit, but I'm still happy with them.

[neph93]

Just seeing this now @Oaktavia I like them more now the denim has relaxed than I did when you got them. It's a cool look and it suits you.

OK cool thanks @neph93 I needed some validation. On day 21 with these 21oz.

Picked up the 555-01 with the restock a few weeks ago. Thanks very much to Graham, Adam and AJ for sorting me out with a pair with the right measurements. I've got the 555N too, which I love, but to get a big enough thigh I had to get a waist that was too big to start with, and has now also stretched. So I was keen to get a pair in this fit that wouldn't have too much room in the waist. These are size 34, with a waist that measures 35.0. Ideally I’d have had another 0.5” less (or maybe even 1” given how much they stretch) but with a belt this is OK. This is the first pair I’ve decided to have hemmed to no-cuff length (31”), which I was a bit scared to do, but I think it’s worked out well.

[neph93]

They look very nice indeed. Good length!

(Btw, you got something stuck on your face).
