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

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.

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.

@Giles
any chance of a size 35 restock soon?

Ok, thank you Giles

@Oaktavia I remember when you got these and were unsure about them. I thought they would suit your style and mould to you, and fuck me if that isn’t exactly what happened. You’ve made them yours and they look spectacular. 21oz magic.
I'm glad I stuck with them. I remember looking down at my legs while sitting on my porch the other day and thought damn these fit me so much better now. Been wearing them every day for 48 days.

Really nice @neph93 . Thanks for taking the time to post clear photos like these. Nice demonstration of how patience is clearly a virtue for the 21oz.

Hello everyone, Im wanting to order a pair of these awesome jeans but I'm not sure on the size. I normally wear size 36 in mostly every other jean but they all are mostly stretch jeans. I have a pair of Mott & Bow jeans which I used to follow the measurement video posted on the site, according to the site's measurements they're the same as the Mott & Bow jeans but they do stretch a bit when I button them up. Do these have any stretch? I'm on the stocky side, not fat , lost 30 pounds over the course of a few months, trying to lose more. Will these stretch as well? I just don't want to order them if they'll fit too tight. How's the overall fit on these?

They won’t stretch when you button them up as they’re not stretch denim per se,but as you wear them over time they will stretch out about/up to an inch in the waist,but will shrink back up when washed/soaked etc. The published waist measurement is 36.6,maybe there’s a pair with a slightly larger waist,possibly even a 37 that would alleviate your fears about them being too tight. To find that out you’ll have to contact the crew at IHUK. Hope this helps.

Yeah you're right, I measured a pair of Kato jeans (another Japanese denim brand) and its the 38 I need.. Bummer I was hoping I could fit into a 36 lol

Just to be clear, these will stretch out an inch in the waist. Maybe as much as 1.5”. From new that will happen relatively slowly, over the course of one week’s daily wear, for example. As Jett says, they will shrink back with a wash, but will stretch back out again very quickly after that. Probably in the course of a day.
I know I need a waist around 34”. Next time I buy 21oz I will look for the the tag size that measures around 33” in the waist. They’ll
Be a little tight the first week, but after that perfect.One other thing I always warn people about with the 555 is the thigh. They are quite slim and taper meaningfully from the top of the thigh to the knee. So do check your thigh and knee specs before you order.
