IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
Start of day 12. I can't believe how comfortable they have gotten in less than 2 weeks! Very much loving the way they fit - definitely an "all day, everyday" pair of jeans.
-
@bobbychacha great fit. Looks like you’ve negotiated the 21oz stretch very well. Now comes the best bit. Seeing where they go the next two or three years. This denim just gets better and better.
-
@neph93 Thanks! Yeah, it seems like these landed right in the sweet spot - not too tight, not too loose. This is exactly the fit I was hoping for.
-
These are an iconic cut and an iconic denim, so no surprises that they sold so quickly.
My only gripe with the IH-555-01 is the lack of arcuate stitching (which I think is another iconic aspect of Iron Heart jeans, so it's stopped me buying these in the past). Clearly it doesn't stop them selling like hot cakes but I just wondered why they don't have the same arcuate as other IH jeans?

Do the knees stretch out on these as they are very tight?

They have the same arctuates but they are tonal. The genius is that because they are stitched with polycotton the arctuates don’t fade but the denim does. This means the arcs become visible with wear and washing. It has been done on a number of IH models and looks like this:

All 100% cotton twill denim will stretch when put under pressure. In the case of the knees it depends on the intersection of your body shape and the cut of the jeans. You can count on some stretch occuring but how much will vary from person to person.

555-01 are my favourite arcs, nice & subtle when new and a bit less subtle as the indigo starts to fade.

I got a slide of the hot cake went fast… my second pair feel little different to my last pair.
Feel like Nike tracksuit bottoms on.I size up from 32 to 33, the reason when I come back home in evening want
something little relax and comfy.After all day wearing heavyweight jeans, feel good that my legs are at ease and relaxing..
don’t have to put in the elbow grease to get them soft cause they mega soft.
Am out filling my wife car with Petrol, kids back to school.

Hi guys - I’ve received a pair of 555-01s in size 32 and they feel very tight mainly on the thighs, as the waist is fine. I know they have some stretch in them but I want to know if this is too tight from the start? I’ve included some photos below. Thanks!
-
They are slim fitting jeans, so I suppose it depends on how you'd like to wear them. Can you walk in them with ease?
-
@Daviddenim they look great to me and I’ve seen folks wear them tighter than that (hell, I’ve worn them tighter than that). However personal taste and comfort tolerance is key.
They will relax but they’ll always be snug. If that is OK with you then go for it, but if tighter clothing bothers you, I’d recommend the 777 or a sized down 888.
I’ll mention that if you are not used to wearing denim this heavy then that will increase your sense of «tightness». In that case breaking in these jeans will be about the fabric softening and relaxing, but also about you getting used to the heavier denim.
