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

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

@Daviddenim hey man, i can see what you're talking about, waist looks good but you seem to have a very athletic build. slim waist, big arms and i'm guessing big thighs.. i'm a SKINNY dude compared to you, i wear a 31 in the 555-01 and they also feel tight in the thighs to me.. I've had my pair for over a year and they still feel snug in the thighs so if you're feeling stuffed into them i would echo what @neph93 said and maybe check out the 888 cut as it's meant for the more athletically built. The 777 might also work but you'll have to size up to accommodate for the lower rise..

I realized today that these 555-01 are listed at "Back In" under new arrivals–-thank you for that, IH! AND that they are pretty much racing out the door. I would like to have another pair in XHS but 21oz, that is benchmark. So I was saving for something else but had to spring for these today because, well, others are noticing the same "better do it now". I also realized today that my car needs new tires and just spent the money on jeans. Ha!

They sold way faster than expected, we have another run in the works already

Think I might have to get a pair of these in the new year, availability permitting. My 777 14 just aren’t comfortable in the top block yet post first wash (after six months wear), and my 555-03s, soaked once, worn twice, are. I guess it’s the rise. I’ll persevere with the 777s, but I guess it’s finding your fit, right? The 777s were great pre wash, mind.

Exploring the cuts and working out sizing can be a struggle for sure. Finding the right one on your second attempt is pretty good going, and as you say preserving with near misses is always a good option. I'm currently wearing my IH-666-XHS which are five years old. They were always a little small on me and never the best fit, but having had numerous crotch repairs and being my work jeans for a couple of big, dirty projects they have been beaten in submission and are my favourite Sunday pair.

Cheers.

Hi , i found a pair of these in size tag 36 from an official retailer in Germany . I asked them to measure for me the waist size and they said to me that is 88 cm . The site here says that size 36 is 93 cm ( which is waht i am looking for). I know hat there are differences from pair to pair but isn't 5 cm an enormous difference ? Thanks.
