IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
I brought a pair size up and the waist stretch, become a problem.
Thinking now what…
Worm them non stop for a fews months.Wash them and tumble dry them, first time I have use a tumble dryer on jeans.
Now they perfect
Mega comfortableThey look perfect. I dig how that patch has darkened- it looks awesome. I wish mine looked like that…water kind of warped it...not a lot, but enough to notice.

I have patches that look all kinds of ways. Some darken, some stay in shape, some warp, some split. The one on my IH-666D is frazzled.
Sometimes I oil them before soaks and washes, sometime I forget or don’t bother. Personally, I love them all. Should do a photo montage of them one day [emoji1]
My point is, whatever happens to them it is all wabi-sabi.

All I did was worn them for bit the blue dye of the jeans was all over the patch.
Use Woolite Dark, fill the cap went in washer with the jeans.
After straight in the tumble dryer..
Was thinking of oiling the patch just been bit lazy..
They have tightened up more, what I wanted..
The denim just gets better and better.
But very stubborn to fade quickly

Wise words my dude. My favorite patch evo of mine so far is from my 555XHSib. It has kept its shape and has a rich honey hue.
Either way though…as you stated, wabi-sabi.

Great jeans with the new Lot number
Double cuffed these with a 2 inch cuff.

Just got my pair…slides on like butter!
Will a pair of Mister Lous fit under these jeans?
-
Hmm owning a pair of engineers (albeit not Mr. Lous) and some 555-01s, I'd guess no. Somebody might prove me wrong though!
Amazing jeans nonetheless, dear to my heart due to being my first pair of IH.

Not promising they do, but Wesco have narrowed the shaft meaningfully with the intention of fitting them under that kind of jean.
Actually, I can wear my IHWE-5 and my custom burlap Boss (MP toe) under 555’s if I tighten the top strap. So I am strongly suggesting it is doable.
@Alex care to chip in?

thanks for the info guys!

Just slipped on my new pair. Wonderful. Perfectly snug on the waistband, and top block perfection. It’ll be interesting to see the stretch. I want something comfortable. The denim is so much softer and supple than the 555 SBG from the get go. Thanks to the team for swapping these for the 888S, which really didn’t work for me.

There are no stupid questions, right? Do people tend to hold off washing over winter months? I really miss air drying my denim.
