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

[Kasi]

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

They 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.

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?

[popvulture]

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.

Mr. Lou’s are designed to be worn with slim, tapered jeans with narrow leg openings. It is one of the features that separates them from a regular Boss boot on an MP toe.

that must have a very narrow shaft to fit under some 555s

[neph93]

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?

Here the Mr Lou are over a slim pair of 777s

I have a photo of them over some 555S-21 somewhere, will keep looking. The point being, that is what they are designed for, and they work under all our slim jeans

[Jett129]

I wear my 555s with all kinds of boots from Wescos to westerns.

[teddyjay]

thanks for the info guys!

^ what I thought. Thanks for confirming.

[Alex]

Over either the 555 or 777 (probably 777-UHR)

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.

@Kasi:

Car jack can stretch them

@neph93 his idea and it work gotta be careful don’t pop the button..

I don’t wear 777 any more find them uncomfortable

Me too. Have retired my 777 14. There were never the same after a wash, and once I wore a pair of 555…..

[Kasi]

I wonder how many more will go from 777 to 555…

Don’t get me wrong 777 look good... after a wearing for a while don’t get my
votes...  that what happen with my 777 25oz

555 remains the same a truly winner...

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

[AdamJ]

Normal wash, hang in front of radiator, wait four days, done

It’s still air drying if you hang them to dry inside the house.

[Jett129]

And then there’s Denim Rambler who would air dry his jeans outside in the Alaskan winter. Obviously he’d have to thaw them out after that. I think he took 2nd place in the Denim Fade Competition.
