IH-555-03 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

[Jrei94]

What's up guys, this is my first post on the forum.

I have had a pair of IH-555-03s for a little over 3 months and just did a hot soak. They shrunk down a bit and I'm just wondering if that is all the shrinkage to be expected? I want to get them hemmed but I'm curious if I need to wait until I wash them before hemming.

Appreciate any help/advice!

I would do a 2nd soak

Got it. Appreciate it man!

Slow fades…... I find. But no wash yet, only a soak.

How nice are they with that shirt though? Lovely outfit @Richard

[Richard]

Thanks man. Heavy flannel. Wore over a hoodie yesterday. Perfect.

[Richard]

Looks like I can't wear these today

That is a cat of exquisite taste….

Hi guys just got my first pair of these IH 555-03 I got them pre-owned in fantastic condition for an absolute steal price

love them I’ve not stopped wearing them yet

only problem is the owner before me has had them hemmed and cut by the tailor

Luckily not far off my own size but the inseam is annoyingly maybe 1inch too short

Is there anything I can try to do to stretch the legs to gain that extra inch ?

There wasn’t much but I have already taken what was left of the old hem out ?

cheers for any advice

[Giles]

Not a lot you can do about that I am afraid.  Try stretching them when they are damp, but I'm not sure you'll get an inch…

@Alex:

@spitfiredealer and others, the new production of these was submitted today. They will be renamed the IH-555S-SBG and will be one washed.

This is super exciting to me! Love my 555-01 and need some new black jeans, so feeling like a pair of these are the obvious choice.

Maybe this is just me, but it's cool that they'll be one washed, too. Feels like sanforized but unwashed is kind of worst of both worlds - still have some guesswork with sizing, but without the "interestingness" of unsanforized denim.

Hate to be that guy, but any update on when these might be in stock?

[JJY92]

thanks @Giles i will give that a go

as i am wearing them in they seem to be loosening a bit , very fine margins just feel that extra inch would make them the perfect fit

What is your footwear of choice. If it fits your style, you could consider assorted types of boots then style your jeans so they can be worn with the hem higher up the boot shaft.

Any info on a restock of these?

But they will be called the IH-555S-SBG and they will be one washed - @spitfiredealer  - finally sorted this out!

[Kasi]

So no more unwashed, but one wash wonder what the difference it’s will make in fades..

[spitfiredealer]

Nothing much going to happen to fades. ^

Well done Alex. Here’s hoping there is nice measurements coming for me

Luckily to have a unwashed pair from the last run…

Just waiting for better weather so I can soak them.
