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

Nothing much going to happen to fades. ^
Well done Alex. Here’s hoping there is nice measurements coming for me

Just hang them up in the house to dry surely?! I wouldn’t be waiting for dry weather if I had a brand new pair sitting there. You clearly have better patience than me.

Sorry, muscle memory kicked in last night. Please note these will be called the IH-555S-SBG not the IH-555-03!

I have this iteration of the 555 SBG. So I wanted to post here and not under the new tag. I just recently purchased these off the outlet and have a couple fit questions. Waist is marked 30 but measures 33 so they fit at the waist. However, front pockets are pretty darn difficult to get my hands into compared to my 555 XHSIB. I can lift my legs practically 90 degrees. I can squat. So my question is: is this denim just very difficult to break in or do I need a larger size? FYI my waist size in the 555 is definitely a 33.

From my understanding they are a bit tougher to stretch than the 21s but they do if you put time in them. You should get about an inch of stretch in the waist. Sounds from what you are saying that they are tight at the hip. Maybe a member with more experience in those can chime in.

Thanks. And I think you're right they are tighter in the hip. Front pockets are almost useless.

Sometimes when I have jeans like that I put a couple pairs of socks (folded on themselves) in the pockets and sit "Indian-style".

I remember front pockets on a pair of 666 were like that when new. It wasn't tight in the waist or legs or anything, just the front pockets were like those Chinese finger traps when trying to retrieve stuff. They did break in over time so keep using them or try filthy's suggestion to speed up the process.
