IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
2 weeks in, 1 soak after 1 week. Tag 32.
Struggled with the buttons for a couple of days, now all good.Don’t mind to shrink for half an inch every where, but happy to keep it as it is for another 6 months before going in the washing machine.
I have read through this 70 pages of info twice before I jumped in. (Special thanks to Graham for helping in sizing)
Look forward for the long journey with IH.

Very nice fit. Depending in the length and warmth of your soak, there may not be any shrink left, but they look great as they are imho.
Probably from this angle you may some room in the top block to spare.
Not complaining, makes the wearing more pleasant. I do love the colour.
I did with room temp water for an hour just to soften a bit.

The 555 top block is roomy compared to the 777 so that looks about right. It is a relaxed, (but still sharp), slim tapered fit. Nice to know these threads still work as useful resources.
From behind to make it complete.
Great treasure of resources here no doubt.

Great stuff @Mustafa911 love how it’s still that deep, dark saturated indigo with pops of electric blue

What an amazing transformation on these 555 XHSib! Great look! The jacket is also coming along nicely, along with the shirt. Love the year in this outfit theme
Is the jacket a Lee? -
Oh I see the red W now

Thanks @Smiladon! The jacket is the now sadly extinct ih-101j, which is the IH interpretation of the Lee Rider Jacket. I wear it a lot, both inside and outside the house. It's probably my most loved IH piece!

I can see why. The fit is fantastic and the evolution, especially on the arms is jaw dropping!

We are rerunning this jacket in the 18oz vintage selvedge indigo denim. We should have the first sample here this week….

Awesome! I think a lot of people will be very happy to hear that.

Great combo! I’m almost 99% sure my next pair of jeans will be the 666s in that same denim

Looking at @Lowlander s jacket I can see it doesn’t have hand warmers. And I don’t see how you could include hand warmers without messing up the stitching coming down from the chest pockets.
