IH-555-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Cut Jeans - Black/Black

[Jett129]

The other aspect which may or may not be of importance to you is that they’re bigger in the butt, thighs and knees than traditional 21OZ 555s. I have the IH diaper butt, the thighs and knees are baggy as well,but I don’t care because they’re super comfortable when I’m riding or wearing them in general. Maybe the 777s will be a better option for you.

[Nskelton]

Yeah I've been waiting to see the 777 measurements, maybe even the 666.

@Nskelton:

I thought I've read about marbling on these forums….It could also just be me overthinking this because I'm spending 450$ on a pair of jeans.

Putting jeans in together is only likely to increase marbling. More chance for a session and uneven distribution of water.

Marbling is super easy to avoid. Just wet your jeans thoroughly before you put them in the wash and wash on no or low spin.

You may well be overthinking…

These are definitely roomier than the 555xhs-ib. Could and would probably size one down but I'm already at the bottom of the bell curve. Hot soaked with agitation followed by 4 weeks of wear. Early signs of fading have started to appear.

Two words wicked, killer  :o

The stack fades are gonna be unreal with those

[Kasi]

Yes finally it not gonna rain today..
took my chance soak them.

Tying something new soak them first as @neph93 says get the shrinkage out the way
Pool of black

It like a mirror see the reflection of yourself

Had to clean the bath, before wife see it and says what the hell.

[neph93]

Damn @Kasi that is a lot of black! Hope you got it clean before your wife saw it

Look forward to seeing the fit.

@peregrine looks good . The contrast is pretty obvious for only 4 week wear !! May result high contrasts if you keep wearing for the next 12 months.

Same thing happened in my bathtub,rinsed right out.

[Kasi]

@neph93 here we go
Gotta say a I lost half a inch in waist…

Still got room in the top block... little loose but am cool with that. Very comfortable to wear no pain.

Right side not wash, left side after soak

[neph93]

Looking good buddy. They tightened up nicely.

[Jett129]

They stretch right back out,really quickly.

[Kasi]

Even if they do stretch out am not worry as much..

Cause they bit like 666 looser kinda of like that..

Might get more shrinkage soaking next time.

[Jett129]

I’m with you,not worried about the looser fit either. Mine have been hot washed and dried twice now,and after the second wash/dry went back  to their pre stretch level. It’s great denim.

Cop’d.

Thanks Graham for all your assistance!

@Giles:

I'm pretty sure on a normal day, my waist varies plus or minus 1".  Some times my jeans are a tad loose, sometimes perfect, sometimes a tad tight.  That is the nature of the beast…

With ya. Sometimes i button the top button; sometimes i dont.

[mikebarhoot]

Or cant… lol

[mikebarhoot]

Did have a question for these.  Will they have the same vertical line fading as indigo 25oz?
