IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

[Pufton]

Hi

I’ve picked a pair of these up.

I started off with some 21oz 634s.
I didn’t like the straight leg. Sold them.
Replaced with 777 21oz.
I couldn’t get on with the low rise. Sold them.
Replaced with 888 21oz.
I still have those although they are baggier than I prefer.
The 555s are a better fit on me than the other cuts I have tried.
These are my first pair of 25oz denim and they are insane.
They’ve now had a soak and are ready to go….....

@Pufton Congratulations on finally finding the right cut. It can be a test. Great denim too. Be interested to hear what you think post soak.

[Pufton]

Stiff.
That’s the word.
They’ve just taken me for a walk to the local Post Office.

That will pass… in a few months [emoji6]

Easily my favorite pair of jeans right now. Also the pair that convinced me to buy the NO-LOTs… and a pair of the last 555-03 SBG off the outlet (what?! they were in my size and only 270 USD).

That's an excellent fit. Very nice.

Thank you! Finally nailed it.

6 months today.  First time I’ve kept a pair dry that long.  Indigo is really starting to fall off quickly.  Grabbed a few pics before they went in for a thorough washing.

Those look pretty sick! Looking forward to the after pics.

Very nice Sir

I don't have these anymore as they just didn't fit right. I'm debating trying again though. Too much flare from the knee down and too high of rear rise for me.

[RoxRocks86]

Way to go!!!

[Lowlander]

@Denimminer I know that fit can be really personal, but I'd say that pair looks really good on you!

@hoppy_IPA they look good! It's nice how this fabric develops evo fast, isn't it. The process will speed up even more after they see water.

@Denimminer:

Too much flare from the knee down…

I’m confused… how can a tapered cut that drops relatively straight and slim from knee to hem have flare? Flare would happen if the leg below the knee got wider the further you went down the leg. Was it the size of the hem you didn’t like?

[Denimminer]

It was an appearance of "flare" that I got even though the knee was a half inch narrower than the hem measurements. Maybe it was the cuff bulkiness?
