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

After going back and forth between the 555 and 777 finally decided on these with a slight size down and I couldn’t be happier! Thanks Josh and iron heart crew! Obviously my pup isn’t as stoked as I am

Congratulations on that great score. I have been more or less like this, going back and forth between 555 and 777 and ended up with the 666, which seems to be the fit that I like.

@the246guy definitely considered that cut as well, glad it worked out for you! I’m going to have to try them sometime!

. Haha! I did a similar thing, except I bought a pair of the 666,777, and 555. Yes, a ton of money, but I fell in love and couldn't decide.

The comfy fit is the 666… then 777 last is 555 my experience over 9 years

. I am waiting for the "indigo invitational" to try the 555, but I would agree the 666, then the 777 for me. 777, for me, feels like I am about to show my butt crack at any given moment and shirts are harder to stay tucked in. I have, strangely, had the most compliments on the 777 though.

Is this new 555 that you purchases is for the Indigo Invitational? My 666 XHSiB that arrives tomorrow is actually the pair that I plan to use for the Y3 Indigo Invitational that starts in April this year.

Not necessarily specific to this model, but since it's an active thread I thought I'd ask here. I've had these before and sold them off for a few reasons,( saggy butt and didn't get them hemmed so maybe too bulky at the hem for my liking). I have two pair of 777 now and the one complaint I have is with my phone in the front pocket, where I like to carry it, puts it directly on my hip crease making it impossible to take big steps(think hiking, moving on rocks, as well as sitting)
Now as I over think things, maybe the 777 fit isn't for me if that is happening? I can't remember for the life of me if I had this issue with the 555. Anyone else have this issue with this fit or others? -
Never put a phone in a front pocket of a pair of jeans. Never have, never will, just damn uncomfortable….
Yep, and I think front pocket phone fades are straight up ugly IMO

Agreed. But back pocket ain't great for me either since I tend to sit on it and torsion the glass screen protector into breakage. My favorite solution is an inside shirt pocket like the shirt @nietenhosen made for me, since I'm not always wearing outerwear or layers with additional pockets. My wife has this phone case on a strap with a little storage called a Bandolier that sort of merges a micropurse with a phone case. I feel it would look ridiculous on a man (perhaps that's sexist, but I can't help it) and would annoy me since I'm not in the habit of hauling cross-body bags around everywhere I go. My compromise is to stick with "normal" sized phones like the 12 and just deal with the back pocket.

The rise on the 777 is shorter so the phone will sit at a different point. However, front pockets on IH jeans are not deep, nor are they very big. This is true on all cuts. In that respect they are not designed for carrying a modern smart phone.
I’m with Giles on this. Phones belong in back pockets at best, never in front pockets. Cpo/ jacket hand warmers or internal pockets all work. This is both for practical purposes, and aesthetically.
Best of all is a bag. My phone mostly lives in my IHE-39.

I actually made several cracks in a smart phone carrying it in my rear pocket once. Bent over to get something, pants got tight just the right way and CRACK. I knew what happened right away. Ever since then, front pocket.

FWIW the pocket thing is possibly a matter of habit. I’ll confess I’m a front pocket person (not uncomfortable in my 666s except when I’m lacing shoes/boots, but I agree with the other negatives). I’m more uncomfortable (in both senses) with sitting on my phone and don’t always have other pockets available, so for me it’s the least bad option.
Maybe Giles/Reuben need to issue an official pocket usage guideline so we can adjust ourselves before meeting other forum members in real life :).
