16oz Slubby Denim
-
I've not considered the 555s after trying tag 34 no-lots that had a 12.7 thigh and 9.0 knee that were too tight for me. I need a little extra in the thigh for cell and wallet as I carry them in my front pockets. The knee was just uncomfortable and restricting movement.
Appreciate the suggestions. Hopefully we haven't derailed this thread too much.

@pechelman fwiw, I had a similar experience with the 888 14.5oz eco denim a few years back. The jeans fit will in waist and thigh, but could be a little lose around the crotch. I think it was down the fabric being less rigid, with a tendency to drape a little funny in looser areas. I decided the 888 cut perhaps didn’t quite fit my body type, but still gave the jeans plenty of love and wear. I sold them after about 2 years for a pretty good price, and actually quite miss them.
I picked up the IHDR-502 pants last year which are also an 888 cut. Due to the ridigity of the whipcord fabric, I don’t have the same loose fabric issue. Seems obvious, but it made me realise that dimensions don’t tell the whole story and that fabric plays an important role in how a pair fits.
Also, I’d actually be pretty happy with the fit you got. Looks relaxed and comfortable.

I bought the 666 slubs, and the slubby jacket. I’m amazed! Best pair of jeans I’ve ever owned! I love the cut, the color, the fit, the patch, the texture, everything. This is Textile Art!!

Looks amazing! Same timeline for the 'regular' type III ?

Any plans for a blanket lined, or some sort of lined type 3 with denim collar?
True, so very true.
