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

@thincrustpizza:

Thanks man, what about the 666?

You're the second person to suggest 777 but on paper they smaller

I have the 777XHSib, 555S-21ib and the 666XHSib and I feel the top block in the 666 is the only tight you’re going to feel in it, all other dimensions are far from the 555 cut. If you want a mix in between, go for the 777XHSib, you will have the slimmer feeling of the 555 but with a little more room on the thighs.

My experience once I've tamed all three cuts is that the 777 in 25oz moulds like a second skin to your legs, the 666 fits your bum like a good pair of hands and the 555 in the 'lighter' format is like a pair of sweatpants that fades.

Using the 21oz iterations in w34 as a bench mark the charts give the following:

555: thigh 12.6 knee 8.3
777: thigh 12.5 knee 8.7
666: thigh 12.1 knee  8.8

So while the 777 has a marginally smaller upper thigh measurement, the volume of the leg from crotch to knee is greater. Ergo, more room.

The volume of the 666 is comparable to the 555 but the top of the thigh is actually slimmer, while the knee much wider.

Thank you guys, you're great. Super much appreciated.

@thincrustpizza somehow I didn't realize that when i/b forms holes, the black frays will show instead of a typical white. That's pretty awesome.

That's because the weft is not white

Wish I had the talent of y'all to capture the nuances of this denim.  Still wanted to share a few pics after a recent wash.  I've had this pair for a little over 2 years.

WOW - these look amazing. The front stacking/honeycombs are crazy! Are getting these types of fades only achievable from a '555' strong taper type fit?

[dinobarnesberlin]

I would say you captured them very well– you beat em up real good man.

@hoppy_IPA holy moly.. awesome

[hoppy_IPA]

thanks for the kind words, fam!

@leafscan18 Most say a tight fit is not required for high contrast fades.  Hard to imagine it doesn't help though.

IMHO heavy weight fabric with a high tension weave is a great foundation for those pearly white fades & deep, inky pools of indigo left behind.

@hoppy_IPA  amazing evo mate look awesome
I took a few pictures of mine yesterday, thinking about getting another pair but soaking them before wearing this time 

[hoppy_IPA]

@Jcaz6996 - Thanks!  You have some of the best fades Ive seen posted here.  Also dig your "buy less, wear more" tag.  It's been stuck in my head for a long time

[Jcaz6996]

Lol cheers bud ..
I’m sort of buy it all but don’t wear it as much as I’d like but happy I have it.
Like to focus on 1 pair at a time.
