IH-555-XHSib

[alexswords]

Has there been any more news on the actual release date for the IH-555-XHSib or have any measurements been uploaded anywhere??  I just picked up a new pair of 555-01 21oz and they're hands down my favorite denim, I'm wondering if measurements will be similar..?

Measurements won’t be up until around the day of release, maybe the day before. IHUK measurements are based on the actual stock they recieve so can’t be done until they arrive at HQ.

Regarding release date, you’ll usually see a heads up on the forum when they ship from Japan.

Here’s the estimated release schedule which has this jeans down for a November release.

FW18 Schedule

You won’t know more than this until Giles or Alex do. Then they’ll post on this thread.

Is it November yet?

I think the fit measurements will be close to the 21oz 01's.

No way to know until they are made!

I'm saying the same thing!

Kind of a weird question, but what’s the thought behind this fabric? I like the way the 3sixteen’s someone referenced here seem to fade with the sulphur black but I’m not sure I really know how the reactive dye will change that. I’m guessing someone had an idea when they came up with the fabric, or at least can take a better guess than me at how they might fade.

I'm picturing a jean that looks dark blue, but in areas of wear, black. Picture black creases, combs, etc on a dark blue jean…

Maybe it'll be cool, maybe not. We'll see!

[Giles]

The warp is rope dyed indigo, so in areas of wear, it'll fade to pale blue/ white (as the indigo is worn away and the white core of the warp is exposed)). I'm imagining high contrast fades because the weft will stay black (rather than the normal white) as the warp loses its indigo.  Time will tell…

I'm gonna need these in my life.

I wonder if they will have navy arcs like the 888-XHSib.

[Giles]

Enjoy your pondering…..

[Dion]

Actually both variants look pretty good on this denim.

Where'd you find that pic or info?  I looked and didn't see any info on that-?

[Dion]

@Matty123's 888XHSib sample pair has navy arcs so I am hoping the 555 edition will have them, too.

This denim is Michael Jackson BAD. As soon as I get it back from indigo proof imma live in em. Sweat life.

[Dion]

I believe no other denim can Beat It 8).

[Matty123]

Agreed, it’s gonna be a real Thriller to see how fast they sell

[neph93]

They make a great (Billy) jean. No doubt you’ll get them properly dirty (Diana).
