IH-555-XHSib

[Jett129]

My birthday is in December,will be a good present.

[brobles]

I've already mentally prepared. just waiting to see the final product!

@Alex have you been wearing the sample pair since the photos in the first post of this thread? Evo-updates?

I know there's a separate thread documenting the evolution of this denim in the 888 cut, but was thinking that 555 being the slimmer cut might have more to show by now.

[Alex]

No, the sample is back in Japan I’m afraid

Just checking in to see if the 555-xhs is still scheduled for mid Dec.?? Or if there have been any updates for an actual release date? I'm itching like a junkie  ???

[Giles]

No recent updates I am afraid

[alexswords]

Giles. In your honest opinion, do you think the 555-xhs will be showing up mid DEC. still? or is it looking more like late DEC. early JAN..??  just trying to plan..

thanks

They are made and going through QC.  I reckon we'll have them in a couple of weeks…

my body is ready

I think this denim will create some insane vertical fades

@Giles:

It def will. I have  just started to get some vertical falling on my 888. I’m going to wash them this week and I will post some pics. It is not as quick fading as I thought it might be. It’s an amazing denim.

Giles, will there be any sort of prior notice through the forum that these are about to drop / go live?? or just the email the day of..??

[Chris]

IHUK usually gives at least a couple of days notice on the forum before an item goes live.

@alexswords there's also a form at the beginning of this thread you can fill out to get updates.

[alexswords]

I filled out the form but that just sends an email the day of the release. is there another form you were referring to??

Just to be clear… the form will enable an E-Mail when these drop. There will be an announcement in the forum, this thread included, when they arrive at IHUK. There will be a couple of days inbetween these two events while the crew pack them out, measure them, photograph and prepare them. There will also be an announcement, normally a day in advance, of the actual drop date and time on the forum. If you follow this thread you will be fine.

[alexswords]

@neph93 thank you for your response, that's what i was looking for. Having missed out on the first PIH5DCT drop i really don't want to miss out on this one

i'm still going back and forth on these. they're very tempting. my go-to jeans are 21oz 555-03's and I'm unsure if I would be comfortable in anything heavier. I guess I'll make my decision closer to release day…

[Dion]

Don't worry about their weight as the 25 oz becomes very soft and comfy as well once broken in.

Hey dudes,

Checking in one last time just to make sure that THIS IS the thread that will announce that the IH-555-XHSib's have arrived to shop and not some other link in a different thread..  If it is a different thread, will someone please point me in the right direction? thanks.
