IH-555S-16 - 16oz Vintage Selvedge Super Slim Cut

@thomas01:

They are very roomy in the top block.. my only concern is that they are too wide.. when they are broken in..

The most important question is, are they returnable? If they are and you are uncomfortable in them, that's your best route. If you're stuck with them, they definitely look wearable.

They do look great as of now but if you feel they might end up being too big then try the next size down for comparison. The lighter denim should be easier to stretch than the heavy stuff. IMHO the 555 cut should be pretty snug at the beginning and then stretch to perfectness. I have two pairs I could barely button at the beginning, one month later I'm thinking I could've sized down pretty easily.

I would size down on those, they are a bit big….. they will stretch , it’s up how you and how you like wear then

[georgeel]

I think you can expect a clear enlargement at the waist, maybe a full inch, but they are sanforized and one-washed, so they will come back exactly like now at the first wash. As they are they fit you very well.
A Perfect Fit,  I would dare to say. [emoji106]

After a lot of thinking I gave them a really hot soak and a  tumble dry. They shrinked a little more. now they are perfect for me  :). Many thanks for your help..

Right on !

My mind is desperately looking for a reason to justify the purchase of another pair of jeans …

Frak, it's true!

Can anyone comment on how these breathe compared to the 14oz IH denim?

I would say they are more breathe than my 14oz OD

Agreed

[Jordonf9]

So after realizing I had a $50 reward code, I grabbed me a pair of these! Can't wait, probably my summer jean.

555 are underrated I feel.
The 555N even more so.

These look great, but holding out for the blue/black

…and the stealth SII 8).

With the large waist, these will be my dialy summer jeans and perfect for concealed carry. Glad to have this, my 18oz vintage, 14oz OD and my LF 10oz ducks for hot ass, sticky summer weather. Want to wear these hard this year.

@Dion:

But isn't that a bit of an overkill having 16 and 18 oz vintage denims which are almost identical?

Having had the 18oz Vintage and now having the 16oz Vintage there is definitely enough difference to justify both. The 16oz gets much softer much quicker than the 18oz Vintage (I’ve worn my 16oz 666’s less than 3 full days and they are MUCH softer already than my 18oz were after 30 wears. The 16oz seems to have a bit less character as well, not in a bad or boring way, it’s just less slubby than my 18oz Vintage 666’s were. I could definitely see myself justifying having both.
