            I just got a pair of these in 38 and they fit perfectly. Can't wait to rock them once I get them hemmed a couple inches. It's shocking how light they feel after wearing my 21 oz 301s for the past month. Perfect warm weather jeans.

              Good man. Be good to hear how this denim operates in the real world.

                      The denim is a really unique shade of blue and they're easily the most breathable pair of jeans I currently own. The little bits of vertical lines coming in are my favorite aspect of the fades so far. I'll be sad when it gets cooler and I switch to heavier weight denim. These are THE summer pair of Iron Heart, in my opinion.

                        Yup, this is shaping up to be one of my favorite IH fabrics. I liked my 666 so much I ended up getting a pair of these when they hit the outlet even though tapered cuts usually aren't my thing. I have to wonder why it didn't find much traction.

                          Especially since it’s really the only IH denim that’s comfortable above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. I wish I had bought a backup pair of 666’s.  😞

                            Figure I'd contribute to the forum rather than just asking for advice. Here's my pair which I've worn pretty much solid Mon-Fri since Mar/Apr of this year. 3-4 washes, no soaks.

                            Terrible pic, sorry. Will try and get a better one soon.

                              Nice! Looks like the 16oz is going to fade similarly to the 18oz. Also looks like it’s going to develop more character with wear like the 18oz does.

                                Just received the 555S-16 few days ago, superb quality and hemming, very fast shipment and pleasant experience with Iron Heart UK.

                                Quite snug and hopefully it will stretch more especially on the thigh area.

                                Was wondering how will the stretch level of the 16oz ? As stretchable as the signature 21oz ?

                                  I can’t speak specifically to this denim, but the 18oz vintage stretched readily. Thigh stretch is a thing but only in proportion to the measurement so you’ll get .5” at the best. I’d say after 10-20 days of wear you’ll be at max stretch.

                                  Show us a fit pic!

                                    Have any of you soaked the 555s-16 in hot water and dried on high heat? I'm curious as to max shrinkage for sizing purposes. I found a once-worn pair in a size larger than I'd normally wear.

                                      These are fully sanforised so there will be very little shrinkage available, if any. Sanforisation is a pretty brutal process. The hand and colour of the denim may also be affected negatively with that kind of treatment.  Any shrinkage you get would stretch right back out again with wear.

                                        I was hoping otherwise. I've experienced mixed results with other brands of sanforized selvedge jeans.

                                          It’s worth noting that even sanforised denim can be expected to shrink 3-5%, but that will come back after the first wear.

                                          I can’t speak to the qualities of the 16oz specifically as I don’t own a pair. I do know the vintage 18oz which has a similar construction, was very resistant to shrinkage through those methods. If you compare the IHSH-177 and it’s overdyed brother the IHSH-178, you’ll see only marginal differences in measurements. Over dying dishes out a far more brutal shrinking treatment than a washing machine/dryer could ever be made to.

                                          Most IH denim I’ve had responds this way, especially the 21oz. My opinion is you’d be taking a big risk buying a size too big and trying to shrink them.

                                          Perhaps @xtcclassic could chip in, I believe he has experience with the 16oz…

                                            I’ve never tried shrinking mine, I hand wash my jeans in warm water and let them hang dry. I don’t recall whether mine shrink at all with their first wash though I imagine they did a bit. Certainly nothing significant though, I would have remembered that.
