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

@Smiladon @Lowlander my dudes. I have found that the only way you're going to achieve the ass and crotch highlighting fit is to size down to an almost unbearable fit at first… i'm talking sucking it in and holding your breath for the first week or so and eventually you'll find they give and stretch in all the right places.. Also I will say that the lower rise of the 777 will give you that more bunched look you're after but, you'll have to sacrifice the wider hem..
Once you've landed on the CUT keep a close eye on the measurements of all the different releases because they do vary widely, even within the same model. for example i have the 555-01 the 555-03 and 55XHSib all in a tag size 31, the 01 is by far the slimmest and tightest of all 3, the 03 is my favorite fitting of all of them, I'm not sure why but they fit me so well and the comfort is through the roof, the XHSib fit well but not as well as the 03. The point is, there is A LOT of variance even if subtle that can make a huge difference in the way they fit so when you do finally find that pair that "just fits perfectly" remember those measurements and you'll be on your way to peace of mind when it comes to spending the big bucks.
These are now 12 months old and they've just now started to be the super comfy jeans everyone talks about XHS eventually becoming.

@LowLander & @AlexSwords
I think I was just in a manic moment when I write that. But I did recently express the idea of sizing down to a 35Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dang it, that sent before I finished.
Anyway a 35 in the 555 01, when chatting with @oaktavia.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also had just washed too, so my thighs are tighter than normal.
Mostly was just wondering if the rise on the 777 is truly low. I tend to have more blow outs with low rise jeans (think Levi’s 511)
But thanks for all the feedback guys. Hope everyone is doing good!

It is low enough to show of my thong when I bend over, if that helps…. ahem.
You will notice a major difference between the 777 rise and the 555 rise for sure.
Otherwise @alexswords is right about sizing variations. The type of denim also plays a role in the eventual fit as well because of variations in weave and thickness (thicc-ness?), the denim will stretch and drape differently. All part of the fun.

@alexswords You can't get a better fitting pair of jeans. Epic fades also. I also am going to size down on the next pair of 555XHSib.

I have tried almost every cut IH makes and they are the only jeans I ever wear, but I think from a fashion standpoint none of them are really great for booty showcasing if that's what you are going for. Due to the location and size of the rear pockets which are brilliantly designed for carrying a chunky wallet while straddling a Harley, the placement ends up sitting lower than most other jeans and this creates an optical illusion which is not the most flattering even if you perfectly fill out the top block. Though the higher rise of the 555's does mitigate this to some extent.
