IH-555S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans
-
Honest opinions, how are these looking?
Coming from the 666, the higher rise and roomier top block feels a little strange.. and I can't help but feel like they are puffing out a bit around the thighs...
They're my normal size (34) and I'd probably trade for a 33 if I'd bought direct, but got these from the marketplace. Worth keeping? I know the denim will drape better as it breaks in but I'm not sure...
They've been soaked already according to the seller.

@T4920 think they look good man! I love a relaxed kinda fot and are they soaked only or washed as well? They will shrink a little extra when washed
-
@T4920 How do you want them to fit, mate? I don't think that they look objectively bad, but if you were after a true slim/superslim fit then they may be a bit loose. If that is the case, I would suggest perhaps soaking them, then immediately washing them to get whatever shrinkage is left out, then reassess. If you're still not happy, flip them and size down.

@Alex Ideally I'd like them a little more fitted, but as @Heavy_blue said they'll shrink when I wash them! Ideally I'd like to avoid that until necessary, as I'd like these to become a high contrast pair (making the most of the stiff denim and slimmer leg) but flicking through these UHR threads has me fearing fade shifts...
I hate to be so pedantic, but you know more than most how idiosyncratic us denim-heads can be ahaha.

@T4920 they will relax over time! It will take a little longer then a XHS. The washing process is for settling the stitching/threads as well! I have the 555 UHR as well and i washed them on low temperature without the spin cycle and they didn’t shrink that much.. also over time the waist will stretch back to pre wash. I lost more in length then in the waist for example

@T4920 Fit is so subjective so generally speaking there's no right or wrong but in my opinion it looks like the 555 cut just isn't the cut for you. That or you might have sized wrong and may need to size down as long as the measurements still work for you if course.
I think you need a decent amount of junk in the trunk to make the 555 cut work. I never rocked the 555 cut over the years but recently I put on some weight with a significant amount being in my glutes and thighs and now the 555 cut is my preferred cut as long as the thigh measurement is on the larger side of its respective tag size.
Just my two cents for what its worth.

@manufc10 appreciate your honest response! I put them through the wash yesterday as per the advice here yesterday evening and after drying all night they feel MUCH better this morning. 666 is my perfect cut, and if I was buying direct that'd always be my choice, but as these were bought from the marketplace I thought I'd roll the dice! Confident I can make them work now they've shrunk to fit
-
@T4920 looks good man
-
@T4920 they look much better now. Glad you got them to shrink up. I dont think I realized you hadn't washed/soaked them yet. That's what I get for not reading the thread thoroughly.
-
that cuff looks familiar @T4920
-
@T4920 toky cuff is always a winner

hey guys, sorry for the noob question and feel free to tell me to FOAD, but doing the intital soak/agitation wont affect the fade potential of these suckers, will it? thanks!
