@Kasi Thanks!

When in doubt it's always good to double check with the oracle.

[Pantau]

just ordered it, I'm happy

[Pantau]

Thanks to @Bailey for the great service, So Long Taoufik

[Bailey]

@Pantau No worries man, see you in Hamburg!

Pulled the trigger! These will be my indigo invitational pair. Thanks Graham for finding me a pair with a little more wiggle room in the thighs!

[Kasi]

Graham a true pro

Well I have 555-03 black Mamba
Last batch before the 555 sbg came in.

So I can see the difference between them 555-03 are rigged little stubborn. The sbg are mega softer.
Am thinking I had pair of over dyed for one minute.

[Daniel San]

interesting Mo , thought it was the same and just the name changed

[Kasi]

Well Mo has history with IH over ten years or so.

555-03 know for unwashed.

@Kasi that’s not the OG IH-555-03 though is it mate ?

My first pair I sold were to big and they looked like this ..

[Kasi]

@Jcaz6996

Yes they are the
patch was change on last batch. Third time.

8 years ago you had a choice, other one was denim vault

[choco]

Yeah, I had a pair of the 03 in a 30 waist. I could make them work, but even when I was super fit they were a challenge. The new sizing seems pretty close to my 8301, but with a bit wider waist. Hoping the size up to 31 works out!

a shot in them way back in 2019 with my little guy!

[choco]

Well…that was a fail. My pair just got here today and I’m not sure how it changed this much
I can even get them up to my waist! Went a size larger than my previous pair, and compared the sizing to my current 8301s which was very similar (and fits well).
Looks like I’ll be eating the return shipping…

Any chance of just having the purchase applied to the upcoming 888 SBG?

[AdamJ]

@choco When you place your order for the return shipping, you can leave a note requesting that we issue you store credit upon receipt of your original order, you can then use this to purchase the 888.

Interesting to hear the fabric in the new fabric is softer. I have the 555 03 and, three years in, and a lot of wear, the fabric is still rigid at the top of the thighs. It’s not a size thing. It’s just armour.

[Elephantricity]

@Richard I had purchased my first 25oz about a year ago, and got 21oz 666 8 months ago in SBG. They are night and day compared to how soft they are vs the indigo 25oz. I've also noticed the same between my denim western shirt 18oz ind vs denim shirt 18oz ind od. The OD is MUCH softer.

Just got these in today. First pair of SBG. Very comfortable right from the get go. Fairly tight knee measurements on these, but worked out well for me. Looking forward to putting these to use in the coming weeks.

[Daniel San]

Ordered today very curious…
Think I had my last pair of black jeans 30 years ago ….

[Daniel San]

BooM
first time 555 for me , first SBG !
fit is good, they need a little stretch at thighs but not much . the SBG feels already pretty soft .

[Daniel San]

Super happy how creases set
after around 40 hours wear they get better and better , got a good amount of stretch at the right places so I am sure they end up perfect. Was very picky to iron out the folding creases to make sure there will be no vertikal lines at the folding creases.
