IH-555-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Cut Jeans - Black/Black

[Mizmazzle]

@kkibbey23 these in the 555 are not as narrow as a typical 555…more like a slightly slimmer 888….which for me is pure magic!!

@kkibbey23 These in the 555 cut ,very much,remind me of my old Levis 501s.

@Jcaz6996 finally!!!

@Jcaz6996 - my pair have arrived in the Uk too. Super excited.

[Jcaz6996]

@Crispy-Heron yesss…. Just hope there’s No customs charges

[FlavourFade]

I did not have any charges

[Crispy Heron]

@Jcaz6996 - let’s hope not. Package is in Edinburgh (delivery centre) so I think (although I may be wrong) that means it has been released by customs and does not incur a charge?

[Crispy Heron]

Package from Indonesia has just arrived!

@Crispy-Heron finally!!! I'm happy my friend, I hope you like them

[FlavourFade]

Congrats buddy!! Hows the fit?

[Crispy Heron]

@FlavourFade - I think you made the comment about the robustness of the buttons on these. I have both XHS and Sib but my thumbs are definitely getting a work out on these. Fit is okay. Think the measurements will work - perhaps a little less room in the waist than I had hoped but doable. But trying to get the buttons in is a tiring, sweaty and painful task. Then we will go for the soak…

[Mizmazzle]

@Crispy-Heron you can stick a screw driver or some similar device in button holes and work it around to loosen up the button holes.

[Crispy Heron]

@Mizmazzle - thanks. Good tip. I have a handy bottle stopper which I tend to use. Currently trying to loosen up the top button - hopeful that it is working.

Next decision is whether to fully hem, partially hem to enable a cuff or not bother (mega cuff). Have done all three in the past, Given that I have about 6 inches of length to deal with, may go for a bit of shortening to enable a double cuff.

[FlavourFade]

@crispybeantaco I feel like I am annoyed by the cuffed fabric in the two legs touching each other while walking more, when the denim is heavier. Also I like black denim more when there are no cuffs and the red selvedge ID is a little too much contrast for my taste, so I will fully hem them.

But I think yours are much more fittet with a 30 waist then mine, so they look totally different and could be very cool looking with some ID showing
