IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
@Mickey-GT Man I feel like we are the same. I sold off those black 777s I had and still have the shinakya 777s but there is just something I can't pinpoint on the fit, but I did the same with my 25oz 555s but now I'm back to looking at more 555s. I feel like I always get them fitting decent, and then I wash them too many times and they change SMH

Some new to me 555s along side my own pair of five year old 555s. Loving both for different looks, different events, different fades too

@edgarallanpoe said in IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo PREVIOUSLY IH-555-01:
Received them today and couldn't be happier...love this cut. Slim but not skinny and will make a fantastic option along with my 17oz 888 natural indigo. Anyone on the fence about these because they are listed as a "super slim" need not worry, these aren't skinny jeans. I'm assuming that most of us who are dropping $350+ on a pair of jeans are old enough to be at a point in their lives where that cost wont wreck our finances. Which also means...especially for us Americans...our skinny body days are a distant memory. lol I am in my mid 50's and I'm 6' tall and weight 200-205lbs. These 36" size fit perfectly, plenty of room in the top with a narrow leg that looks perfectly natural and not skinny. I hope this helps anyone on the fence for this cut. Now I'm off to decide which cut to get my black jeans in...lol
I feel the same way... late 40's - 6'1" - 215lbs. I bought some 14oz 777's as my 1st IH's. Then got some 21oz 777's. Finally arrived at the 555 21oz and they are THE ONES. To anyone looking for Iron Heart's, I recommend the 21oz as your first. They do the "thing" and they are not nearly as stiff as some others for that weight at the start.

Found a tailor local to me and it's been fantastic. I keep telling her to charge more...
I really put thought into this taper due to her lack of a union special. Then I realized that was incredibly petty. She will eventually do this to all my 555's. And for $15 I can swing it lol

grabbed a new pair of 555 from @Iron-Heart-Germany . checked if they work with the Clinch and now I will send them back for hemming .
Thx Shane and Crew

Fresh from UPS to New Zealand today, thanks Adam and IHUK.
Waist matches my actual and rest feels good, though when the knees and thigh fabric loosens they’ll be ever so slightly more good, better.
I wanted basically this exact look, not pencil or painted jeans so am glad I read through this whole 1500-odd post thread!

Posted these under another thread about jackets, thought best to park them here too.. 10 year old 21oz 555s. Had some repairs, new pockets, turn-ups and needing some attention to the crotch area.

My pair of 555s have an easy life (~100 wears/one wash), so the fades are subtle, but the softness and the fit just get better and better…

I just got a pair of IH-555S-21 and this is my first pair IH jeans so I am not sure what to expect.
My jeans are perfect size on the waist but a bit tight on the knee and thigh area.
This creates a discomfort and lock of mobility especially while crouching down like doing my laces or getting in the car etc.
Has anyone faced the same situation and do you think it will get better in time with wear? Or jeans will remain the same comfort wise so I should look for another pair provides more room(in this case what model would be your recommendation)?
Thanks very much for your comments in advance.

@hepyek. The 555 cut has indeed the tightest middle thigh and knee measurements from the other IH cuts. Do not expect a lot of stretch in those areas. You will get some but not as much as the waist per say. If they feel really uncomfortable I will suggest that you look at a different cut like the 888 that has a lot more relaxed taper from mid thigh to knee.
