IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

[bijibs]

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!

36” tag
37.2” measure
35.5” inseam

I’m 6’1”

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.

RESTOCK

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.
Yek.

@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.

Hey @yannis. Thanks very much for your comment.

Just ordered my first pair from IH Germany. Tag size 36. Hopefully they fit like I’m imagining they will.

Performing in Iron Hearts always makes me feel like a million bucks.

just popped open a package with a fresh pair of 555's! seems to be a good fit. I have them rolled in about to where i'm going to have them hemmed. probably stack a little more i didnt measure

anyways, thanks to the IH crew for helping me pick out a good pair!

@cbmyles Nice. Looks spot on.
I dig the blue arcuates on these. One of my favourite patches as well. Need to wear my pair more (wearing XHS currently).

@JunkPants haven't made the leap to 25oz yet. I did try them on once at mildblend in Chicago and they were BEEFY. currently I'm wearing 21oz 634s. gotta make a trip to the city tomorrow to get these 555s hemmed up and i'll be ready to bust these ones in!

[JunkPants]

@cbmyles All in due time. No doubt you will love these, and even more as time goes on. Congrats and enjoy!
