IH-555S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans

[FlavourFade]

Can anybody say something about how much they stretch or give in with wear? Wore Mine for only three days yet (still trying to wear the xhsbb as much as possible) but they still feel a lot tighter than my 555 ducks which have about the same measurements besides a significantly higher rise and two inches more in the waist. Kneeling down feels like I am ripping the jeans apart

@FlavourFade . This is not a fabric that gives as easily as the 21oz or even the 25oz. It will give but it will take lots of wearing and persistence. I don't think you will get the same amount of stretch as you would with the 21oz per day. It will also soften up considerably but again needs lots of wears

@yannis yeah I don't know if it's the tighter waist or the lower rise that makes them feel tight even just walking around. My other 555 cuts don't feel that way. Maybe should have sized up, I don't know.

@FlavourFade I wear 555’s, mostly 34 tags and all have roughly the same measurements & fit feel.
My 555 19L (which are my only 36 tag size) however are for sure a different fit. More like a 777 low rise top block on 555 lower.
In comparison to my other 555’s a big difference is the rear pocket size (about 2cm shorter in length) and the distance of the top of the rear pocket to patch (again about 2cm shorter).
They took me a bit to get used to but they look OK and the denim is awesome so I’m happy to have them in rotation and experience the nuances of lefty denim.

@FlavourFade. Are the measurements similar with your other 555's? You cannot always go by tag size as sometimes the cuts have different measurements. For example I can wear tag 36 and tag 38 depending on measurements. Now the fabric is glorious and it will give younsome awesome fades.

…not only cuts, but also individual production runs. If I bought a pair of jeans 2 years ago and they released them again today, the sizing may be different enough I would need to change tag sizes.

Then there’s always a pound or two weight gain/loss that throws a money wrench into the works as well.

As stated a million times on here, always check the products release measurements chart to ensure you’re picking the best fit for you currently. Compare that with your ideal measurements keeping in mind that they may change over time.

Thanks guys @yannis @IH-GARY @goosehd

I sure checked the measurements and talked to the guys from hq... I am not a newbie to IH and raw denim

The measurements taken by me are very similar besides a slimmer waist and lower rear rise. But it still feels more restricting. Anyway I just keep wearing them and maybe add something a little more relaxed to the rotation in the future.

These run extremely small in sizes? according to the size chart size 34 are similar to 32 in xhs...

@cricca a tag 34 of these has an actual waist of 34.1 per the chart on the product page, so I would not accuse them of running small, rather true to size. XHS shrinks, which is why it is often larger than the tag size to begin with.

@cricca compared to my other 555s they feel the slimmest, with a lower rise than I am used to and not as stretchy as 21oz. But after wearing them for a while they are amazing, first fades after maybe a week of wear and a great feel on them. Maybe my favorite fabric besides the ducks.
