IH-555D - 17oz Duck Slim Cut Jeans - Brown

[DeeDee85]

@Slash the 555 ducks have so far been the only pair I’ve struggled with too. I’ve got 5 other pairs of 555 jeans in either 34 or 35 waist and went with my usual waist measurement in the 555D... I could hardly get my thighs in them and really tight in the knee also. I hoped they would stretch a bit but sold them on after around 10 wears when I realised that duck doesn’t really stretch
These new measurements do seem more in line with other 555 jeans now though. I’m going to go for a looser waist this time and hopefully end up with a better fit on the thigh.

@Slash Hi man! The hem opening will naturally get slightly wider, the higher up the leg you choose to hem to. In essence, the shorter the inseam you wish for, the closer the 'new' hem opening will be to the knee measurement.

[Slash]

@Bailey Hey Baley makes perfect sense, thx for the swift answer as always, will have to decide now on the model.

@DeeDee85: Yeah no choice but to go for a a larger waist. Trick is to not go too big and get a messy top block. I might still go for a 777 with some minor top block squeezing to get a better waist/other measurements ratio

@Slash I can only get on with a higher rear rise so I’m kicking myself for not jumping on the 888D when they re-stocked

@DeeDee85 yeah, unfortunately I hesitated on the 888’s too. The tagged 36 appeared to be my perfect size on paper.

[DeeDee85]

@Aussie-Ben will you giving the 555D a go?

[Aussie Ben]

@DeeDee85 nah mate, the dimensions are too close for comfort. Maybe if the thigh was just a tad more. The no stretch of the canvas bit concerns me enough to sit it out. Size 38 is also way too big for my waist.
Can’t win em all

This batch measurements are great. Just fantastic. I already have a pair but am seriously considering these. The 35 would fit perfect and I'd lose .75" in the knee and almost .5" in the hem. of course after a hem to 33.5 it wouldn't be that much...

[DeeDee85]

@CosmoSix5 I missed out on having a look at the size charts for the previous batch, is this new batch coming up a bit smaller in the thigh? I was hoping to go up a tag size and get a slightly bigger thigh but if dimensions are smaller in comparison to the waist I’m screwed I think..

[CosmoSix5]

@DeeDee85 sorry! I don't recall

@Nick Nice duck fit.

RESTOCK

@DeeDee85 grabbed a pair of duck in 634 instead as the dimensions were more my size. First pair of 634’s too

[DeeDee85]

@Aussie-Ben fantastic, let me know how you get on? I went up a size in the 555D and asked for the pair with the biggest thigh measurement so fingers crossed it works out
