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

@FlavourFade how is the flat head denim deodorant? I’ve come across this recently and was contemplating giving it a go
-
@DeeDee85 it's nice to have for extendind the time between washes, but the smell of the deodorant itself takes getting used to. I put it on in the evening and in the morning the denim smells neutral. But in my experience it's not really doing a lot for areas that get more in contact with sweat like the pits, when they start to smell the spray will help for a couple of hours but not neutralize completely, since it's not really an aggressive mixture... But for pants it's nice to give them a fresh feel for the next day of work.
-
@FlavourFade thanks for the info, I’ll have a good think about that then before parting with the cash.

have this pair of 555 lefties stashed in the closet, size 33. ordered when the purple UHF's dropped recently. gonna have them hemmed to 33 length and rock them uncuffed soon! sizing up gave me some breathing room so these ones will be more comfy than my current pair of 555 xhsib (size 30, punk rock fit!)
