IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

[cbmyles]

@CosmoSix5 yeah originally 7.25"! I've been busting on these for a few months now and they're coming along nice really trying to get them to 6 months before another wash. we'll see lol

I just got a pair of the 19oz lht 555 sized up to 33 for this upcoming winter aswell

[CosmoSix5]

@cbmyles patiently waiting for a restock. Hopefully this fall. Mtl I'll buy and wear for a few months and get the shrink over. Then I'll be sending them to Railcar denim for a nice tapering. My waist (35,36 depending) have 8+" hem's. Who knows though, this run may be different.

@grapefruit

Looks like they should hopefully be with us around September/ October time !

[johnlegion]

@Jack October release?

[JoshC]

@johnlegion Hopefully we are just waiting for the nod from Japan to let us know they are ready, fingers crossed it wont be too long now.

@JoshC 25oz fade to Grey black denim? Will it happen? Curious

[Oaktavia]

@johnlegion I'm not Josh but I can tell you it has happened already as XHSbb. My absolute favorite black denim but has been extinct for some time now.

[CosmoSix5]

I get a little tooo excited when I see XHS IB posts pop to the top

[Notchas]

Im always on the hunt for a pair of XHSbb.....would be amazing for IH to make this happen again

[moskiitto]

@Notchas If you are size 32 or below:

Can't imagine them doing these ever again since they seem to be so tough to sell.

[JoshC]

@johnlegion as @Oaktavia said it had happened in the past and but was abit before my time and it didn't have the best traction and ended up going into the outlet, so we probably wont do the XHSbb again, that being said you never know if the hype is there who knows what could happen, but nothing on the docket atm I'm afraid.

[V-P]

I would get them, no doubt.

[mecken88]

Anyone that have experience of shorten/hemming a pair of 555..? Because of the tapered leg. Do the end hem after shortened make them tiny wider or “much” wider?

I’m struggling on what cut I want for the XHSib return… the 555 or the 666🫣

I would probably be a size 34 in both options IF they haven’t changed a ton on the new upcoming batch. And I would need them shorten to 34”.

Anyone with experience from this?

[yannis]

@mecken88. If you are planning to hem at 34 inches the difference in hem width will be very small.

[Jett129]

@mecken88 I shorten all my 555s to 32.5 and I'm totally happy with them.

[mecken88]

@Jett129 sounds great! In size 34 the hem is 8” =20,32cm.

And I have a pair of old Wrangler Cowboy cut with a hem of 20,5cm that works great for me an engineers.
My current pair I’m rockin, have a hem of 8,85”=22,5cm, that on the larger side for me. I prefer a hem closer to 8”. Smaller is not and option, but ever so slightly is probably okey too.

So I’m trying to figure out where my range of okey lays. So 22,5cm is too big. 20,5cm is on the smallest side.
That’s why I was curious if a pair of 555 is shorted 2” to a 34” leg. If the hem would widen, and if so, how much

Otherwise 666 is on my mind, those have a hem of 8,4” in size 34 on the last batch. But have a significant lower rise in the top block.
So I’m really struggling to figure out if the 555 or the 666 is the option for me‍️
