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

[FlavourFade]

@RoxRocks86 fit looks amazing!! I love that the xhs 555 cuts are a little roomier than the lighterweight ones, my 555 xhsbb fit more like an 888 and that's why I decided to keep them after realising that 555 is not the cut for me. Excited to see what you do with them!

@Jord It’s a blessing and a curse to have too many pairs of denim in various cuts. I reckon you would do well in the 666 cut if you want a slimmer leg profile of the 634.

Lucky you with nice summer temps! Must be awesome being able to comfortably wear some of the heavier denims while everyone else is sweating indigo

[RoxRocks86]

@FlavourFade thank you! I’m starting to appreciate denim with a bit more room. Definitely noticing the difference that it makes especially in heavy denim like these.

Crazy how your 555 xhsbb’s fit like 888’s. Do you size the same for both 555 & 888?

[FlavourFade]

@RoxRocks86 same for me!! Always liked the fitted cuts but since I went 634 I never looked back, like how it looks and appreciate the extra room especially with the thighs since I started to lift weights again couple years ago.

The 555xhsbb are a bit of a unicorn, I sized them like I would size an 888 but they are just inbetween a 555 and an 888 and I love them

@RoxRocks86 The fit on your 555's is excellent!

[RoxRocks86]

@FlavourFade ah yeah, sometimes certain runs have anomalies in sizing. Glad you found your cut! Saw your pics of the 634, they suit you well!

I’m currently fighting (losing atm) to keep the gains I acquired to fit the 888’s & 555’s without any tailoring.

[RoxRocks86]

@yannis thank you! it’s always a gamble if the 555 cut will work, so happy it does with these!

[FlavourFade]

@RoxRocks86 thanks Rox!! Yeah I know a little bit about fighting to not have to exchange the wardrobe every season

After 15 wears. It’s getting there pretty nicely.

I was browsing the Iron Heart site late one night (as one does) and spotted a pair of these in my size. It was the last pair in stock. I was intrigued but skeptical, since my only experience so far has been with the 634 cut. However, after scrolling through this thread and seeing all the amazing pairs shared here, I decided to take the plunge.

They sat in my closet for a month, but I finally took them for a spin this weekend and I am so glad I did!

A few initial thoughts after day one:

The Fit: A bit loose in the waist, but comfortable. I will gladly take that trade-off given the super heavyweight denim.

The Fabric: After only one wear, I can already tell these are going to fade and develop beautifully.

The Styling: I decided to run them unhemmed, using a mini "Tokyo turn-up" to get some nice stacking.

Anyway, enough gushing. Thanks to everyone in this thread for the inspiration! Here are a few quick pictures.

@RoxRocks86 Now are you enjoying them now?

[RoxRocks86]

Hey @twin still enjoying them here & there for brief moments in ac can’t wait to get more wear in them.

Saw you scored a new pair. Pretty awesome seeing your different stages of evo of the XHSib’s.
