IH-555S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo

[SKT]

I think they look fantastic…and they’ll only keep getting better. Thanks for inspiring me with my 21L’s. They’re about done too and I’ll post about em in the appropriate thread. On to the heavy fall/winter weights!

@T4920 They look very different from my 18oz vintage, but your wash routine has really brought out so much of the crosshatch texture that I love about this denim. It makes me want to wash mine more.

[T4920]

@WhiskeySandwich in all honesty, they may be the original 18oz... bought them pre-owned and as far as I can see, both used the same leather patch...

Maybe @Giles could weigh in?

Either way, I agree that they look amazing

Not sure the 555 was ever made in the OG 18oz, and the fading looks vintage-y to me

The patch proves that yours are vintage, then. @T4920

[T4920]

@Alex Thanks for the info detective Alex

[aimes]

Are these tough to fade?

[Palmer]

@aimes No. This denim fades fast.

[aimes]

@Palmer Thanks! And its a lighter/brighter blue?

[Alex]

@aimes fades kind of like this...

^still my favorite fades of all time.

[T4920]

@october-rust me too, the proverbial denim dragon I'll be chasing until the end

[aimes]

@Alex Thanks Alex, it's hard to tell in the photos, but these are more on the lighter blue side?

[Alex]

Maybe a shade, but not drastically

[doubletee]

Stretched out a bit

[Daniel San]

Looks still pretty tight in the top block mate
How many wears?

[doubletee]

@Daniel-San only worn a few times for a few hours. Feels better than it did and hopefully a bit more stretch to come

[injunjack]

Re-Stock on these?
