IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

[GC]

My indigo snakes have landed…

So it seems the 32W seems to be about right, thanks again @Graham

I initially thought they might be too tight around the knee/lower thigh, but instead, gulped and decided to go with the repeated advice on this thread and just bloody wear them. Just a few hours in and they had already softened further and loosened enough around the back of the knee to feel almost customised. The lower thigh feels a smidge slimmer than my 555-03 and 555-XHS, both 31W, but out the bag this 21oz denim feels like my new best friend.

Q: I've never had any of my jeans hemmed, as I usually cuff to suit my mood and footwear, but I'd like some opinion on these and how they stack with my most beaten deck shoes, should I have them hemmed??

[Jett129]

I wouldn’t do anything to them until you’ve worn them awhile,and washed/soaked or done whatever your preferred cleaning method is. I,personally, like the level of stacking you have,going on,right now,and think they’ll look really good with other footwear as well.

[Graham]

Looking great @GC , I second keeping them rocking as is, as they look spot on and reevaluate after some wear and a wash down the road.

[GC]

Thanks a million @Jett129 @Graham Sound advice from two very trusted sources. I naively wasn't aware it could be done later down the road, talk about live and learn… I'll instead bash about in them for the foreseeable and hopefully remember to update the thread. Ta muchness

Definently have some extra room in the seat and waist of these after wearing for about 20 days in a row. I don't love how they are bunched up and folded, but they sure are comfy. I feel the leg measurements are better suited for my frame. Not the best fit, but I'm still happy with them.

Just seeing this now @Oaktavia I like them more now the denim has relaxed than I did when you got them. It's a cool look and it suits you.

OK cool thanks @neph93 I needed some validation. On day 21 with these 21oz.

Picked up the 555-01 with the restock a few weeks ago. Thanks very much to Graham, Adam and AJ for sorting me out with a pair with the right measurements. I've got the 555N too, which I love, but to get a big enough thigh I had to get a waist that was too big to start with, and has now also stretched. So I was keen to get a pair in this fit that wouldn't have too much room in the waist. These are size 34, with a waist that measures 35.0. Ideally I’d have had another 0.5” less (or maybe even 1” given how much they stretch) but with a belt this is OK. This is the first pair I’ve decided to have hemmed to no-cuff length (31”), which I was a bit scared to do, but I think it’s worked out well.

[neph93]

They look very nice indeed. Good length!

(Btw, you got something stuck on your face).

[Oaktavia]

Day 36 broken in and super comfortable. Wearing these daily until school starts, whenever that will be!

@Giles
any chance of a size 35 restock soon?

[neph93]

@Oaktavia I remember when you got these and were unsure about them. I thought they would suit your style and mould to you, and fuck me if that isn’t exactly what happened. You’ve made them yours and they look spectacular. 21oz magic.

[Giles]

Mid August - Japan do not restock them or sell them.  We realized the other day they were selling super-fast, so we are rushing another production run through…

[Daniel San]

Ok, thank you Giles

I'm glad I stuck with them. I remember looking down at my legs while sitting on my porch the other day and thought damn these fit me so much better now. Been wearing them every day for 48 days.

[neph93]

My pair… few hundred wears, washed a lot.

[babyknight]

Really nice @neph93 .  Thanks for taking the time to post clear photos like these.  Nice demonstration of how patience is clearly a virtue for the 21oz.
