IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo PREVIOUSLY IH-555-01

My pair of 555s have an easy life (~100 wears/one wash), so the fades are subtle, but the softness and the fit just get better and better…

I just got a pair of IH-555S-21 and this is my first pair IH jeans so I am not sure what to expect.
My jeans are perfect size on the waist but a bit tight on the knee and thigh area.
This creates a discomfort and lock of mobility especially while crouching down like doing my laces or getting in the car etc.
Has anyone faced the same situation and do you think it will get better in time with wear? Or jeans will remain the same comfort wise so I should look for another pair provides more room(in this case what model would be your recommendation)?
Thanks very much for your comments in advance.
Yek.

@hepyek. The 555 cut has indeed the tightest middle thigh and knee measurements from the other IH cuts. Do not expect a lot of stretch in those areas. You will get some but not as much as the waist per say. If they feel really uncomfortable I will suggest that you look at a different cut like the 888 that has a lot more relaxed taper from mid thigh to knee.

Hey @yannis. Thanks very much for your comment.

Just ordered my first pair from IH Germany. Tag size 36. Hopefully they fit like I’m imagining they will.

Performing in Iron Hearts always makes me feel like a million bucks.

just popped open a package with a fresh pair of 555's! seems to be a good fit. I have them rolled in about to where i'm going to have them hemmed. probably stack a little more i didnt measure

anyways, thanks to the IH crew for helping me pick out a good pair!

@cbmyles Nice. Looks spot on.
I dig the blue arcuates on these. One of my favourite patches as well. Need to wear my pair more (wearing XHS currently).

@JunkPants haven't made the leap to 25oz yet. I did try them on once at mildblend in Chicago and they were BEEFY. currently I'm wearing 21oz 634s. gotta make a trip to the city tomorrow to get these 555s hemmed up and i'll be ready to bust these ones in!

[JunkPants]

@cbmyles All in due time. No doubt you will love these, and even more as time goes on. Congrats and enjoy!

Cross-posting with the IH-2526J thread.

Received the pair a few days ago, perfectly hemmed by the stubborn crew
Thanks Bailey for the help with measurements !

Not much to say that hasn't been already here, but the flexibility and comfort from day 1 of wear while being such a heavy fabric is mind boggling.
Was really expecting some break-in difficulties, but I'm not sure it will happen.

The fit is reaaaaaaally similar to another model from another brand that fitted me not too shabby, but the quality here is on another level.
I hope you guys do good business for a long time, at least until I die

Some picture to help the looking ones eventually deciding on this one.
I'm 180cm and 77kg approx.
Paired with the IH-2526J duck jacket (also pretty much unworn)

Another for those digging the more sporty look :

Came across this gem in a slide show screensaver on the big screen. Lol this is what 777's look like on a tall person. The more you know! Rise matters.... The shirts also to big but the rise just looks terrible. 555 ftw
I only share pics like this with friends ️

I may be buying 25oz just for the drawer until these are finished in a few years lol. I don't wear them hard but I wear them a lot. Happy with the look.
