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

[bertoni]

Can anyone help me here? I'm searching for a slimmer cut and am looking at the 555 (01 and 02), the 666S and the Raw Busters. But I don't seem to be able to find anything that will fit me properly. I have a pair of 634S W34 that fit fine. The waist has stretched out to 35 inches but I'd like more taper/slimmer fit from the knee down. The Buster Raws will shrink down to a 12 inch thigh, like the 555-02 and I feel that'll probably be a bit tighter than i'd like. Will either of them offer much stretch in the thigh area? My ACTUAL thigh measures 25 inches (measurement taken from crotch and around). I like the thought of some 18oz really for a change but I don't see how anything will fit me right. The 555-01 will offer me 12.3 which MIGHT be ok. Any thoughts/experiences from other 34/35 inch waisters?

I have 34w 666 & 36w 555
Both are my favorite cuts

666 is a tighter top block and thigh, less tapered from knee down than 555.

555 is roomy in thigh and top block almost like 634 but very tapered from knee down.

Hey
Thanks for the reply. Looking at the sizing charts for the 555-02 w34, the waist would shrink to a 34.5…perfect. But the thigh starts at 12.5 so will shrink to what? 12.2? 12? That would be more than an inch difference on the thigh between my 634S. There is certainly room for some thigh reduction but i'm not sure I could pull off an inch! This is my first foray into slimmer denim territory and i'm not sure IH has anything for me seeing as I fall into the dreaded 35 inch waist "no fly zone"!!
The 555-01 looks like my only hope with a 12.3 inch thigh.

My 555 is 01 not 02 21 stretches like crazy and is not stubborn like the 18oz

Yea, if you want more of a shrink to fit denim, go with the 555-02 but the material is definitely less forgiving than the 21oz denim used on the 555-01. Just keep in mind that the 555-01 is sanforized so you don't really need to take shrinkage into account. Personally, I think theyre both awesome but the 18oz is a stiffer, more rigid denim.

By the way, Giles. That patch is seriously kick ass.

Thanks Mr D. It looks like my only hope of owning a slim cut IH jean lies with the IH555-01 then.

@derivative666:

Omg has this in sz36 sold out again!

[Giles]

[Finn666]

[Giles]

You snooze, you lose…..

[Finn666]

true story…oh well!

As the patch is changed, Is this one still exclusive for denim vault in jakarta?

[Giles]

No it is not.  That's why the patch changed…..

[derivative666]

Gonna have to get some 03 just for the new patch ha

[mr.dead]

Lol copped a pair of the 555-01s largely for that reason. With the 555-02 & 555-03 under my belt (lol get it!?) the 555-01 will complete the trinity. Denim perfection obtained. Beatles jeans are next on the hit list.

[derivative666]

Very nice on the trifecta

I thought the TW-666N would be my first Works Inc denim, but my girlfriend thinks the more tapered lower leg of the IH-555-01 will look better on me.

So a size 31 will be making its way to me and I'm really looking forward to finally having the signature 21 oz denim in my hand, especially after spending an unhealthy amount of time ogling it on this forum.
