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

[derivative666]

They are much looser than the 666 in top block. I would say they are most similar to the 634s in the top block/thigh than a drastic taper from the knee down. They are a great cut that is very flattering

Thanks for the info! I have the Busters and like the thigh but wanted slightly looser top block with more of a taper.

I just got the 555-01's in a size 36.  I love the fit.  The top block is a little tighter than the 301's.  With that said there is still plenty of room and my waist could be a tad bit tighter.
QUESTION FOR EVERYONE

The denim on these 555-01's is super dark.  I love the look but notice these jeans are turning my hands blue on a daily basis.  I've had this happen to me before with a pair of Flat Head jeans but never with any of my Iron Heart jeans.  I own 301, 555-03, 7301's and 9301's and have not had this issue on any of these jeans.

Any thoughts why it's happening with these jeans?
Has the standard IH 21oz denim changed?
Any suggestion for preventing this from continuing to happen?

Thanks

It's a christmas miracle!..

@gaze - any chance you could
Post fit Pics and sizes of other jeans you wear? Id also like to hear how much the thigh and knee stretches out after a few wears.

Thanks!!

I get a little indigo bleed from my 21s but nothing extreme - stains my shoes more than anything - and my brown leather upholstery in my car has a bluish tint.  It will calm down I'm sure - perhaps a soak or wash would help if it is a problem for you…

Denim has not changed and the 555's get the same treatment as the 634S.  But as I have said elsewhere before, this stuff is organic, no two dyes or weaves will be the same….

Hey Giles – i know you mentioned a few weeks back that you will be doing another run on these jeans... Do you know approximately when this will be?

Thanks a lot, and happy new years!

[Giles]

I'm guessing about 6 weeks.

[nickbh1234]

Thanks, Giles!

I'm somewhere around 9 months with these jeans.. Only thing I can say is god damn I am skinny.

[501IH]

JerUrsidae: Super cool fit for such a seriously skinny pair of jeans, kudos! Wish I had the same body shape…

[JerUrsidae]

That is really flattering I always wished I had bigger legs.

Hey guys if my waist is 37-37.5 isit possible for me to fit in a tag size 34?? i heard the 21oz stretches alot…so i dont want the waist to get loose after afew weeks of wearing.

[JamesMarg]

Unless you have really skinny legs, that will be crazy skinny!

[noobzpro]

This is my current best fit jeans which i love

Waist 37.5
Front rise 11
Back rise 15
Thigh 13
Knee 9
Leg opening 7.8

I feel legs wise should be ok. Only worried about the waist

[derivative666]

So get size 36. Anything smaller will not fit you.

[Bluegrass]

I agree, size down to 36, you will like it…

[JamesMarg]

It sounds like noobz wants a smaller leg opening.
Is that why you want to size down?

I was just observing that 8" at the opening on the 36s is only .2" more than his favorites, the thigh (12.8") and knee (8.5") are both a bit slimmer than his favorites, and the waist is basically a perfect fit.
