IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting these or the 666L. I already have the 301S and absolutely love them. For the peeps that have both, are they that much different? These seem to taper more and have a looser top block, but is the difference that noticeable? Since these are kind of similar, I thought about just going with the 666L.
-
Hey man. The 666L are not out yet. Check out the 666L thread on this forum for some information on them. The biggest difference probably being a huge difference in denim weight (21ozvs14.5oz). Also one is right hand twill and the other is left hand. If you meant the measurements you can get a good idea by comparing the IH-666s and IH-555. Final measurements for the 666L won't be here until the production run is available.

hahahahaha
sized 36 & pretty roomy, but an overall slimmer outline than any denim i own. could of done 34 & stretched them a bit, but my nuts would of be pissed. no hem (at the moment) as these are my sloppy any time fit. will see how long these hold my interest. forgot how nice the flagship denim feels on the legs. -
It's the shirt in that photo that really gets me…Gawd I love that damn sparkle western!
-
it is a great shirt.
can wear it all 4 seasons (if you get seasons in your neck of the woods).
-
@motiono - check the 301s thread for comparison.
having had the 301s, 666 & 555, i'd say if you liked the 301s go with the 555 as the cut is closer than the 666 - which has a bigger leg opening.

^^^On everyone´s opinion on my fit. The pics do not do the fit justice at all.
I´ve come to realize though that they´re a bit snug in the ass/d**k area, not to tight on the thighs or the rest of the fit, but I apparently got a "big" ass… :-\
If anyone is interested in them I am listening to offers. IH-555-01 Size 36.

Could you tell me, what type of material are jeans (Ih-555-01) made of? Is it Zimbabwe-cotton?
-
It is not Zimbabwe cotton. We moved away from Zimbabwe cotton a few years ago when we could not get it without the indigo used to dye it had a green hue to it. We now use cotton sourced to our specifications from USA, no one can tell the difference (well me, Haraki and the IH crew can't)…..
-
I like this as part of the IH story. Even though Zimbabwe has the rep as the best cotton, Haraki-san wasn't content to rest, and when the product started changing he found an equal quality source in the USA, which resulted in a product impossible to tell the difference. Epic.
-
What I like about it, and it exhibits itself in a variety of ways with Haraki, is that he specs something and as long as the spec meets his exact requirements, he is happy to go with it. Here are a couple of examples:
G. Are these Tee's loopwheeled? H. Dunno, I need to check
G. Where in USA does the cotton come from? H. Dunno. It matches my spec, that's all I care about.
G. Is this shirt made from selvage chambray? H. No, it did not need to be from a functional point of view and I like the texture of this chambray more than any other -
