IH-555-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Cut Jeans - Black/Black
-
If they had been able to find a pair measuring 38.7-38.9" I might've felt more comfortable shrinking them closer to 38".
-
Yeah I asked them to check all the tag 36s as well, found a tag 36 with 37.2. I'll next check the 777 in this denim once it releases but I have hunch they'll have the same numbers.
-
Please do not have that hunch, although it is impossible to tell as the 7's are not here yet, the possibility of the waists measuring differently to the 555-XHSBB is just as likely as them measuring the same.
If we take the 555-XHS for example, the average for a tag 38 is 39.3 and the average for a tag 38 of the 777-XHS is 38.8.
-
The hunch is more based on my past two orders of this pair and the 555 xhsib, there was two remaining pairs one was 39 and the other was a 39.2, then asked about the 777xhsib which also show an average of 39.

Look good !! The denim is so black !! I have had to zoom in to see your fit.
I will say soak it as it will not damage the color.

Even though I had to cancel my order, these are still tempting. I really do like how black they are and making me wonder how much a regular wash cycle with hot water and agitation could help lose an inch.

I feel like the half inch your worried about will be solved by wearing a belt. I have jeans that range over an inch in the waist. Some fit snug, some need a belt. They all look good.

Mine arrived today,and I have to say this is some seriously gnarly denim. Put them on a for a few minutes and then threw them into the tub for a hot soak. Looked like there was an octopus in my pants the way the black dye was,literally,pouring out of them. Rolled them in a towel,and now they’re getting a wash,and then it’s off to the Shrinkmaster 9000. I was considering waiting for the 634s as I didn’t need another,super slim,pair of black jeans,and these fit me like 634s in the thighs,so mission accomplished. Stay tuned.

Interesting observation. Now this reminds me sbg. Sbg dye was pouring out like crazy. This means the denim has some great potential for gray fading .Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last night after taking them out of the drier I decided to put them on to check them out,even though they were a little damp around the button hole area. I had stretched the holes jus enough to get them buttoned and went about my business. I haven’t remeasured but I don’t think they shrank at all. Anyway it’s now time for me to go to sleep,so I go to unbutton them,but as they dried the holes re-tightened up and there’s no way I can get them opened. Good thing I didn’t have to pee,or I’d have been in real trouble. Half hour and some bruised fingers later I got the top 2 buttons opened. I’ve been wearing them today and they feel like they may have stretched out a bit. Eventually I’ll get some pics up,but these look like 634s or even 888s on me as they’re quite baggy in the thighs and butt. The waist,thanks to Adam,is absolutely spot on. This is really the kind of fit I was looking for,since I’d like to be able to wear them on the bike. Just a note to anyone who’s been,previously, sacred off by the 555 thigh measurements,well fret no more.
