IH-555S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Cut Jeans - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

[misfitlife]

Haven’t bought a pair of black jeans since my teenage years, some ages ago, definitely needed a pair. After waiting for these to drop all spring and summer, when they finally did. I didn’t have the funds to get them anymore…..thanks life, haha……but now I do so I managed to grab a pair from @guiltyparty Top notch customer service, found me a pair that was hitting the numbers I was after and they fit perfect. Little bit slimmer than my indigo 21oz 555s, which is exactly what I was after! Thanks Guilty Party crew.

Couple of quick pics before these get posted off to @JoshC for repairs. About 150 wears in at this point, what a denim the 21 SBG is.

The number of the beast - 666 days of wear

@beef_bonanza these look amazing. How many washes??

[kojimastreets]

@beef_bonanza holy smokes

[beef_bonanza]

@FlavourFade Thank you man! Should be 6 or 7 machine washes. Another one due soon when it comes to repairing again

@beef_bonanza amazing! I love how the tonal arcs have become contrast arcs

[beef_bonanza]

@don_pipone yeah man. This is why I prefer tonal arcs. You can make them really pop by fading the surrounding fabric

[don_pipone]

@beef_bonanza yeah, that's what I love about them too. Unfortunately I can't wear 555s anymore (fit-wise) and there are no indigo 777s with tonal arcs

[chillmonroe]

@beef_bonanza sorry, newb question. What is a tonal arc?

[don_pipone]

@chillmonroe Usually the arcs on the back pockets are stitched in a different coloured yarn than the denim (contrast). The black denims and the original 555 21oz have them in the same colour making them tonal.

[chillmonroe]

@don_pipone ah. Thanks!

[beef_bonanza]

@don_pipone I would not go for 555 on new jeans either anymore. However, I have to cope with them as they are not totally worn out yet. 10 years ago when I bought them, they could not be skinny enough. Now I have to pay the bill:-)
And somehow especially on black jeans I still like the slim cut for a change. Certainly not for everyday

@beef_bonanza Wow they are fantastic.

[don_pipone]

@beef_bonanza haha, I can relate with the black denim. Somehow I also prefer them on the slimmer side. Probably it‘s some kind of 80s/90s Slash-like skinny ripped black jeans thing

[beef_bonanza]

@don_pipone I cannot deny, that I had similar pictures in my head when typing this
