Khaki denim would be heaven for me. I love to wear my black and indigo over dyed black to court. Having khaki would be perfect.

@Giles i appreciate that insight. I love the science (art really) as much as anything.

I’m witnessing this event in real-time

@Denimhead-0

The downside to indigo/black ha!

@yannis thanks for the info

Just got a pair of these and I love the inky blackness. I’m only about 5 wears in at this point. I’ve seen the fades that others have posted, and had a question. Since these have indigo warp and black sulphur dipped weft, what causes them to fade so dramatically? Does the black just fade out quickly by comparison or is there something else at work?

@deadendpro I appreciate you posting that. I’ve also reached the age where comfort trumps fashion

@Dmart they would probably look a bit better with 634s instead of my 666s, but the 666s fit better everywhere else

The back looks even better

Almost 3 years of wear (at least 3x a week). I love them with boots.

Since these are advertised as shrinking up to an inch, but stretching back out with wear, what have you guys done about sizing compared to other IH denim. I’m a tag 33 in the 14 and 21 oz pairs, but definitely appreciate the stretch that comes after wearing them.

I wear these with boots also and I’m a 30 or 30.5 inseam. Should I go with a 31 inseam in these?

Any chance these will be restocked soon?

I like the version with the gold stitching as well, but I could probably get away with wearing these to court until the fades start coming in.

Any idea when these will be restocked?

Just ordered a pair.  Louisiana heat was too much for my 21ouncers.

Question for those who also wear the 777’s:

Should I size up from the 777 if I’m more dad bod than slim and trim.  I know these rest higher up than the 777’s.

Any info on a restock of these?

New to the forum here.  I’m looking to jump into IH denim very soon, but still mulling over which model to go with.  I’m leaning towards the 555 because I prefer a slim straight jean, but just not positive yet.  My present jeans are Polo Varick slim straights, which I’ve worn for years.  Really looking forward to making the plunge.
