IH-555N - 17oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Natural Indigo

[Pavel Pipovič]

Soaking a new (sanforized) denim helps to bed the constructional stitching, so i think a (minimum a cold or better a warm) soak should be done before wearing

[neph93]

A cold soak, even on sanforised denim is never a bad idea. Soak first then wear. The problem with wearing them a lot and then washing is that your honeycombs and stacks will be an inch too high after wear because of shrinkage. My advice would be a warm soak to take out all the shrinkage, then wear the fuck out og them. They'll stretch out to fit you. A warm soak without agitation shouldn't affect the indigo or future wear patterns much. Just wear them like you hate them and they'll look boss.

Thanks Guys

@Giles is this denim the same as the TW634N ? I have both and denim looks different, this one is stiffer and warps are more grey than tw . I really like both of them but just for now …

[Giles]

Same denim, different batch.  Have you washed the TW's much?

[jules]

Never wash tw and They really are different , 555n are hairy,stiff and look darker but maybe because of the more grey warp .Have you compared them ?

[Giles]

No…..I will though....

Damn, I was helping a friend order either the 777 (sz 34) or these (34) and both are out of stock. Any 34's around in either @Giles ? He's already rocking 3sixteens and I'm trying to get him hooked on the IH bug.

[Giles]

Nope.  But 555-01 coming in today…..G

[Giles]

@jules Well spotted the weft in the new denim is a natural colour whereas in the TW version looks like it is bleached.  That gives the denim an overall darker loo to the face.  I'm not sure I can detect a different texture on the pairs I have here.

[Giles]

@jules It is a new denim.  Same weight, but utilising beige weft.  It is sanforised and anti-skewed.

[jules]

@Giles so i m not crazy it s a new denim
I really like it , maybe less stubborn to fade …..
thank you for your information

Cool! Natural beige wefts look so nice…

I think I want these.

Natural indigo, 17oz,  $275 . . . . got to sleep on it

[Giles]

I wouldn't.  In this case we do have pressure on the price…...

[Dion]

Do you aim at the same price range for the S-14 or is it too early to ask??

[Giles]

This is my dream…...

I can keep the 17oz at USD275 and the 14oz at USD250.  I'm not sure I can achieve that.  There is upward cost pressure on both, but that is my goal....

[Dion]

I hope it works out well because those are real bargains.

[Giles]

It is with regret, I have had to push the price of these up to USD295 - Sorry….

[tigerstrom]

Still cheap!
