IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
Picked these up from @manufc10. (I didn't realize these were listed here, too, until after the fact…sorry bud!) Thanks for getting them to me quickly!
Here's the first wear, post hot wash and line dry. They took about 2.5 days to completely dry.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the fit. I'll need to have them hemmed, eventually, since the inseam is as big as Texas. I'm 6'0', and I have them cuffed 4 times. For reference, I'm 160-165 lb, and I usually wear a 33 or 34 in IH bottoms. These are a 34. I could manage a 33 in the waist in the 555 cut, but the thighs would likely be too tight.

Nice @Engineer, glad to see they arrived safely! Sorry about the mysterious spot on them and hopefully it fades away over time. Fit looks good on you.

@cander49 wow man , they look amazing, cool fades ! Would be nice to see some post wash pics . Cheers

@chbronsonx, here you go! Post second wash! I feel like these are exactly at that sweet spot now.

These are really evolving quickly lately. This is from maybe a month ago, and I've just been slow to post. I guess that puts them at something like a year and 9 months of wear in these shots? Still only 2 washes.

This usually happens to me. I find nice cut with fabulous denim and they are limited…. Anyway W34 after a 20 min light wash without detergent in 40C and spin 1200rpm. They were still damp as I wore them about half an hour to do household chores. Now drying and I start wearing them tomorrow.

@injunjack Nice! It's a great denim. Mine relaxed quite a bit after wearing them consistently for a while. That combined with a bit of weightloss! I was super surprised how soft they get in comparison to how they start out.
Hope you enjoy!

Hi there @madmonday. All good in NYC? While psoting those pics I wondered how many of the ol' fellas still hang around.
Haven't tried sitting on a bike yet. This pair has quite roomy toplock, so probably will be good.
Will do that tonight and report back
Report: No problem on a bike.

Playing around with a foreground light source a bit after sunset. We were there to take shots of my wife's quilting project, but I love these jeans and this IH/Simmons shearling jacket, so had to jump in for a few.
Bonus quilt shot. Too bad for her that her shearling jacket is Diesel, since she can't get anything at IH level for women
