IH-555S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo

[GardenState]

Ah thank you so much. I started reading about the 14oz jackets to glean some info. I do have a pair of 21oz (no lot) so that should be better in warmer weather than 14oz. I just happened to see a picture of the 14oz indigo and the color looked different than my 25oz and I got curious. I'm learning a lot. You are quite knowledgeable about the world of IH.

@GardenState I have a pair of the 14oz in the 555 cut (on left) and 21oz, in the 777 cut (the 14oz I have had probably 6 months longer), and if I'm honest I havent really noticed any difference when I wear them in the summer from a breathability aspect - the tighter weave counter balances the denim weight - but the 14oz I do find a bit more comfortable in the summer to move around in (cycling etc) which you tend to do as you are out and about more. I find also the 14oz denim is a bit more electric blue in colour. Hope this helps!

Hey, really appreciate this too. Giles should have a referral program lol. I may pull the trigger on a pair of 14 Oz. I have systematically replaced my pants with Iron Heart pants. I just like the feel of the fabric. And it seems more quality than some other popular brands (some of which feel downright cheap in comparison).  I mean come on if the pants are 300 plus the pockets should be lined. One of my favorite details about IH (that and the "W")

Nevertheless, I really appreciate the side by side. The internet is pretty limiting in what you can see and assess.

@Steve works for Iron heart, he already gets paid to market the stuff

I left that there for posterity's sake. I saw his tag after.

And he did a fine job of marketing. 

[Giles]

He's in the marketing department, so if he was not good at it, he wouldn't be there

@GardenState piqued my interest in how it can be difficult to appreciate 'how it fades' (aside from seeing various old pairs) so Steve and I got some shots of his 555S-142 (these were the first sample)

Those look great, @AdamJ. Tempts me to snag my fave cut (634) in the 14oz denim…

[GardenState]

@AdamJ Thats awesome. It piqued my interest as well. Maybe other people will also see the great colors achievable in this weight. Lightweight has a use after all.

I took the leap on these and I’ve found that these have a slightly higher rise than the 555S-21 which I quite like. Have others noticed the same? Or am I dreaming this up?

I really like the rise of the 555 but the legs are very tight.
Will the thighs stretch much or should I go with a different cut ?

The thighs will relax a little. Stretch happens in proportion to length, so you are looking at getting about 0.2 or 0.3 of an inch. Not much but it may help.

Thanks man.

I decided to get a pair of these for the summer/autumn. Any comments on the fit would be appreciated.

[DrPat]

Fit looks great.  I don’t see anything I could criticize.

[neph93]

Looks right to me.

[going_to_battle]

Thanks guys.

They're tighter than I'm used to around the waist and thighs but I think they should be just right after a few weeks' worth of wear. I think the size and cut look good so I'm hoping they work out for me.
