IH-555S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - SBG

Hey so I need some advice if possible…
I have 777-142 in size 38 and also 888-21 in size 38. I like both respectively, but I want to add a black pair as those two I have are indigo. The 555 seem like a perfect balance between the two current models I have, slightly lower front and back rise than the 888 but slightly higher than 777. And if I were to say I had any issues with the 777 it would the back rise is a tiny bit short, but in the 888 the back rise is slightly too high. Otherwise the measurements between the 777 and 555 look pretty comparable in size 38. Would the 555 be what I am expecting or is there anything else I should know? I can post fit pics or both denims I own if that would help but I’m going based on measurements alone right now. Thanks I’m advance!

@hgering27 only thing I’d say is to be careful of the knee measurement on the 555. The 777 and 888 cuts have a consistent taper from top down to the hem. With the 555 however, almost all of the taper occurs from the top down to the knee, from which point it is pretty straight down to the hem.
Having said all that, they’re all great cuts and I own pairs in all 3. I wear a 33 in the 555 and 888, and prefer a 34 in the 777. I bet you’ll be fine with a 38, but keep an eye on the knee.

@jerkules thanks man! I ordered them yesterday so we shall see tomorrow how the fit is. The knee measurement in size 38 on the 555 is a tad smaller, but nothing that should be an issue (hopefully)
Based on measurements alone, these look like they could be the perfect fit I am looking for. All 3 will be in 38, however the 777 in 38 are definitely a tad big in the waist, nothing crazy, but definitely a larger fit than my 888, which were a lot more snug at first and required some stretching to get comfortable. Fingers crossed

@jerkules well just as I’d hoped, absolutely perfect. Think I found my new favorite fit! Now time for a hem
-
Couldn’t be happier with how these turned out. Hem length Is perfect and I think this might officially be my favorite cut. I love the 888 and the 777 but these are almost like a happy medium for me right in the middle. Can’t wait to put these to use all winter.

@hgering27 safe to say that you nailed the sizing there. That’s also a really good outfit, love the natural fabrics up top with the black denim. I might copy it
-
@jerkules thanks man! I’m really big on textures. Top jacket is Belgian butcher linen with a beige denim shirt. I’m beyond stoked on how these pants fit. I’m already eager to get the 555 in indigo next, but need to wait a bit while I give some loving to the 888

Yeah they certainly take a beating at work. Will be nice to wear these for casual wear for a bit.
Look lovely. Can you please talk me though the repairs you've done on these; they look great.

these have been back IHUK once for some repairs by @Chesson
Doubt I will repair again, just let them be trashed now

few current fit pics of my pair. I absolutely love this denim

Looking used and abused in a good way.
bravo -
Is there an approximate timeframe these may be back in stock?
-
Second wash in two years. Slow fading. I’m wearing them as hard as a non manual worker can. Lol.

Coming up on one year with these guys. Not sure how many wears or washes at this point. They got a little marbles a few months back because I washed without soaking first but they’re starting to even put. I tend to use these for yard work on top of daily wear rolling around on the ground playing with my toddler, but they’re starting to look really nice imo.
sounds like you’ll be golden.
