IH-555-SST - 21oz Shinayaka Selvedge Denim - Super Slim - Indigo

[Giles]

Do that next time, I need Parmesan

… And this is it.
First of all, this is my first "super slim" pair and I have to say that yes, they are slim.
But let's lose this aspect, because the point of interest of this model is denim, The New 21oz + 2% Polyurethane Formula.
After a few days of worn I can confirm the stretch component is present and palpable, more than any other pair of stretch jeans I've ever worn, including Levi's 502. Apparently, the more fabric is heavy, the more stretch component is noticeable.
Good or bad? It's funny, for now.
Only time will tell us if this Shinayaka will become more or less soft and comfortable than the classic Iron Heart's 21oz...

Nice one Giorgio - good to see you…..

Haraki mentioned that they are going to be back in two colours - indigo and black. I hope it’s not only for Japan.

@Karol We've been asking to do a black denim since the indigo was released.

[Karol]

@Alex seems that its finally becoming a reality I cant wait for this one to drop!

[Daniel San]

great news, always wanted a 555-sst

[Karol]

@Daniel-San Same here! Ever since I came across @neph93 summary of the fabric and the cut.

[Kasi]

@Alex
Do you have a estimate date when this one drops again

[Alex]

Not yet mate, sorry @Kasi

I really hope that this time the SST becomes a commercial success. For me its so on brand for Iron Heart. The deep understanding and appreciation of history paired with forward looking materials and techniques. What not to love?

[Giles]

We got some major shit from Luddites when we released.......I think we even lost some customers as a result.......One major customer who bitched at me personally, has never bought again.....Jeez....

[Tago Mago]

The reason I got into selvedge denim and consequently Iron Heart was my search for denim without elasthane or other synthetics. But if people want to buy and wear them, who cares? No clue why anyone would get so worked up about 2% synthetic that they would take their money someplace else

[Daniel San]

ridiculous
2% how cares ? And if you don’t like it , don’t buy it. Enough denim at Iron Heart without.

[Giles]

It's not we are forcing you to buy shit you don't like.....

This is really a WTF situation. Radicalism/ extremism has not ended well no matter what is the subject matter.
As it was said here so many times - don’t buy if you don’t like it, there is so much of traditional offering from IH, why even split hairs?
Good that You guys don’t give a shit and keep on doing things the IH way!

[WhiskeySandwich]

I would be all about some Stretch 21oz if the measurements were right. I may even go 555 if not 888. especially in black.

[sabergirl]

I think a black sst would maybe sell a little better. I love my indigo ones. I also really miss my ignition stretch jeans. That denim was great.

On a very subconscious level, you at least make us consider everything. It works pretty effectively...
