IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo PREVIOUSLY IH-555-01

Not promising they do, but Wesco have narrowed the shaft meaningfully with the intention of fitting them under that kind of jean.

Actually, I can wear my IHWE-5 and my custom burlap Boss (MP toe) under 555’s if I tighten the top strap. So I am strongly suggesting it is doable.

@Alex care to chip in?

Here the Mr Lou are over a slim pair of 777s

I have a photo of them over some 555S-21 somewhere, will keep looking. The point being, that is what they are designed for, and they work under all our slim jeans

I wear my 555s with all kinds of boots from Wescos to westerns.

^ what I thought. Thanks for confirming.

Over either the 555 or 777 (probably 777-UHR)

Just slipped on my new pair. Wonderful. Perfectly snug on the waistband, and top block perfection. It’ll be interesting to see the stretch. I want something comfortable. The denim is so much softer and supple than the 555 SBG from the get go. Thanks to the team for swapping these for the 888S, which really didn’t work for me.

@Kasi:

Car jack can stretch them

@neph93 his idea and it work gotta be careful don’t pop the button..

I don’t wear 777 any more find them uncomfortable

Me too. Have retired my 777 14. There were never the same after a wash, and once I wore a pair of 555…..

[Kasi]

I wonder how many more will go from 777 to 555…

Don’t get me wrong 777 look good... after a wearing for a while don’t get my
votes...  that what happen with my 777 25oz

555 remains the same a truly winner...

There are no stupid questions, right? Do people tend to hold off washing over winter months? I really miss air drying my denim.

Normal wash, hang in front of radiator, wait four days, done

It’s still air drying if you hang them to dry inside the house.

And then there’s Denim Rambler who would air dry his jeans outside in the Alaskan winter. Obviously he’d have to thaw them out after that. I think he took 2nd place in the Denim Fade Competition.

That amazing…. rambler is hardcore, doesn’t mess around.

Ok, open air drying?

Hi guys, the IH 888 cut is one of my favorite cuts in my closet but I would like something with the same high rise but a more narrow leg.

Does the 555 sit at the waist and wear similar to the 634? I found the 634 to be too low rise for my liking, kept rubbing up on my crotch and wasn't comfortable for me to wear. The 888 gives me plenty of room and the rise I think makes a world of difference.

I want to give the 555 a try but don't want to waste my time/money if the rise isn't going to work out for me. Can anyone suggest other cuts with a top block similar to the 888 only with a more narrow leg?

I have tried pair of 888 they to baggy for me. Stuck with 555.. works better for me

Work out measurements on your 888 and how narrow you want them on the bottom..

Compare against the 555.

The 555 top block is higher than the 634, lower than the 888. But the 888 and 555 have very different top blocks. The 555 is quite roomy. The waistband is much bigger compared to tag size than with the 888. For example, a w34 888 will often be 33.5”, whereas a w34 555 might be 35”.

This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for, thank you. I'm a true waist size 33 inches and wear a tag size 33 in the 888, so I'm either a 31 or a 32 in the 555 but I'll probably go with 32 to be on the safe side. But based on the measurement chart, a 888 size 33 has nearly 2 more inches of front rise than a 555 size 32 which gives me pause…

Don’t forget to look at the thigh. I would love the slightly lower rise of a 555, but have to stick with 888 because I can’t fit a thigh/waist ratio in most 555.
