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

I had already decided to wash them before posting on here, just thought I would join in.
3 months is enough for me to know that they need a wash, plus I wanted to get them hemmed again (and know that SE will only do that with clean jeans)
-
I rarely wash my jeans, and yes it sounds plausible that they don´t last as long as frequently washed jeans, BUT, i have 14oz Nudie jeans i have worn 500-600 days without wash and still holding on just fine. My jeans doesn't smell worse after 500 days without wash, compared to 8 weeks of wear without wash.

I wash my work jeans….soak everything else or use a spray bottle to spot soak a baggy waist

Even if I represent a minority in this topic, I do wash every pair of jeans before wearing it at 30° (Celsius) gently in the washing machine. The raw ones as well and they're getting softer without losing any of their gorgeous appearance but lose the starch and the raw-odour. At first I was scared to do so but absolutely nothing happens and it increases the lifespam of the denim. Cheers!
-
Ha, the "raw odour" is something I particularly like about a new pair of raw denims. I often thought I could be an element in a new men's fragrance, marketed on the brand name of a good jeans maker…... Can I copyright this idea?

I've lost a ton of weight in the last 2 months. Any telling when these will be available in either a 33 or 34 again?
-
Go for the 777, @FilthyBloodJunkie, they have nearly the same fit but a better fitting top-block. The awesome 21 oz denim is the same.
-
Thanks. But I kind of like the top block on the 555,and the navy arcs, hence why I wanted them over the 777.

I suspect that this has might have been covered in this thread before, but heck.. Ever thought about overdying some 555-01's, IH-crew?
-
That's what I like to hear..
-
Somewhere around a 2 years of wear. Not sure how many washes….

Any chance to see a 555 lombaker ?

Doubtful. That fabric was what was made before the loom broke. The loombreakers broke the loom, so more selvedge duck for you. Although I suspect a 555 fit in duck could be re-named The Ballbreaker….
