IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

@CMcCartie I always need the maximum possible shrinkage, especially on the thighs and knees and unless you immerse them in boiling water or in the washing machine at very high temperatures you won't get much shrinkage in these points, furthermore any minimal shrinkage you get will be lost in a couple of days of wearing, I have six pairs of XHS, the first two I soaked after a year, the other 4 after 2/3 days of wearing, honestly, from my little experience, soaking is not like that decisive in shrinkage but very useful in accelerating fading and wearing comfort, finally it seems to prevent premature "breakages" in the points of greatest pressure and in the cuffs.

I just got these in the mail yesterday. The waist was just a little big so I gave just the waistband a hot soak. That tightened things up perfectly. What a great fit. I bought these when they were first released in the different cut. I can’t remember what it was but I’m really glad they did it in the 555. Here is a horrible fit picture. I’ll have my wife take a better one later. Everyone is looking great in these!

@CMcCartie Sounds perfect brother, you are doing everything right. Enjoy the journey!
-
@deanclean looks like a great fit man !! Ive also been very happy with the fit on these 555s they are definitely slim, but with the thickness of the material and the way it creases and stacks they don’t come off as a “skinny jean“
-
@CMcCartie not only do they not come off as a skinny Jean, they don’t come off at all! Once I get them down to my calves it’s a battle haha.
-
@deanclean no pain no gain a wise man once said
-
@deanclean ya the first week is gonna consist of lots of little jumps and leg shakes to get those off, but as they break in it gets a bit easier (not much)
. -
@Twistlock they’re looking good!! Temps are on the rise here as well but i try to hold out as long as possible

@MassiveThighs they just have been restocked last month or so, that means not before next year I think

Correct, sadly

@MassiveThighs your best bet is to email IHUK directly at shop@ironheart.co.uk. The guys will be more than happy to help you with any questions regarding sizing
-
I did! Hopefully they find a pair in 34 that’s compatible with my measurements.
-
Well I've saved up for these... And they're out of stock. Ive not found these at any online retailers. Any help? 38.9 waist. Is the 21oz indigo with black od that much less awesome than these? Thanks
WTB Brund Flannel 3 or 4x
-
@CosmoSix5 They are both awesome, and both completely different from one another.
If I were in your place, I would purchase the one that's in stock now and enjoy wearing it while patiently waiting for the next restock of the other.
-
@CosmoSix5 You could always put a WTB ad in the market place Here or fill in the request restock notifications on the product page.
Edit: Seeing that it may be next year before they are restocked at IHUK.

Needed a 35, but oos, so went with a 34 and was too small. Re-ordered the 36 and fits ok, but could use less waist. Don’t think my thighs would fit in a 35 anyways.
Going to soak these and hopefully get some shrink in the waist. Don’t really mind wearing a belt either.
-
@MassiveThighs overall they look good on you and yes they will shrink a bit in the waist but wil also stretch back. Wearing a belt might be your way to go. But enjoy them
