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

[hoppy_IPA]

Neph & Oak - you we’re correct about this stuff slowly softening up.  It really is a tricky denim to understand w/o putting some work in to see where it goes.  I’m happy with this fit & think it will even get better as the denim continues to soften up.
I’m nervous about washing them though.  They’re quite snug as is & if they shrink I could be in trouble.  Cross that bridge when I get there… keeping them dry until the wife says otherwise

This denim stacks like no other.  It’s so rigid that it started locking into place immediately.  I was hoping to cuff them bc of the black weft & contrasting red selvedge.  The epics stacks these could make are quite tempting
What ya think?

Whenever I wash mine they tighten up a little, but stretch right back out.

I think you’re good. They will only shrink a third of an inch, and as Jett129 says, they’ll loosen up with wear. Worst case you’ll be uncomfortable for a weeks wear. They look fitted to me, as 555’s should be. Not too tight at all.

Edit: I think the stacks plus cuffs pic looks epic.

It looks so lovely there. Autumn up here is stunning but lasts about three weeks.

Wow that is pretty quick.

Norway sounds like an awesome place though.

I thought perhaps there was because of the way the indigo is coming through. Excellent work, they look very nice indeed.
