IH-555S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
Is this the same OD as ISH-178? So it'd be a similar kind of fade?
-
@Kingmob31 what @Jett129 said. When overdying IH take a finished garment and infuses it with black sulphur dye. The difference in base denim means there will be some difference in fading. For example the 19oz IH-526L-OD type III fades quickly from black to greyish white, because the original denim loses indigo in areas of high abrasion quite quickly. Both dyes come out together. The 21oz denim is a stubborn fader so while the black sulphur fades quickly more of the indigo is retained. The result is a blue/black effect before whiter areas start peaking through

any chance of restock soon?
would love a pair of these beauties. they would be my first IH jeans -
super, thanks! still thinking between them and same 21oz od on 666
either will be great i think! -
Wow !! Idon't know if I can resist these.
I'd love to see some fade pics of some pairs.
Have a pair of 634 OD, and the fabric is like velvet and just now finally showing that bluish black coloring the thighs.
The other problem would be I probably would wear these more than the 634's (a more relaxed fit) once I get them, and my poor 634's that are just starting to look incredible wouldd sit neglected lol
anyways, cheers ya'll, it'll be a tough decision also as I have yet to have the classic 21 oz indigo in the 555, my fave fit, I have the 25oz though in the 25oz ib…
thanks -

oh damn !! these are of course beautiful !!
Mine are shipped !! -
Hi y’all I just got my first pair of IH denim and I need a fit check. I think the thigh to knee area is a little too tight but the waist and from the knees down fit well. I’m not sure if the thighs will stretch enough to a less extreme look with wear. Should I size up to a 30 W or get the 777 in 29 W? I think if I sized up in the waist it might be too roomy in the top block once the waist stretches with wear. The 777 seems like it might the solution to my problem, but after comparing measurements between the two cuts the thigh is the same and the knee is only .4 inches bigger/wider on the 777.

Finally a picture with some lighting! I am trying to decide if these jeans are "black" or "indigo". I am looking for a denim that starts off dark and "blackish", but fades to a denim "indigo" with wear and over time are truly a "blue jean". I don't particularly look good in the black to gray world and was wondering if these are for me, or not?
-
Will they stay black forever? No
Will they fade nicely over time? Yes
This post also answers my question, but I must ask…were the faded ones machine washed? The fading seems a bit softened and not high-contrast like I am looking for. Will I be able to get the fade to black to blue high-contrast fades with these if I just wear them and don't machine wash them?
-
@tnjyoung The 21od fades softly no matter how you wash them. You might want to wait for the IH-555S-21ib if you want contrast fades.
-
@tnjyoung Yes they'd undoubtedly been machine washed several times, in my experience the overdyed won't give you the 'electric' blue contrast you see with our Indigo/Black denim and as @peregrine mentions, might be worth giving a IB denim a shot

Not gonna lie, kinda missed the roominess of the 805’s while wearing these today.
I guess this is what I am looking for. I consider this a very good contrast and I was wondering if these jeans will ever be able to get to this level?
