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

Railcar are ninjas on alterations and I've heard nothing but praise for what they do.  They shortened the rise on a forum member's XHS Busters and from all accounts just nailed it, so I'd think a taper would be no problem whatsoever.

long-shot here but does anybody have a DS (or near DS) pair of 555-01's in sz. 34 they want to trade for my DS sz, 33 555-01?

[Bluegrass]

DS?

Deadstock, meaning new

Ok, haven't given my 555's any love at all because it seems that i have a "diaper butt" and it annoys me quite a bit…not only can i feel the extra denim in my arse area when walking, it kinda looks like i just pooped in my pants. Anyone else ever had this issue?

So i tried it on again today to give it another go and get a second opinion. Will this eventually settle and feel and look better with time? Or should i just size down 1?

Doesn't look that bad, the only solution is to wear them hard to soften up the denim and mould it to your body. A soak or wash might help soften them.

Yeaaap. I have the same problem. The only thing i feel wrong with it. Is the rise or the diaper butt as you call it.

thanks maxpower. i noticed the images doesn't look as bad as it does in person. perhaps i'll give it a good hot soak tonight and see what happens.

Do7, glad to hear that i'm not alone on this. maybe you're right about the rise, or maybe i just have a small butt. haah!

i actually sized up one basing it on what i wanted on the thigh measurements. however, i didn't think that i would have much extra room in the butt area. hopefully, this could help some others on whether sizing up on these is a good idea or not.

You might have to start doing some squats and some stiff legged deadlifts

So chewie has a sz 33 up for sale that has me interested… Waist'll be too big but then the XHS also has stretched to a 34 (and it is loose, but that's what you get when you work in jeans, despite wearing a belt that could knock out a mammoth, knock off a mammoth even)...

12" thighs: wouldn't even need any stretching
8.25" knee: so that's half an inch tighter than the XHS... Can't really see that to be an issue...
7.5" legopening at 36" inseam; so shortened to say 33", that would be closer to 8"...
15" rise: I could live with that...

Shit...

[Max Power]

Can you stand a high rise? If yes, try it. They are comfy in the top block, but I still can't get used to pull them off my shins when I take them off. Speaking - they're really tight. But if you like that look - give it a shot.

[Seul]

Can I stand a high rise… Funny... I would prefer them to have an even higher rise actually... But 15" 'll do...

Yeah: they might be too tapered down the knee... Plus I don't actually need to rotate two jeans... My XHS'es will do...

[chewie]

Ok so i hot soaked them for almost 2 hours the other night and to my surprise, no shrinkage. All measurements are same as original, haah! I guess it is what it is.

Well, in fairness, you have reshaped yourself pretty dramatically.  I expect a lot of things that were impossible a year ago are doable now.  Kind of a reward for all the discipline and hard work, right?
