There are no stupid questions, right? Do people tend to hold off washing over winter months? I really miss air drying my denim.

It’s still air drying if you hang them to dry inside the house.

Ok, open air drying?

Hi guys, the IH 888 cut is one of my favorite cuts in my closet but I would like something with the same high rise but a more narrow leg.
Does the 555 sit at the waist and wear similar to the 634? I found the 634 to be too low rise for my liking, kept rubbing up on my crotch and wasn't comfortable for me to wear. The 888 gives me plenty of room and the rise I think makes a world of difference.
I want to give the 555 a try but don't want to waste my time/money if the rise isn't going to work out for me. Can anyone suggest other cuts with a top block similar to the 888 only with a more narrow leg?

I have tried pair of 888 they to baggy for me. Stuck with 555.. works better for me
Work out measurements on your 888 and how narrow you want them on the bottom..
Compare against the 555.

The 555 top block is higher than the 634, lower than the 888. But the 888 and 555 have very different top blocks. The 555 is quite roomy. The waistband is much bigger compared to tag size than with the 888. For example, a w34 888 will often be 33.5”, whereas a w34 555 might be 35”.

This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for, thank you. I'm a true waist size 33 inches and wear a tag size 33 in the 888, so I'm either a 31 or a 32 in the 555 but I'll probably go with 32 to be on the safe side. But based on the measurement chart, a 888 size 33 has nearly 2 more inches of front rise than a 555 size 32 which gives me pause…

@theofficialhung while comparing measurements is always useful, they never tell the full story when comparing cuts. The overall shape (and therefore fit) of the 555 top block is very different from that of the 888.
The 888 has a relatively wide seat and tapers inwards above the yoke towards the waistband. The 555 has a relatively wide seat and does not taper after the yoke, creating a much more relaxed overall top block.
That may not be helpful, but my point is the 555 won’t fit like the 634, however if you size down to fit waist you will lose rise. I actually prefer to size down my 888’s (starting at 33.5”) as I find the higher rise gives me cause to, while I am happy to start 555, at 34.5”, 777’s and 666’s are good at 35”. You may find a w33 555 works, although the waistband will likely be loose. But that is what belts are for.

My neophyte two cents is that it isn’t only the waistband on the 555 cut that keeps the denim up, but the entire top block, so some give in the waistband isn’t a problem.

Hello, I just received the 555-01, my first pair of IH, I am truly impressed with the quality, denim etc.
The fit in front rise, knee and tight is perfect right now, the waist is a little tight. I wonder if I should size down, I heard these jeans have some amount of stretch. Right now It would be Ok to have some stretch at the waist, but not in the tights etc. How much are these actually going to strecth?

The waist will stretch up to one inch. The thighs will relax. Maybe up to and average of 0.3” along the length of the thigh.
If the waist is already tight I would not recommend sizing down.

New pair first day out. So comfortable already.
