IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
Guess I've been pretty much following the Giles model for most of the last ~10 years: buy a pair and wear them almost exclusively for 6 - 24 months, then buy another pair. Not that I'm totally rigid about it though, I'll throw in a black pair or an old worn in pair a day or two every couple of weeks just for variety, and in a (probably futile) attempt to convince normal people that I'm not some weird jeans obsessive. But yeah all this tempting denim is putting that approach under serious strain…

Just got my second pair of xhsib. Bought them off of pjjames. Cannot express my gratitude enough. These pants fit me leagues better than the 777. They are a 32 waist as was my 777 XHSib. (Side note: probably should have sized up to a 33 in the 777) These 555 actually fit better than my 555!xhs indigo which are a size 33 and just a tad loose in the waist; still love them though. All of my other denim are tapered cuts and I actually think the 555 suits me better.
Now my only dilemma is where I want my cuffs to hit because these are unhemmed and I don't want to send them away to get a closer to proper inseam. I think my RGT and PBJs are taking a backseat to my two pairs of 555 xhs.

Congratulations @GardenState. Depending on your footwear of choice, the Tokyo cuff is always a winner on narrow gems, and is the best cuff to eat up inseam as well.

555’s you get away true to size, but 777’s I have size up…
@GardenState I had that problem in the past.Now have three pairs of 777’s 25oz size up

Hi
I’ve picked a pair of these up.
I started off with some 21oz 634s.
I didn’t like the straight leg. Sold them.
Replaced with 777 21oz.
I couldn’t get on with the low rise. Sold them.
Replaced with 888 21oz.
I still have those although they are baggier than I prefer.
The 555s are a better fit on me than the other cuts I have tried.
These are my first pair of 25oz denim and they are insane.
They’ve now had a soak and are ready to go….....
