IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
I have a slightly different take on your question and admittedly do not own the 555 cut. However, I do own jeans in the 888 cut in 21oz indigo, 21oz SBG and 25oz XHSib. When sizing for the 25oz pair, I measured the 21oz indigo pair I own and like the fit of a lot (after wearing them several times post a wash). With those measurements, I tried to find the closest match in the 25oz size chart. You can also email the crew at IHUK and they will measure the inventory for an even better match. The 25oz is going to shrink after a wash, but true to the details advertised, the areas put under stress (waist, top block, and thigh) will stretch back to, or slightly more than, the measurements when new. Obviously, the inseam length measurement will not come back to original. Hope this helps.

555 wise i would say size up. Or drop ihuk a message to find the best size 32 for you!

@discobeard I went with the same size in the 25oz as my other 555s (18,21,UHR). Feels perfect

Picked these up last week.
Wondering. My weight (waist, actually) fluctuates a bit. I go between a 32 and a 36, but my skinny legs aren't affected at all. I opted for the 35 because of the waist dimensions after measuring my other 555 21oz (size 34, waist stretched to 36) but when I got my XHS in size 35, they were huge everywhere! Including the waist. I'd already had them hemmed, so that's on me.
It's like I need that 33/34 leg dimension with a 35 - 36 waist. These are close in waist, but not the legs.
So, my question is this. After a super hot soak for 45 minutes did nothing meaningful to reduce size anywhere, I'm looking into the hot wash/hot dry method.
I'm used to washing in a washing machine and hot drying (I know, I know) and I've usually gotten the result I want after about 2 cycles of that.
...but now I'm scared of marbling and lines. I've had quite a few pants IH and others that have had the dreaded lines on the calves.
Is there a way I can hot wash/hot dry (dryer) these jeans without marbling or lines because I'd really like these to shrink down another size.
Turning inside out seems like a strategy that could work, but I want to hear from people that have done it. because I still feel like you could get those lines. Maybe no spin cycle in the wash?

@drtii put them inside out, soak them fully wet with the shower head before you put them into the washing machine. NO spin and drip dry or flat dry.

Thanks heavy blue!

@drtii no prob man! Enjoy them

I usually just lurk around here but got inspired to post after the redesigned forum. Been wearing the 555-XHS almost everyday for the last 5 months. Not a ton of fading yet. I'm a 6th grade teacher so don't get some of the sick fades as fast of some of y'all! Also got my favorite jacket on, IH-526J-22, love the shorter cut on it! Fit pics are hard when you live alone!

@Kasi Yeah its gotten a bit out of hand. Been working on downsizing the collection, gives me a couple buck that I inevitably give to Iron Heart.
