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

People are saying this has a higher rise than the 666, but going with a Tag 33 (waist 35) it has a lower rise than my 666D Tag 36 (also waist 35). I'm just concerned about a sagging butt area.

777 has a lower rise than 666, and much lower than 555. If you want a slimmer leg all the way through, with a pretty fitted top-block, and a high rise, 555 will be good. Self Edge's 301 cut has a much more relaxed top block, and a medium/low rise, closer to the 777. I find that higher rises suit my body better, and sag less, for the most part. But I have a lot more hips, thighs, and butt than most men. The ideal cut really depends on your body shape.

How'd you get the fades on the calves?

I wish it was something fun, but it’s just where I pull my socks up. I hate it when they fall down & bunch up apparently!

That's great; I love that it's something unique, whether the cause is fun or not.

It's official I'm back in them…..dropped twenty....right in time for the holidays

Mornin'
Having been introduced to the merits of IH last year when @Filthy 21/23oz junkie was kind enough to offer up some 25oz IHxB01, I was hooked and knew I needed to pick up some more. It has taken a while but I am pleased to say I have just started to break in some of the fantastic 21oz IH555-01's.A month or so ago, I was visiting London and took the opportunity to visit "Rivet and Hide" its a great place to shop, the guys are super knowledgeable and friendly. This was my first bricks and mortar denim shopping experience which was a revelation; shopping online is kinda blind even if you know your preferred measurements.
I also took advantage of their free hemming service in store; I only needed a little off the 36 length to achieve the neat double cuff I was after. I surprised myself how much I enjoyed watching the process and it was a good opportunity to indulge the inner denim obsessive, they even let me video the process! Examining the offcuts provided an insight into how the denim acquires its weight, the threads are super thick, and also exposes the white core of the "warp" hinting at what is to come in the evolution of the fades.
As is my habit, I have posted a little review on my YouTube, check it out, there is some footage of the hemming if that is of interest.
Best regards,
Chris
