Thanks guys!
Small precision : i checked my order history in IH shop, bought the jeans in beginning of january 2015 so, 3 years of beloved wear.

@rocket:

wtf, so where the heck have you been hanging around all the time, nice first play, haha

I don't know :), I guess I'm kind of shy 

[xtcclassic]

Another random stranger stops by and blows our minds with a ridiculously awesome pair of jeans.    I love when that happens. Welcome aboard, SupR-Pingou.

[rocket]

me too…

and no need to be shy mate, you made the first step with a blast, so anything else from now is super easy...

21oz fades are beautiful to behold. Looking good @bryaneidins70

[RoxRocks86]

Nice! @bryaneidins how long have you had them?

[bryaneidins70]

@RoxRocks86 , I've had them a year but I bought them secondhand from a member. He had worn them for approx 1 month and washed them once in the in the two years he had them, so they were in a fairly new state when I got them.

they look great ! I should wash mine, they are unwashed and no soaks. Not ready for the couple days of tightness

Having tried a pair on Saturday, these are definitely my next purchase. Either these or the 18oz 555s

[neph93]

Coming up on 200 wear days. Washed four times, repaired three times.

Crap “iPhone in the bathroom” pics, but they’re doing ok.

Wow awesome. Great combs on those. Good job neph!

[neph93]

Thanks @Filthy. My second pair of IH.

[RoxRocks86]

Nice wear & tear! Are these your most worn pair?

[neph93]

My first pair probably are worn about the same and are considerably more fekked up. They are IH-301s. There are pics on the “working in workwear” and “301s” threads. I’ll find links later.

they look cool, good job

1st pair bought today. Fit a treat, can't say I agree with 'Relatively highrise'. These are pretty low. I have 555n and 555 03s and these have the lowest of all. Maybe I need to get used to the feel, but I hope no one minds seeing my arse when I bend over!

I only had the relatively high rise with my very first pair where I sized incorrectly = too big. This cut should be comfortably snug in the top block from the beginning.

Comfortably snug…isn't that a Pink Floyd song?  I have sized snugly and they are really comfortable. Just low for a 44 yr old! An extra inch in the rear rise would be welcome. I have 888s in 21 oz, and the rise is great, leg opening a little wider. I'm a size 36 in 555s and 888s. I tried a pair of 14oz 777s today too. Such a difference between the overly loose 38 and not even if I breathe in tight 36.

Don't get me wrong, 555s are the best fitting cut in IH I've come across yet

Seconded! They work for me really well, too! Comfy top block, awesome taper with an excellent leg opening for a modern/slim silhouette. Luckily (or unluckily?) so many new denim options will be coming this fall/winter to choose from.
