I am EXCITED.

Thanks so much, @neph93 - will do. (And will try NOT to buy a leather jacket in the process…)

Can I ask a leather question here? (Mods, forgive me if there is another thread for this - and feel free to throw me over there instead.)

Is leather dyeing a thing? Does anyone know of a reputable place in the UK (pref. London) I could get some tan leather darkened?

Or am I talking complete nonsense?

Thanks all…

This is great - thank you[mention]Giles [/mention]!

Morning - quick Q, do you know when these are due to drop?

@Brock These pictures are unreal. I live in the wrong city. A London 10 miler is lifeless in comparison. Good luck with the trail!

Yep, these look great, @Kasi! I went ahead and bit the bullet too, and am waiting for that little brown bag of loveliness to arrive.

@RoxRocks86  this looks absolutely superb! May have to buy one just to do the very same. Great work.

@Giles:

Best we can do atm…...

And man do these look amazing. It’s either these or the 14oz and I just cannot decide. I don’t have a pair of 14oz IHs yet, nor 25oz…

I suppose the next logical question is will IHUK do a 21oz fade to grey in 666? Without the contrast stitch…

Did see the 25oz is coming soon though.

@sabergirl:

Sounds like you’re looking for the IH-NO-LOT over dyed jeans that were released recently. Have a look at those.

Interesting. Very interesting… If they were black, and had my size, I think you're right - they would definitely be worth a try. Thanks, @sabergirl

@neph93:

If I size the 555 to be trim in the waist then I fill out the top block nicely but I have what I believe Americans refer to as «junk in the trunk». If you can manage the slim thigh then you could consider sizing down.

Thank you for the advice, @neph93, as ever.

Thank you, you lot.

Yes, @Giles I did a compare and it all looked in order. Am a little concerned about the rise, as I generally wear on my hips which already gives denim a slightly baggier look…

@AdamJ Yes, I'd actually looked at that post. A full 1" shrink in the inseam. I quite like how short they are in the photo tbh - but I think that's personal taste.

@neph93 Yes, and that's a bit of my concern - I don't want them too baggy in the arris.

Hmmm, think I might just have to go for it though, given there's only one left. If only IH did a sort of 777-555 hybrid. Low rise, slim through the leg, gentle taper… But I guess that's probably because these are more aimed at men, right?

May I ask for some advice about these? I've just bought a pair of 666s-21, which I'm breaking in and love - perfect oversized fit and exactly what I was looking for, but have also been on the hunt for a solid pair of black, fade to grey, heavyweight denim, which are a slightly slimmer fit, but not skinny, and am wondering if these could be it.

To my eye, reading the measurements, in comparison to the 666s the 555s are a bit longer in the top block, and slimmer in the knee to hem - is that right? Is there anything else I should be mindful of? I did wonder about a pair of 777s (which I have in 21OD) but because of my super short inseam (27-29"), they almost lose the taper and end up a bit bootcut on me, which I'm keen to avoid.

Should also say there's only one left in what I think would be my size so temptation is strong…

Any thoughts/advice/pics very welcome - and thank you!

@Giles:

Swoon - these look great!

Oooo @hoppy_IPA - these are superb. Thank you for sharing.

@Giles:

They'll give.  Though that depends upon how much pressure you put on the waist.  Wearing a belt will retard the stretch….

Thanks, @Giles - maybe  I’ll call up tomorrow and see if there’s any which are a half inch smaller. (Although that said they‘re definitely not as spot on when sitting!)

HA - maybe it's a hem by return then!

Waist question - will it give out? My 777 did at least an inch but that's because I sort of made them. The 666 are currently almost a spot-on fit all round…

Yes @neph93 - that's exactly it. (Well, not the "pockets" bit for me - ha.) I want these low slung on the hips and so there's just too much bulk in the 888 and it throws off the whole shape. The 666 work SO nicely worn lower, and because I've sized up to fit my hips rather than waist, the thighs are good, too. It's slim, relaxed and
a flawless line - the perfect shape imo. Might not take them off. Do IHUK offer hemming while I'm still wearing them?
