The Iron Heart's IH-555S-21od is one serious denim. Using their flagship 21oz indigo selvedge denim, Iron Heart steeps the pair in a black dye using a direct dye process resulting in a dark and black denim with a shade of indigo, similar to how some double indigo fabrics look. Due to the overdye process, all shrinkage is accounted for and results in a medium-to-low rise, slim pair of jeans. Additionally, the denim is quite tough and stiff at first, so you'll need to be patient with break-in.

Prior to 2021, these were previously known as the IH-555-01od.
Note: These are sanforized, one-washed, and overdyed, so expect no shrinkage. Denim will stretch about 1" in the waist after breaking in. For those who like slim fitting jeans, upon first wear the top button should be snug and possibly hard to button-up.
Model: 6'0'' and 175 lbs (currently closer to 170 lbs), with moderate "lifter" thighs, wearing size 33 (one size up from typical size) for a very slim fit through the thighs and legs. The size 33 is hard to button-up at first (but will stretch). Due to the slimness through the upper thighs and crotch, model's mobility is quite limited. Overall the 555 cut is not a great cut for the model (needs more room in thighs).
