Iron Heart's flagship 21oz indigo selvedge Japanese Denim is known for its supremely soft feel, despite its impressive weight. The IH-555 cut is a medium-to-low rise denim with a slim cut throughout the legs. While the 21oz fabric might seem a bit too much for you, these break-in unbelievably well to make for a comfortable yet sturdy pair of denim.
Note: These are sanforized and one-washed, so expect little to 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 hard to button-up. We note that Iron Heart describes the 555 cut as a medium-to-high rise cut, but given the slim thigh and legs, for many these may end up being a medium-to-low rise due to the inability to have the pair sit higher on the waist (due to being constricted at the thighs). Accordingly, if you have slender legs/thighs, these might actually be a higher-rise for you as they will sit higher on the waist and not be constricted by the crotch and thigh area.
Model: 6'0'' and 175 lbs (currently closer to 170 lbs), with moderate "lifter" thighs, wearing size 32 for a very slim / skin tight fit through the thighs. In general the 555 cut doesn't work well for the model given the thigh area being quite tight, resulting in this being a low-rise pair for the model (despite these being a higher rise cut theoretically). If model were at his usual 175 lbs weight, he would not be able to fit in the 32s and would definitely to size up to 33 for more room in the legs; the waist will likely be a little loose on the size 33.
