IH-555-03 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

This denim will stretch a lot, so i agree with chris, belt is the only way to avoid it. If you size down you will just put more pressure on the waist when you sit down and lean forward. It will end up being almost the same waist size if you don´t use a belt.
But if you can fit your thighs into a smaller size, maybe you should do that.Enjoy

Another vote for a good belt. I'm glad you are going to get these. They really are a great cut/great denim.

So, based on Giles' comments earlier in this thread, I've gone for the 32 in these (that's definitely it on the denim front for the foreseeable future though… :-[). Was torn between 32 and 33, but waist measurements and 'last pair in stock' meant the 32 seemed the sensible way to play it
My 34 IHxB01 are a great, snug-but-not-tight fit in the waist and I have some room for manoeuvre in the thigh with the 555. Decided to go for these over the 666Sod in the end - loving the initial fade pics I've seen so far and think I'd have struggled with TDF waist/rise/thigh. A proper black pair is missing from the wardrobe at the moment too.
Can't wait.

So you have a BB in 34 that fit snug? hope 32 works for you then…
-
The BB in 34 will have a waist measurement of 33 though so it's not such a big leap.

@Sugar:

Yep - waist of the 32 555 is actually 0.5 bigger than the 34 BB, according to the charts. Hopefully I've got the measurements right…

Ok, a few quickly taken fit pics - would be great to get your thoughts before I give my own take on 'em…

Looks spot on.

Thanks Mega, that's how I'm feeling too. Great up top and below the knee, but pretty tight around the thigh at the moment - can't quite believe there's only 0.3 inch difference from my BBs.
They'll be bang-on when they give a little bit around the thigh

Awesome fit GM..Ur fit is exactly how these should look. Love this cut more and more

Perfect fit! Mine gave a bit at the thigh and knee and are now a lot more comfortable.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, absolutely loving these jeans so far. Fit is a little slimmer than I'm used to, but I think that's partly accentuated by the weight of the denim. Really looking forward to seeing how the combs and stacks develop.
Here are a few better lit pics I managed to grab this morning, with some smarter footwear thrown into the mix…

Raf, are you happy with how you sized these? In other words, if you had a do-over, would you size up?
if there was a 35 i´d would go for that i think, but since there isn´t and since these have stretched in the right places where a bit of stretch was needed, i´m more than happy with the fit atm…so yeah, i´m happy on how i´ve sized these!
