    @Giles:

    I have deleted a lot of posts.  Nothing was being gained from the discussion.

    I am going to try and invent an anti-shrinking machine.  That way I can shrink every pair of jeans, publish the results and then de-shrink them.  That should fix quality control.

    So are you going to keep deleting my posts to polish this thread for your business? Seems you have a hard time accepting a problem here, Giles. Anyway I'll be soaking my pair again tomorrow a little longer than before with some agitation  😉

      "accepting a problem"…what problem mate?

      Giles said you can expect 3% shrinkage MAX which is 0.2" in the hem, so if you ain't getting those in the hem, let's say you're getting the hem to shrink to 7.2" that still sounds about right…so I really don't see a "problem" here mate. all is good, you might just try to wash them one more time at let's say 40-60C and if you ain't getting what you were looking for, you just have to live with it or sell'em...you really can't do more about it!

      @Giles:

      If the waist shrinks about 3% (1 inch out of 30), then the most the hem will shrink is 3% of 7.3.  That is only 0.2 inch.

        I'm upset that you think there is a problem, but the problem is in your head.  This denim shrinks about 3%.  If it has not done so yet, it will.  How on earth do you think that one pair of jeans made out of a roll of denim will behave any differently than any of the others made out of the same roll.  "Polishing" the thread does you more good than me.  That is my final public word on this.  If you want to take it up with me via PM, please do.

          Hello again!  😃

          Looking at these IH-555 in a size 36.

          I measured a pair of great fitting jeans a few minutes ago and here are the measurements, these jeans have been soaked, washed several times. And also worn!!!

          Waist: 48 cm across
          Knee: 23 cm across
          Thigh: 33 cm across
          Hem: 21.5 cm across

          Can I do a size 36 on these? Or do I go with the unsanforized 21 oz IH-55-01´s?

          I really want a slim tapered fit that´s snug allover. Nothing crazy like Cheap Monday BS though 😛

            Hi Alex81.

            If you take a look at the measurements, 36 sure looks like the right size for you.

            But it all depends. Are the jeans you just measured tight on you in the waist ? cause then you might need another 0,5 inch to be able to squeeze inside these beauties.
            With a little experience you can control the size of your jeans a little bit.
            Cold/hot soak or wash, tumble dry, and you can also stretch the inseam while still damp.
            Once i even used a jack (thing for lifting a car) to make a little more room for my thighs.
            Not recommendable if you expect Giles to repair or give you another pair if this thing breaks through 😉

            I always size down, and wait for the denim to stretch….......and after only a few weeks i exhale

            Go for it, and if it's your first pair of IH, welcome to the club 😉

              Car jack?! That's out of the box thinking.

                    i'm guessing from other posts that these are a very similar cut to the 301s. i'm a 32 waist and got the 301s in a 30 waist. when i finally got them on they were ridiculous and i couldn't walk up stairs, but after much faith and persistance, not to mention bruising, they are now the most perfectly fitting, soft and amazing jeans i own. all denim will stretch, just have to put the work in. even after a month and you regret buying them as they aren't as perfect as you want them to be they budge a little more and get better. you get out what you put in

                        i wouldn´t say "by far"…the 7301S w34 i had and the 555-03 w34 i have are imo the same when it comes to the topblock. the other measurements aren´t that different as well, so actually pretty similar imo!

                          how do this compare to the 555-1..

                          thinking about getting either this or the 21oz version..

                          worried the 21oz will be too hot in summer..

                          where is summer all year long here in malaysia.

                            If you're worried about which of the two will be hotter, get the 21 oz. It breathes fantastically and is surprisingly cool.

                              so the 21oz breathes better compared to the 18oz..

                              must be due to the weave?

                                That is correct, the 21oz is a more open weave.

                                          I just got my first pair of Iron Heart jeans, the 301s from SENY, they feel so great! And I'm already thinking about getting a second pair! I'm trying to decide between the 666 and the 555 fit in the 18oz denim. I'm a little confused because according to the IH site the thigh on the 666 is .9" smaller than the 555, in size 29, even though the 555 is a slimmer fit. Is that correct? I have to wait for IH to get either fit in a size 28 anyway.
