      I love black denim, the practicality of a 5pockets jeans (that we all love) with that touch of elegance that makes them very classy. When i got the 555 the bare stiffnes of the thing put me a little off. This is just my second heavy weight jeans, i now wonder how the Mega busters will feel like.

      post soak fit. This isn't the confiest jeans i own, the knee is a bit too tight, but I love the fit. With my 634s i am covered in any situation.

          I washed mine before wearing them, too.  I wanted to get any shrink that was in them (and there was enough to make a difference in the thigh and knee) out before wearing them so that they'd stretch where needed, but be a slim as possible everywhere else.

            I tried on the IH-8301s SBG at Self Edge in a size 31 and they were spot on.  Would I be ok in a size 31 in the IH-555-03?  They look pretty much the same according to the sizing on this site and the SE site.

            Following up on this before I pull the trigger.

              where you from?
              if you're from europe, I'd say just pull the trigger in your size and exchange if needed…isn't that much of a problem!
              would be a bigger problem if you're from the us or some other country, where an exchange is a bit more of a hustle!

              but if you think the measurements are almost the same, I'd go with the 31 in these as well!
              from my thoughts I had back then (deciding to go for 8301S or these!) I also would have went with a 34 in the 8301S, as I did with the 555-03's later on!

                they were so stiff i wanted to soften them with a soak and to make the hemming stiches settle.
                Also i like them to stay as black as possible so i removed the excess color and soaked with soap to fix the color…

                  I'm in the U.S.  Good to hear about your sizing between the two also.  I think I'll just go with the 31, it seems that the measurements are even slightly bigger in the 555 which would work too my benefit as well.  Thanks for your advice Finn!

                      This version seems to have a noticeably higher rise than the raw and 21oz indigo (good thing), has it?
                      This is a second pair of jeans that Max P. really sold for me -but are sold out! 🙂

                                My guess is 6-8 weeks

                                    Finn or other guys with legs - how much stretch have you got out of the thighs so far?

                                      Mine have stretched a little in the thigh after a month or so of irregular wear (2-3 times a week).  Like Finn, I decided against soaking.

                                      The combs are going to be intense - when they eventually start fading 😉

                                        Mine go from "Damn, these are tight," to "Damn, these are comfortable," within a few hours every time they come out of the wash.  I haven't measured them, but they stretch plenty.

                                          Thanks for the kind words moykyy 🙂 i havent worn mine for three weeks and really  look forward to do so again. i have some grey hues at somecplaces but no real fades. and i am not keen on getting some, as i like plain black. just thinking of hemming those….finn, have you already done it?
