    @Giles:

    No plans to re-run in the short term.  The 01 and the 03 are being re-run atm, but the 02 is selling much slower (for reasons i simply do not comprehend)
    Exactly the same
    We designed the patch and then decided to run the 18oz raws too.  300 patches is the minimum, so we decided just to go with the original patch

    i've noticed the 02 getting less love here too - makes no sense to me at all.

                  Got my 555 02 today, fits just  the right tightness in the waist and hips so confident that after sok and then wear thay will stretch back to be bang on. Little concerned at the knee area tho? if I lose much more there they going to be super tight! if i wear them whilst soaking in will that prevent to much soak or just delay shrinkage till the next soak or wash?

                  Jeans themselves are beauties, nice texture and detail in the denim and they are as stiif as a board!:-)

                    you are right, the shrinkage will just be delayed and will occur after the next soak/wash (as long you are not in them again)

                      Raw jeans shouldn´t be tight unsoaked/unwashed. You won´t have that much fun in the long term. Or try the Ruedi method 🙂

                      why so serious?

                        Post soak I lost an inch in the inseam, about 3/4 inch in the waist and 1/4 inch in the thigh and knee. The fight is tight at the moment but confident with wear it will be bang on. May soak again before I take it in for hemming on the weekend. Thumbs took a battering getting the buttons done up though 🙂

                            The fit is perfect, just got them back from being hemmed. Noticed though that some of the stitching is visible down the outside of the outer seam as if it's coming lose even though it's not under stress, is this common with IH? I'm worried the seam isn't going to hold?

                                2 things might have occurred

                                a- too tight

                                b- when you were turning your jeans inside out during the soaking process, you might've put too much stress on the outseam

                                  Definitely not to tight, had tighter fits post soak no problem and it's visible down the entire length of the leg at points there is not stress such as the ankle, stressed seams from turning inside out….. Surely not?
                                  Giles, pics to follow give me short while.
                                  I will email them over to you hopefully I'm just being paranoid!

                                      random question - are these a natural or synthetic dyed indigo?

                                          Second soak done to get anymore shrinkage out of the way. Loving the denim on these, so much character to it.
