          Finn, these will def shrink like an inch over time, in the inseam.  Sanforized denim shrinks 1%-3%. It's a twill weave, all twill weaves shrink to some degree.

              Quick noob question: I just call The Works to arrange the hem-job and a very helpful lady asked me if I rather prefer chain-stitching or some other option I didn't quite get (sorry but I still have to work on my Japanese stitching lingo) which is more resistant according to her.

              Does the chain-stitching have any particular advantage? Shall I go with the other option instead?

              Thanks in advance.

                Chainstitching tends to create more roping, but is a fundamentally weak stitch and can unravel.  Chainstitching became unpopular in the 80's with the jeans manufacturers who were stone washing etc, the chainstitched hem just kept busting, so they replaced it with a lock stitch.

                I am not sure if the alternative The Works offer is lockstitch, but personally I would go with chainstitched hem.

                                great fit Mickey. perfect cut for you i'd say!

                                how would you compare (in fit) this 03 w34 with your 02 w36 btw.?

                                  thanks for the kind words.  this pair feel a great deal slimmer than the 36s & are close to the 8301s I had in a waist 34 many moons ago.  the measurements provided by CLJ were spot on as i can comfortably get in & out of these & even tuck a shirt.

                                  i know folks say the 301 series from Self Edge & the 555 from the Denim Vault aren't the same cut, but they feel really similar on my legs & i'm a sucker for those selvedge id details.

                                  strongly considering the 18oz 555s, variety & all that

                                  head high, middle finger higher

                                    ah so you have both 21oz versions now (blue 01 and black 03), right?
                                    (just to make sure to understand what the comparison is biased on!)

                                    this cut is a golden one imo, cuz it makes even us bigger dudes look a tad slim at some point 😃 also it has the perfect waist/thigh/hem ratio (for me at least!)…

                                    thanks again mike!

                                      correct, i have the  flagship denim 555 01 & these (555-03 sbg).  i like the devils cut better on my frame & just at my present station in life (these are really slim) . . . but i do agree as a bigger man i do not feel ridiculous when i look at my self in the mirror or walk down the street in these 😉

                                      V6power (Vincent) & the Denim Vault thanks for commissioning these

                                      **just noticed the 18oz are gone baby gone in 34&36, that saves me a few dollars

                                        need to go for the 555 01 at some point then, also a w36 i think! should be the perfect fit for me…and i love that flagship denim to death 😘

                                          im loving the fit of my new 555 but this sbg denim is stiff as hell. should i be expecting to soften up at least a little?
