Yessir. What made you want to pick up the 301s over the 555-01? Just curious

they are different cuts right? I'm not sure why people seem to equate them

plus I like the loopy arcs

Not sure on the difference besides the minor details but was under the impression similar in cut

301 is a true taper, 555 i would consider a slim straight

the 301 cut is uniquely slim below the knee while remaining comfortably unslim in the top block because it is tapered from the outseam (hence the lack of a selvedge edge)

the 555 and other slim straight cuts that retain the selvedge edge are only tapered from the inseam, the outseam has to remain straight, so to achieve a slim lower leg the top block also has to get slimmer

^thanks man…. now i understand why those who own both claim the top block of the 301s more comfortable

Hi all! I'm new here and just landed my first pair of Iron Hearts: the 301s. Like many other hapless fledgling wearers, I think I need some sizing help.

I'm tall and slim, 6'2 with a 32 waist (I wear 32 in the slim Self Edge x Flat Head Jean); I got the 301s in a 32 and the waist is just perfect right now. I'm worried it will stretch out too much though and that I should be wearing a size down. Rather than typing a wall of text I thought I'd just try to show a pic and see what you experienced people think. Sorry for the crappy quality, had to take them myself. You should be able to get the idea though. Should I be rocking the 31? I like a skinny jean but I don't want it painted on or looking ridiculous.

Spring Son of Light I went TTS on the 301s and they are my best fitting jeans. My size is 34.

Contact Self Edge, they have exclusivity for the 301S, thus all the knowledge.

Thanks Twin, I decided to stick with TTS. While I could have pulled off the next size down, I think the rise would have looked silly (I hate the slouchy thing).

BTW, how often have you washed your pair? Do you machine wash?
