      I'd guess 10-12 weeks.  G

          I was wondering if anyone could chime in on sizing for the 555-02. Did people size the same as for the 01 or 03? I ask because a 31 in the 18 oz is listed as a 32.5 inch waist raw. So that means if soaked properly it should go down to around 31.5 or possibly smaller (I've never had this denim so I don't know exactly how much it shrinks). How much will it stretch out afterwards? Seems like I'd need to size up one to the 32, as I don't know if I could count on getting 1.5 inches + of stretch on these.

            cheers madmonday (mark?). the shoes are a recent purchase - 70's italian made leather in almost new condition.

            as for sizing on the 555's, i got the 31 and lost an inch in the waist but gained it back after 10 wear perhaps. it will stretch beyond eventually if you make it. as for the regular 21oz indigo version, assuming it's the stock 21oz you'll get a fair bit of stretch over time. i have a pair of 301s which have stretched almost 2 inches over the years.

              Wow - these arrived in the post today and, I have to say, I was nervous about ordering the 18oz denim as I'm a huge fan of the 21oz, have many pairs, know how it behaves and what size to pick etc but these feel amazing! They are a little easy in the waist and top block at the moment and tight through the legs though I'm guessing the top block will fit well after a soak and the legs will stretch back if I pull them on damp (right?).

              Stunning denim - so much character!

                  I think I've also solved the mystery of the 21oz tag. Having now soaked them I'm convinced that Haraki-San meant '21oz post soak'. If anyone spots someone trying to walk around London tomorrow without bending their knees that'll be me. I'm guessing these things take a while to break in. Absolutely loving them though and looking forward to my first full day of wear.

                    They don't take as long to break in as one might think.  I thought the same with my first pair.

                                thank you kindly,

                                i got a pair of 01's for you to try on in a 36 slim  ;).

                                funny thing about this cut is the only issue i have are my calves, sometimes they feel a bit close for my liking.

                                      thanks

                                      the rise on these is pretty low, pretty sure my 9301s & 7301s had either a higher rise, or my belly sat lower so it made it comfortable & doable for me (if that makes sense) i know the big H is famous for the 21oz stuff & just heavy in general (23, 25, superblack), but this 18oz denim is insanely nice & all it is going to take is the right contest pair getting some light & then 18oz nothing is going to be able to stay on the shelves . . . .
