    @mr.dead:

    one thing I can wait to see settle down is the "crotch bulge" that you can kinda see in this photo. Sorta looks like I'm always a little excited if I don't adjust the material every once in a while lol.

    Jeans look great, can't say I noticed the bulge, maybe you could do a close-up pic?

          This cut has appeal to me as a"sneaker” jean, but I don't know if I can pull of the thigh measurement and the taper from thigh to knee.  Is there someone out there who owns a size 36 waist and can give me some real life measurements for the thigh and knee (measured the Iron Heart way) after a soak and some wear?  Any help is much appreciated.

            Hy

            Im new here… 🙂 sorry for my bad english 😉

            I want to buy my first iron hearts... 555-02, should i downsize one or two for a really skinny fit?

            How much will they stretch after a soak? Is a soak needed or not, before wear?

            Thx for your help,
            Luca

              If you read the first post, you'll get most of your questions answered.

              and seriously? sizing down 2!?

              are you a girl?

                These are raw unsanforised so a first soak is recommend to bed the fabric in. Overall shrinkage after machine wash/soak with agitation is around 4% horizontally and vertically in the 18oz and more difficult to stretch out than the signature sanforised 21oz.
                I dont own these but had the 666s and still have the 634sv in 18oz raw.
                If you manage your thighs post wash, sizing down in these 555 may work depending on thighs but again 18oz is harder.

                Measure your best fitting pair and compare it with those in here.
                Hope this helps a bit

                And welcome around, first iron heart piece is always special.

                Cheers,

                    Thank you for your help, just bought a 29 of 21oz sanforized here in switzerland… They are damn tight i hope they will stretch about 1" or 1.5"
                    Then they are perfect!

                          Anyone need a pair of these in size 33? I think i'm going to try for a smaller size.

                                          but i am@Giles:
