Hi all,

I have a question regarding sizing.  Waist measures 32.5 inch.  My current jeans and pants are measuring 34 - 34.5.  (I've been wearing them pretty loose)  I'm thinking for these I should go with a size 31 (measuring 32.5) and have them stretch out an inch to 33.5? I won't have problems with my thighs as I am fairly tall and lanky.  Or do you think it will be better to go with tag size 32 (33.5) and wear a belt?

I don't have a chance to try them on and returning them is going to be a pain so I'd like to try to get it right the first time if possible. I'm 183 cm and about 77kg.

Really up to you. Thigh measurement is whats really important on these. Just remember they are 21oz and tend to stretch a lot.

[Gene46]

Yeap the thighs will fit.  I have a pair of jeans with the thigh measuring 11.5 and they are slightly roomy.  So the size 31 with a measurement of 11.3 will fit.  Just wondering how much stretch I can get out of the waist cause 32.5 inch is spot on.  First couple of wears will be painful and I might have to skip meals till they stretch I think.

Wonder if there are variances and maybe I should ask for the largest of the size 31?  :-\

Just bought my first iron hearts today, 555-01, downsized 2, damn hard to sit… but i think, they will stretch just enough... 

Many thanks to iron heart for producing such a fit!!!
i was looking for long time for a really, really skinny fit, and finally found it.
For me, the best cut ever!

Hope they will fade nice

LL you must be slim, no way I could size down 1 let alone 2! but agree it is a great cut…

[LuckyLuke]

Here two pics, one for comparision old jeans and new iron heart (it seams its like one size down i think)
and a fit pic…

im a 5'5" small guy... what do you think how much i have to shorten the jeans?

[Finn666]

fits looks quiet good tbh. …from what i can see (triple cuff?) a hem of 3-4 inches would be good to go with.
maybe you should include a pic of you wearing them with ONE big cuff (cuff folded at perfect length!) so that we have a better view and may have better suggestions for you!

[LuckyLuke]

Thx, its a double cuff… I like doubles!

[Finn666]

ok 2inches off would be my vote then…maybe even 3!
greetings from bern btw.

Luca i also say 2 inches down to a 32 inseam and take it from there. If you like cuffing that should be fine, or down to 31 like Finn suggested.
Go to the shop and get the right length you like.
All depends how u like to wear your jeans. I like the fit from what i can see

Congrats again on your first IH purchase

[LuckyLuke]

Here is how they stack… Ich think its a bit too much now?

[mr.dead]

I'd say a bit too much but it comes down to taste. Personally I like there being some separation from your knee/honeycombs to your cuff. I'd hem at least 4".

[JamesMarg]

Woww hahaha!
Those stacks are EPIC!

Its all up to you LL, if you want to rock huge stacks just do it!

[Bluegrass]

Great fit - you can get away with sizing down since your calfs are thin enough.  Def. need to shorten them some, however.  Congrats I think you made a good choice!

[LuckyLuke]

Has anyone some pictures of faded 555-01?
I want to see some

Take a look at the 634s and buster threads. It's the exact same denim
