      @DanielAFC:

      In response to "user" as per discussion from the last page, as I couldn't seem to figure out how to properly use the quote function:

      After a few weeks and an initial hot soak my 33 555-03s are at

      Waist 35" - after.5" initially lost from a soak
      Front rise - 11"
      Rear rise - 16"
      Thigh - 12" (shrank a bit and I haven't stretched it back out
      Knee - 8"
      Hem - 7.5"
      Inseam - hemmed to 34.5, shrank to a bit longer than 33.5"

      Awesome, I think a 33 might be perfect.  I couldn't my calves through a 31.

        Any thoughts as to whether I could pass these off as business casual (initially anyway)?

        I'm at one of those workplaces where I can only do jeans on Friday, but if these appear to be dressy enough…

          Yes, you can. I wear mine with dressy boots and a black suit jacket for the cases I need to look decent, but don't need a full suit. Works perfectly. But you need to be careful, as they fade. Maybe the 666SB is the better choice.

            I agree, I'm torn between the two.

            555 waist to thigh is absolutely spot on perfect for me.  666 would necessitate me sizing up in the waist due to those thighs.  Trying to weigh the certainty of 555 evo vs the fact that they would only be worn twice a week tops over the less perfect fit but far longer work usable lifespan of the 666.  I don't know if you or anyone else has thoughts on how the feel of the denim between the two compares?

              I don't have superblack 666s, but I do have some 9301s that are made of the same denim, and it is tough as nails.  Very stiff and stubborn, especially initially.  After some wear, it softens up a bit, but when you wash it goes back to being pretty hard stuff.  I don't own any of the fade-to-gray denim, but since it is also 21oz. I assume that it might be closer in feel to the flagship 21oz. denim which has a very soft feel and nice drape straight from the beginning.

                The SBG denim is not as soft as the 21 indigo denim. it takes some days of wear to soften up, but feels comfy after that. SB is a different beast, very stiff and heavy.

                I can't make the 666SB thighs work neither. The 555 are perfect in the top block and if you wear them only occasionally or in the office they will last you long enough.

                  Just measured a pair of some slim fitting jeans (Levi's 511) I own using the "how we measure" techniques.

                  These are a bit stretched out at this point but they measure:

                  W  34
                  FR 10
                  RR 13
                  TH 12.5
                  K  8
                  H  7

                  These are pretty tight on my calves and I'm looking for a slightly more straight cut.  So I was thinking I could go with a 34 in the 555-03?

                  Can someone tell me some stretched out measurements on a 34?

                  Thanks!

                    I wear my 34 at the moment.  From my memory / gut the waist is wider, approx 35-36", the rise higher and the thigh pretty much the same as your measurements. From the knee down they feel tight on me. If that's not what you're after, try another cut.

                      just put in my order for a pair of these, sz34. if they look half as good on me as on finn I'll be one happy camper.

                        Hi everyone,

                        first posting in this forum after hanging around for quite a while. Sunny weather in Hamburg - nice light to take a few pics and let you guys know how the black beast is doing over here  🙂

                        One soak and a week of constant wear so far. Shrinkage was moderate, I was a bit concerned about the inseams (I'm 6,4"). The denim has started to soften up and it's getting more and more comfy. I'm very happy with my first IH product, definitely more to follow  😘

                        I like the slim fit a lot though I'm still hoping for a tad of additional stretch in the legs. I knew it was going to be tight but I was afraid to size up (I chose a 32) because the top block would have been to loose. I think this was the right decision.

                        What do you think? Any comments highly appreciated!

                            Cheers from Hamburg! The fit Looks good to me, but a tad tight in the thighs and knee area.

                                After they are worn for a bit they will loosen up perfectly

                                    nice pick-up & fit.  think this denim is soooo nice if you are into black denim.

                                    head high, middle finger higher

                                      Speaking of Black:
                                      The pics didn't even come close to the deep black the jeans shows in reality. To me black is still the most versatile color when it comes to occasions and combinations. Anything goes  🙂

                                          What are the measurements after a few wears?

                                          Right now the measurements are:
                                          Waist:      33.8
                                          Thigh      12.1
                                          Knee        7.9
                                          Hem          7.3
                                          Inseam    36.1

                                          Since taking the pics the legs stretched a bit more and I guess it hasn't finished yet…

                                          Will shoot a fit update in a while.
