Small restock of missing sizes

If I'm looking for a pair of heavyweight jeans with 30.5" waist and 6.5" hem, is 555-02 size 29 the right model for me? it has 31" waist and 6.8" hem. after soak, they'll probably shrink to 30"/6.6". and after some wear the waist will stretch back to 31". is that correct?

[Giles]

Yep….

@madmonday:

After wash, no repair . . .yet

i think that's it . . . hahahahaha

Many of those shots are actual "desktop" quality.. Magnificent stuff!

How much do these stretch?

[Giles]

• NOTE: These will shrink approx 1.5" in the leg and 1" in the waist after first soak/wash. With wear the waist will stretch back out approx 1"

@Giles:

So if I buy the size 29 the leg opening will shrink to approximately 5.3 inches since its originally 6.8 inches?
Or is that 1.5 shrinkage for the length of the inseam? How much shrinkage could I expect in the leg opening?

[Chris]

That's for the inseam.  You'll get maybe half an inch of shrinkage in the thigh, knee and hem.

Any idea if/when there might be restocks of the sold out sizes? I'm really interested in a pair of 31's and the 18oz and would be stoked to get them a little worked in before the blazzin australian summer kicks in.

[Giles]

Late August I am afraid.

So I took the plunge and bought a pair of these in a 33w.

This is them post soak, which really helped tighten things up a little. The 33w were slightly too big in the top block and waist but a soak took all that in a bit. The thighs are a little tight at the moment but with some wear these will loosen off. The waist could be 1" too big but it doesn't bother me too much.

I really had to base the size of the thigh measurements. But I'm very happy with them and I love the fit.

Thanks man!

Yes, you can always wear a belt.  Deferring to thigh measurements is a smart move.

Managed to find a store carrying a size 31 and they arrived today!

I tried them on at work and thought they felt a bit looser than I expected given the measurements posted by everyone and the size chart. I think I'll have to size down, no biggy, the fabric is pretty shweet. Was just a bit bummed I may have landed a pair running pretty large…was looking fwd to busting out an IH suit over the weekend.

Measured them a few times for accuracy, would you say this is normal variation?

Tagged size 31/36

Thigh 11.75"
Knee 7.8"
Hem 7.5"
Inseam 38"

Pre or post soak?

[yoda]

Pre soak

[sellhimechoes]

I thought my pair was quite big pre as well but post soak they began fitting better.

I think the rear rise should really be an inch or so shorter though, just for a tighter, cleaner fit.

[yoda]

Well it just presents me with a much higher rise than expected. I was thinking I'd be under 15" after a soak but thats not gonna happen at 15.75

Again, its not a big drama just glad the store has a 30 I can go down to. Was just curious about what the consensus was on the measurements. Feel lucky I could find some of these before its too hot in Sydney.

@yoda who is stocking ironheart in Sydney?!
