great shit mickey! @madmonday must be your most worn pair iirc!?

[seanocono]

Agreed. Those look excellent.

[madmonday]

yeap @Finn666 most worn pair of anything ever . . . well except my glasses & my belt. thanks for the kind words both of yous.

now just to figure out what i'm going to wear next full time as i can't wear these to work anymore.  i find i may like a jeans fit but i'm so spoiled with IH back pockets that it ruins a lot of fits that would be otherwise be very good. maybe i'll start a thread for which jean fits me the best & rock out that way . . .

Had to do some home made alterations on them.

Basically, they click when I walk which is VERY annoying. I can only assume this is due to the roomier top block than what I'm used to.

I turned them inside out, and right where the front and back rise meet, I made a little fold and stitched it with some thread which tightened up the whole top block while also reducing the rubbing and 'clicking'.

I can't see the thread lasting long but they are now wearable!

Anyone else experienced the clicking/rubbing of the crotch area?

[spitfiredealer]

Wear them more they will soon stop "clicking". Don't think stitching a fold will be a good idea

Well…. it seems like a good idea. No more clicking and I can wear them now without sounding like I'm breaking cardboard with every step.

Plus, for me, the rise is tighter so I don't need to wear them halfway up my back anymore.

… couldn't explain it any other way...

That sound will go but up to you i guess. Did you size true? Or one up?

Sized up. I had to to accommodate my thigh size. I've probably got a good 1.5" spare in the waist.

Thought so, had the same on a pair of Samurai's which i sized up on. Once the denim softens the clicking goes.

Cool. It's a catch-22 just now. Can't wear them as they click - yet that's the only thing that will stop them clicking

I'll just persist with the bad boys then (and take the stitching out…...)

Are the rear-rise measurements on size 34 and 36 displayed correctly??

[Giles]

On the samples we measured for the sizing table, yes.  And I can tell you, when we see an "anomaly" like that we measure, measure and re-measure.

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of 555-02 today. My first ironhearts, more than a bit excited!!

[Dion]

You will love the fabric and its astonishing quality :).
