1. Don't know until they get here
2. When they do get here, the sizing chart will be updated if they are different from the previous run
3. They you can compare the sizing between the 2 models - bear in mind that the 02 shrink about an inch in the waist and about 1.5" in the leg.  The 01 and the 03 will not

@Giles:

The re-run is complete and ready to ship from Hachioji, should be here in a week/10 days…

Please remind me again about sizing compared to the 02 model?  I've seen a mix of posts in both threads on whether or not people went with the same size as the raw model or sized down.

I took 31 in 555-02's and 30 in these. 555-02's were a little bit big after soak.

[jbwood]

Thanks to both of you.  I know the sizing might change a little bit since the last batch, but was just curious as to what the comparison was from the previous models.

Miiks, on your SBG, did you experienced much stretch in the waist with wear? somebody mentioned this denim is tough to break in at first, I am just wondering if I should go true to size, or a bit tight at first and go through the pain until they stretch to perfect.
Thanks!

[Giles]

• Sanforized, so little or no shrinkage but like all denim, will stretch up to one inch in the waist with wear

[Miiks]

Yep, they stretched out pretty fast.

[Giles]

Properly restocked…...

Hmm, I thought these weren't going to be ready for a few months… massive hole burning in pocket

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I could not resist! Thanks guys.

Don't know if you pulled the trigger yet but if you like them snug then size down a little. They do stretch. My tagsize 34" 555-1's measured 35" new which pinched a little. Perfect at 36" now. Watch the thigh though it stretches proportionally, so only about a third of an inch.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

^Yes, thank you. This is actually my 2nd pair of these. I probably would take a 35 actual measurement, so I got a 33.

[Occupant]

So is the 666 SBG soon to follow?

[Giles]

Did I say they were happening?

Sorry dude, this was bad quoting by me. I was replying to gsg.

@Giles:

You did. Pretty sure it was mentioned elsewhere too.

[Giles]

Whoops.  Thanks for reminding me, I had completely forgotten we were doing these…...We are. I've ordered a load but I don't have a release date yet.....

[Dion]

Looking forward to the 666SBG then :).

[shego]

I sized up from 33 to 34.. What do you guys think? Only worry is the stretch. ]Got these on far easier than my last pair!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I'm definitely feeling the 'bite of the snake.' These are so tight in the calves and behind the knees!

@shego I would have sized down one more size of I were you. But, it is all about personal preference. These do not shrink and will only stretch out more.

[superfuzz]

@shego I think that is a good fit. If they stretch in the waist you can always wear a belt. But it's all about personal preference and how you like to wear your jeans.
