@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.

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.

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.

[shego]

Thanks guys. @FilthyBloodJunkie I have these in the size down - 33 - see my pics of worn denim a few pages back. I have no doubt the 33 is fine, but.. since returning to the gym I've put weight/'chunk' on in all areas; thus the worry there is that the 33 is just that tad too tight.

Hmm! Not sure.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yep. I was going for the skin tight look, so this is why I sized down.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

sooo tight
