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.

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!

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.

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.....

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

[sabergirl]

Dang, Mike! They look great, though. How's your movement?

The movement is good. Squatting down, I am surprised I haven't blown out the knees at the seams. Taking these off is super tough, too. They are like a Chinese finger trap at the knees.

Despite how tight these are, they are still super comfortable.

Nice fit on the 555-03 SBG. Now all you have to do is rock them and get some fades going.
