      Has anyone owned.tried the 555-01 and these? I'm looking for advice concerning the rise difference. I love all aspects of the 555-01 fit except the rise. I'm sure i'm gonna have a crotch blow-out sometime soon as I prefer my jeans to sit on my hips and not pulled up under my armpits grandad style 🙂 Would the 777 offer a similar fit but with a more 634S-esque rise?
      My dream would be a 555 model with medium rise but I presume that's not gonna happen (Giles? 😉 )

        What are the odds these will ever come out in a more stealthy version (blue seams for instance)?

          @bertoni the rise on the 555 isn't high, it's a mid rise as far as I can tell & what does the jeans being pulled up high have to do with a blow-out? u sound about as craqzy as me right now, hahahaha

          @Lucifer if a retailer picks up this cut or if someone pre orders a bunch it might happen, otherwise I don't think stealthy seams is really G$ cup of tea, but wtf do I know just early morning chatting.  how's bizness @Lucifer ? the world seems to be going to hell in a handbasket

            The world seems, indeed, to be heading for Ragnarok!

            Life for me personally is good though, been working my ass of the last few years, getting more tattoos, traveling more! And you? all good? Long time!

                I've been working as little as possible, watching my children grow up, getting no tattoos in recent years as my skin has gotten weak & my tolerance to pain greatly diminished, but I plan on traveling more in 2016 & hopeful to run in an actual race or 2 as I've been forced to take better care of myself by the wife

                stay well @Lucifer  I always had a thing for fallen angels & rebels

                  Your life sounds more constructive than mine 🙂 I do agree that getting tattoos grows more painful for each and every one I get, I had this notion that I "would get used to it", complete rubbish.. 🙂

                  You should head on over to the cold north where I reside on your travels! Lots of nice places to run in the wild, and the weather is… temperate.

                    🙂 Not crazy, but saggy balled maybe?! I dunno, compared to my 634S worn in the same place on my hips, the 555 hangs uncomfortably low in the crotch area. Maybe it's more obvious because they're more fitted in the top block, but the stress on the crotch area is gonna cause problems in the long run and I don't want to have to send the fuckers off for repairs every ten minutes 😉

                      seen all my repairs on my 555 02  . . . so u might have a point . . .or it just might be the way some of us are built, walk, & move around.  I repair jeans in the inner thighs & knees all the damn time regardless of the cut just because of how I'm built & the amount of time I spend crawling around asking for forgiveness, hahahaha

                      either way I'm watching to see which pair you go with

                        Definitely agree with the crotch issues. I think the thickness in fabric makes the rubs worse as well. I always get crotch blowout but I think the more extra fabric you have down there likely adds to the problem.

                          I'm excited for this new run. I grew out of my 21oz Beatle Busters (they were always a bit too tight), but despite them being my favorite pair of denim I always felt like the rise was a little high for me, and they weren't tapered enough after having them hemmed.

                          I think these will be a jackpot  😉

                            The new ones are here and yes indeed they are more to the sizing I had originally envisaged.  So the last 5 pairs of "version 1" are on special at USD235 - that's USD100 discount

                                Quick (maybe redundant?) question: how much stretch can one squeeze out of the thigh-measurements (if necessary)?

                                      Hmmm, it's my best fitting IH-jeans out of the box. I'm pretty happy but also a bit saddish that this cut won't be continued in its first edition… it's an awesome mix between 555 and 666.
