Just bought a pair of these based on the same reasoning as yours (my XHS are W35 I bought the W34 in 555's). The taper from thigh to knee is brutal. I've only worn mine for an evening out, so no stretch yet but these will always be snug on me and I expect record fast crotch blowout. Despite all this I kinda love 'em.

That helps to decide my fate lol i could not even think about fitting into a 35 in the XHS

My 36s are a bit too big in the waist. I got them to try and mitigate the thigh/knee tightness, and went too far. Shoulda gone for the 34.

Thanks for the input guys- @sam found me some 666SBG that we think will work best

Looking gooood… what tagsize, and how's the thigh?

[Appfaff]

@neph93 - i had @PattyCakez & @Sam find me the smallest size 36. Thigh is fine, waist is good and I can pull them all the way up (for the most part). I can't believe how rigid the SBG denim is. I was kind of expecting it to be like the 21oz flagship, but it feels much more like the standard superblack, if not more rigid to me.

Overall the top block is very snug on me, which I knew would be the case due to my large "glutes" lol I'm not sure what I was thinking believing I could sneak into a 34 in these.. I wouldn't have gotten them over my knees lol I think getting the smallest waist will keep the top block rather slim even after some stretch.

They Look great! @Appfaff Classic combo with that shirt too! Now you just need a chunky motorbike in that garage!

Ooh wee that's a funky fresh outfit @Appfaff

Having lost some weight and with these showing as having bigger measurements than the 555-01 I picked up the W34. The 36 would have been to big in the waist and topblock. The result is predictably tight thighs. Not sausage leg tight but tight enough that I'm risking crotch rip after 2 months. It's not great, but nor is it a deal breaker.

With regards to the SBG, it's the sulphur dying that makes them rigid. I have the BB's in the same fabric (extinct now) and they have about 100 days wear on them without a wash. They're worn in and soft like the indigo 21oz. They have also stretched out in the same way so fingers crossed my 555-03 do the same.

I love the 555 cut for the high rise and taper. It looks good on big guys and like madmonday said once, we need well fitted jeans too. My problem is the taper from thigh to knee. My glutes stretch the 21oz just fine but my quads, mid thigh and over the knee are biiiig so it's a fit that is always going to be snug on me. But I'll keep persevering [emoji1434][emoji38]

That is the best fit pic i've seen you post mate. Perfect everything. If comfort can find it's way into the equation you're set

Thanks dude - it's been a whirlwind of sizing issues over the last two years with weight gain and loss but I feel I've finally got my handle on sizing stuff right.

Cheers, Adam

@neph93 - thanks for the input on the fabric feel - it's definitely a new material for me and Im sure I will enjoy it.

These have been my go-to jeans this fall. The thighs are a little snug for my taste, but I sized down two sizes to get the waiste right.

[spitfiredealer]

Appfaff they look great on you. I have been wanting this denim for ages but I don't think the measurements will ever work for me in this cut.

[superfuzz]

I wish there was a 666SBG (with black stitching) in regular production.

Thanks dude. On paper, the measurements hinted that they would be huge, but the truth of the matter was they were quite hard to get into. I'll appreciate a little stretch in the waist and top block when it come and probably wont really have to worry about ripping the seems to threads..hopefully not at least.
