@Giles:

They'll stretch.  May be wear for a couple of weeks and then warm soak….

@superfuzz:

Put them in the for sale thread. I might snag them.

Great idea. Done– and thanks for the tip.

After a lot of time thinking the 555s would be too narrow for me I finally gave some a try and decided to jump on the 18oz raws. They're a little bit too big in the top block still but I've only given them one pretty mellow soak so far (45 mins in warm water with agitation only at top block). I was able to avoid too much shrinkage through the leg whilst bringing the Waist and Rises down some what.

Pre            Post
Waist:    38.0          37.3
Front:    11.7          11.6
Rear:      17.2          16.9
Thigh:    13.4          13.1
Knee:      8.5            8.5
Hem:      8.2            8.2
Inseam:  33.0.        32.5

Now that they're breaking in gradually I think the next soak will be heftier as I could certainly deal with them being slimmer through the leg as well as smaller in the top block, which I was aiming to avoid initially.

They look really good, Matt! I always appreciate a semi scentific soak/shrink report too. Makes me think I can do a 36… [emoji51]

We have the restock here.  A cursory measure suggests that there is some variance in size between this run and published measurements.  So, we are going to re-measure and re-publish the sizing chart.  Could be today, may be tomorrow…...

Updated sizing table….

Tommy wanted to enter the next DWC, so he chose these as his weapon of choice

I've decided these are my next IH cut 

Really loving the pronto 22oz right now but the measurements on these look great and I am definitely curious about the 18oz denim.

The fit on these are quite interesting. Never thought I would like them, but I do. I should have some photos up of them soon from a recent trip.
