Need some advises between 555-03 & 777S-od 21oz..?
i don't have chance to try in person and nearest store could far couple of thousand kilometers. i had IH denims & other heavy weight denims like before but managed to reduce several kilo and weather didn't allow for Heavy Weight denim since i moved to Northern Territory, Aus. currently, i am wearing Nudie Lean Dean and feel like i need a pair of black/very dark indigo selvedge denim.I try to find local online stores but no one has those models. My current Nudie Lea dean is 32/32. I’ll try to update the measurement soon as well.
Thanks in advance.

21oz sbg denim in the 555-03 is going to start out more rigid and true black, then get softer and fade gray. 777 od will be blackish blue and softer from the get-go, then fade to a more blue color as the black over dye goes away.
As for the cuts, like @neph93 says, they’re completely different. You’re going to need to learn how Iron Heart measures their jeans, then measure your nudies, and compare to the size charts.
It takes time to do, but good measurements of your favorite pair can tell you a lot about how jeans are going to fit.

Washed every weekend this month. Pre-dominantly right-handed.

Thanks for your inputs, @sabergirl & @neph93.
Following are the measurements from my current Nudie and closest tag sizes of 555-03 & 777S-21od based on waist measurements. only things of 555-03 which makes me hesitate are rises.
And another thing i need to ask IH team is the measurements of Hem openings if i need to hem 555-03 or 777S-210d to 80cm inseams.

Good work with the measurements. There are quite a few things to consider though. Firstly are those Nudie dims talen when newly washed or after wear?
Secondly, the 555-03 will shrink some with a wash or hot soak. You might find you need to size up one. Finally the 21oz OD stretches quite a lot. I really think you’ll need to size down one.

Thanks, Giles.

Those Nudies are still dry since Feb and i wear at least 4 days a week, no soak/wash yet.
OK, so these will be your goal measurements as the jeans will have stretched. In that case the 555’s you’re looking at should be about right as whatever you lose in the waist you should regain, while I would definitely size down in the OD denim. Maybe even two sizes.

Thanks for you advises.
Since size 32 is not available on IH site at the moment, how do you think if i pre-soak "33"?
will it too loose after some wears? or should i size down to "31" and wear Raw?

Or buy from a retailer with the correct size in stock.

Thanks @Crit_Obs, i just grabbed it..
Hope it will fit well as i expected.
You could drop them a message (if you didn’t already), asking them to confirm the measurements before shipping. They are very accommodating and cordial when it comes to such requests.
