@wunnaz:

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.

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.

Those Nudies are still dry since Feb and i wear at least 4 days a week, no soak/wash yet.
Thanks for ur suggestions and i'll keep in mind.

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?

[Giles]

I'd wait until the next production run is available, probably December…..

[neph93]

Agree with Giles. Certainly don’t size up. While sizing down might work in the short run, you’ll have to get them wet at some point and then they’ll shrink.

[wunnaz]

then.. i think i should go with 777s-od (33) first.

Cool beans. 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.

I believe I couldn’t get better fit than this. Super happy with this. Thanks for your advise, mate…!!!
Now I have to struggle with nice weather of Northern Territory, minimum 33C [emoji28][emoji2957][emoji41]

Well that went very well indeed, they look excellent. Congratulations again. Any shrinkage you get from a wash/soak, you’ll regain from stretch with wear so I think you’re golden.

As far as 33C goes, it makes me happy that I live where I live. It’s 1C here this morning.

Everybody loves a good selvedge, at least on the forum…

Hi, Can i ask any recommended tailor to hem 555-03 in Australia?

The 21oz is normally not a problem for a non denim specialist seamstress or tailor to work with. However, if you want a chainstitched hem then that is another matter. Perhaps @louisbosco or @Graeme can advise?
