IH-555-03 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

From reading your posts it sounds like the tag size 32 is your best bet. After some wear the waist will stretch back out to the unwashed measurements or maybe even farther. I think it's a good idea to start with the waist being nice and snug to account for the stretch.
I know this can be a bit nerve wracking at first. We've all been there. Don't let it drive you too crazy!

I’ve been trying to do my research and get the fit exactly how I’d like them but all it did was make me second guess myself even more lol…
This is entirely normal!
Please, please confirm that the thigh will be ok before you proceed though. If you have thighs on the larger side these can be an impossible challenge.

@Palmer this is exactly what my initial train of thought was but I dug TOO deep! I just got a pair of 777S-21 and really like them but I misjudged and they’re a bit looser than I typically wear so I definitely want to get these right
@neph93 i think I should be just fine when it comes to the thigh. The post-wash thigh measurement should be damn near identical to the pair I’ve been wearing for about a year and a half now. Thanks for looking out though, I definitely appreciate it

Thanks for the reply. I finally ordered them and am really looking forward to receiving them. I decided to go with the tag size 31 which is approximately a one inch bigger waist than my usual size. I always wear a belt with jeans so a larger waist should be fine. I take a tag 31 in the indigo version but the thighs are slightly tight so the extra room should come in handy. Went for a couple of inches extra length on the inside leg so I’ll cuff them. Re the washing I’ll probably do a cold hand wash with a mild denim detergent.
Update: received them today. A really nice fit, I’m glad I opted for the same tag size as the indigo 555-01 version.

Just what I have been waiting for. Only to be disappointed, I am between sizes. Needed a 37” waist.
Ah well have to keep looking. -
@Joemac501 We'll have a look when we are back in the office in the morning to see what bigger 34's or smaller 36's we have and will drop you an email.

Great, thanks Graham.

Did tag size 26 get cut from the team? ???

After missing out on the last couple of runs I have finally got a new pair. Currently wearing my old pair as they're so damn comfy
Will be soaking this pair in the bath as I have post-soak-stress from the SBG CPO that I f*cked up in the wash on my usually trusty settings!
Will get some comparison pics up soon

Picked up a pair of these. Boy they seem tough. Going to soak before wearing…....

Something about the sulphur-dying makes them a different proposition to the indigo 21oz. Tightens the weave and stiffens the fabric somehow. They’ll shrink a little when they see water but they do soften up with wear.

Thanks for that. Am a newbie, so heavy denim seems REALLY heavy, and London’s hot at the moment, so I’m not rushing to begin breaking them in. Lol. Will soak, however.
