      Hi everyone, hope you’re all well and staying safe. I have a question regarding my 555-01s and thought this would be the place to tap into the best knowledge and experience. I’ve lost 20kg/3 stone over the past year and as a result my jeans are not quite fitting me as they used to. Short of putting all the weight back on, does anyone have any suggestions about maybe getting the jeans to shrink down a little? I assume they wouldn’t shrink down beyond their original measurements even with a hot machine wash? I know I might not have much of a chance, but thought it best to check with iron heart scholars first rather than just going for it. Thank you in advance

        Hi @discobeard, hope you are well too.

        You are quite right I’m afraid. You could boil the 21oz for an hour and tumble dry it afterwards and it would not shrink.

          I thought as much. Ah well they work as a more relaxed fit and I love them anyway. Thanks neph 👍🏻💪🏻

            I’ve found that tumble drying them in my drier, which I call the Shrinkmaster 9000,definitely tightens them up every time,and since you’ve lost the weight you won’t be stretching them all the way back out. You’ve got nothing to loose by trying that.

                Any idea when a restock might happen on size 32 and 33's?

                Not exactly sure which size I am right now, but see that both sizes are sold out everywhere…

                    @Oaktavia  Jeans are looking good. Like the outside in the stream photos. Quite hot outside right now.

                                One option is to sell them online. Ive got a few pairs of 555-01 jeans and even though my weight’s fairly stable I think I’ll go from a waist size of 31 to 32. I’ve got the 32 tag size in the 25oz version and although the 31 tag size fits my waist fine and they’re not uncomfortable I prefer the slightly looser fit of the 32 in the knees and thighs especially if I’m out walking.

                                  Hi there,

                                  I already have the 555-01 in 36 and 38 and are just between both sizes, currently 38 seems to fit better  ;D.

                                  Given hot temperatures, I consider buying a 555 in the 14 oz denim.

                                  Could anyone give me suggestion with regards to size/stretch? I assume the 14 oz denim does neitzer shrink nor stretch as strong as the 21 oz does? Should I go for the 38 or the 36?

                                  Many thanks
                                  Daniel

                                      Will these be getting a new patch design like 555-03.
                                      Also when a restock due in.
                                      Thanks

                                      Have a great weekend.

                                        @Kasi We are expecting a restock of these in the next few weeks, approx mid August.  As far as I am aware they will not have a new patch design

                                            Start of day 12.  I can't believe how comfortable they have gotten in less than 2 weeks!  Very much loving the way they fit - definitely an "all day, everyday" pair of jeans.
