@Thepins:

Hi guys, fit check.

Bought a 666s 14oz waist measurement at 38.3. After using a month it now stretches a good inch and now im kind of having a diaper butt. Planning to get the 555s 21oz. Any idea what size should i go in this? Maybe a “smaller 38?” Since i read the 21oz stretches more.

If you can go down a size. The 555 has a much bigger top block than the 666.

Hello guys. I was size 29 in the 555-01, should I get the same in the new restock? measurement specs seem to be the same

Unless a new size chart was published along with the restock (which you would see here), then the dims are broadly the same.

Here are my Indigo Snakes.
Just starting to pop a little.

Photo taken at an angle that best shows it IMO.

Hi,

Will the inseam stretch out or shorten (honeycombs) with wearing?

Thanks

Shorten…...Maybe 1/2 inch or so

Here is my first pair of IH denim.

Initially, after researching a bit, I thought I needed the 888S-21.  However, after trying them on I found the 888 was too roomy in the top block, at least for my body shape. I returned those went went in the opposite direction and pulled the trigger on the 555S-21 and I'm quite happy with them. Maybe a touch more taper from the knee down would be spot on for my taste.

Good call @Skelly. That is a nice big guy 555 fit. Wish I could pull it off [emoji1]

Those look really great. Love the cuffs. Will you get them hemmed?

[Nik]

Agreed that’s a great fit

Thanks man. Trick is to be disproportionately out of shape so you have to size up lol

Thanks! I may hem down the road. Though, I think the cuffs help shrink the hem a bit (which is a good thing for me as I like a bit more of a taper in my denim than a hemmed 555 would offer)

Thanks very much.

Some progress pics of my first pair of iron hearts after it’s first wash  about two years of wear with 4 soaks and 1 wash.

Classic 21oz fades. How is the crotch holding up?

[Oz430]

@neph93 Holding fine! No sign of tears just yet

I think around 140 wears with these guys. Been wearing my XHS all winter and will soon break these out again.

Light blue sashiko thread looks great
