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

[Nik]

Agreed that’s a great fit

@neph93:

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

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)

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

@Nkwkfld thanks…I'm happy to have a friend nearby that can sew.

Sorry for perhaps some old tired questions.

I'm about to buy an unused 2nd hand pair of 555-01 and I'm curious on this fit, since I already own a pair of 666s 21.

On paper, as someone mentioned earlier in this thread, the specs don't seem that different from the 666s 21, but apparently they do look slimmer around the legs and in the hem.

Aside from a higher rise/roomier top block. The Hem/leg opening seems to be roughly "only" 1 cm difference from my 666's (20 cm). Is this enough to really show any difference?

And second question: Is the fabric the exact same fabric as the 666s 21oz?

[Kasi]

Same fabric

Different fit as the 666 is a medium rise slim fit and the 555 is a high rise more slimmer

[sabergirl]

Top block on the 555 will be a little more relaxed than 666, but the taper starts at the thigh, making a slimmer leg throughout.

Thanks sabergirl and Kasi,

I'm afraid they’re a little too baggy for me though. I'm torn because I'm used to my 666s 21 in size 32. These 555's are 33.

The roomier top block make them comfortable, but perhaps a little too relaxed? I know I couldn't wear these without a belt.

What do you think? I might put them up for a trade looking for a pair in size 32 if I end up never wearing these.

And here's a couple of images of how my 666's fit.

[sabergirl]

Size or 2 down in the 555 would probably fit better. They look wearable if you wanted to keep ‘em.
