IH-555S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Cut Jeans - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

I have factored in stretch to an extent. I was thinking 33.5-34" to be ideal post stretch for me. But I admit that I am quite new to this stuff. It's possible that the 32.2" would work out fine after quite a bit of initial discomfort. The pairs I have now all started out close to 33".
Sounds like you're exactly the same size as me. I'd also ideally end up with a 33.5" - 34" waist after stretch. The leg (thigh/knee/hem) look closer to ideal for me on a 32, but bigger wouldn't be the end of the world. I just ordered a 33 and asked for a small pair, on the basis that if it's slightly large I just end up with a more relaxed fit, instead of too small where I'd end up with uncomfortable jeans that I'd probably wear less often. Maybe the 32 might have ended up a better fit, but 33 is safer.
One other thing it's worth noting if you haven't already though is that for me (and I guess others) the higher rise on these means I could probably get away with a slightly smaller waist than on other lower rise jeans, since I go in quite a bit at the waist. May or may not make a difference depending on which jeans you're comparing to and how you're shaped.
This is very useful information for me. Thank you.
My true waist is about 32". Upper hips where all my mid rise pants sit are about 33". Not a whole lot of difference but it could be enough to change my size on some pants. I honestly have never owned a high rise pair to say for sure. I also haven't purchased a 555 before so it's probably not a bad idea to measure the front and back rise on my current pairs and see how they might compare.

Question for those who also wear the 777’s:
Should I size up from the 777 if I’m more dad bod than slim and trim. I know these rest higher up than the 777’s.
Normally I would say go for the same tag size, but as these have been washed and look a little closer to their expected chart measurements than previous runs, I would say sizing up could be the right decision
-
Oh man, i hope there's a 36 left on friday (late thursday) for payday
Love these new measurements and the one wash! -
Damn. The 555-03 were my all-time favorite jeans but these will never work for me unless I can find a real outlier in the waist. Wish I'd bought a backup now.

I was planing on getting the stretch denim as my own jean purchase this year but I have lusted after these for so long now I just don't know.
Size up to a 33 and put them straight to work?….

Me too! Was definitely toying with the idea of trying a pair of the stretch, and hell, i still may, but i've been searching for a pair of black denim and these fit the bill

The measurements looks interesting to me, but what would it mean to order and get it shipped over to EU? Only UK stockists carry this model.

Inbound. Really hoping I can make these work
-
Got em and so far love them! Nice top block, fitted but not constricting and great length for my tall ass. Perfect

The cat wants attention!

Quick out the bag pics.
Big up to @Alex for sorting out the sizing on these. Very happy I am finally able to own a pair. Will be back in the post tomorrow to you guys for hemming. I reckon a month of casual wear before I use them for work.

@spitfiredealer I can’t wait to see the damage that you’ll put on these!
-
Well that worked out pretty well… they look tailor made.
Thanks man. Well happy with them.
As much as I am looking forward to trashing them. They look so nice all fresh
