    @jotishan you can compare thigh measurement across cuts but what most people forget is that the thigh dims are taken at the top of the thigh. It is useful to consider the width from thigh to knee to get a sense of how things taper. The 555 is described as “super slim” because the knee measurement is the smallest of all IH cuts. The thigh tapers heavily towards the knee, while the 666 has much less thigh to knee taper.

      @Gnat6613:

      Can any experienced XHS owner provide me with the best marbling/white lines proof washing method?

      So far I plan to soak inside out, wash in machine on warm (inside out still) low/no spin, hang dry.

      That is a good plan. I wet mine with the shower head thoroughly, turning them inside out half way through. Then straight in to the machine to wash on 30 or 40C, lowest spin setting (400rpm on my machine). Never had a problem with this.

        @neph93 Ok so you mean the thigh to knee taper is much visible in this cut compared to the 666? I can see that already from the measurements between the two cuts. But for me the thigh on this 555 for the same tag size is much generous than the 666 and the knee measurements is roughly 1 cm slimmer for the 555 which should work out.

        My very first IH is a 555N, but I made the mistake of sizing it too high where I went with a Tag size 32 which was comfortable in the beginning, but it stretched out to an extent where it sags down a lot and gives me a diaper butt (due to the very high back rise). If the waist should sit on spot, this will be the very best fit / cut for me. So I hope to get the sizing right on this one. I'm waiting for the EU shipments to be sorted out. Tag size 30 is available already, so I might give both the 30 and the 31 (hope a restock soon) a try and stick with one that suits me.

        IH-555N | IH-666S-21 | IH-777D | IH-666 XHS | IHG-035 | IHB-06 | IH-721-KHA
        IHSH-251 | IHSH-07 | IHSH-246 * 2

          Hello all,

          Very long time lurker, first time poster… At least maybe first time in a long time.

          Just received my 555XHS from Rivet and Hide in size 30. Amazing and swift service!

          Unbelievable quality. The thickness of this fabric is insane!

          Tried them on and they fit well… Buttons were nearly impossible to button. I used the handle of a toothbrush to help elongate the holes. That worked well.

          I immediately soaked them in warm water with a quarter cup of detergent, agitated thoroughly, and then rinsed them in the backyard with a garden hose. I dried them hanging off a hanger and in front of a fan and I am wearing them now, very slightly damp. Took a grand effort to get the top button buttoed but I got it done.

          This cut and this fabric is sensational. I’m so excited to begin this journey.

          For reference, I am 5 foot 7 inches, 161lbs, and I have an athletic build - I am 46 years old. I wear size 32 in the 666 21oz and a size 32 in the 555 21oz. I also own a pair of 2009 Ueno bought 634S size 30, Self Edge SF bought 301’s and 633’s. The 555 (in 21 and 25oz) is hands-down a MASTERPIECE. Cheers to Haraki-san, Giles and the whole Iron Heart family and community.

                  Just placed an order for these. I'm highly doubting they'll replace the 555 SST's I just picked up, as I'm now spoiled by stretch as a motorcycle rider. However, I've wanted 25oz jeans since I started this addiction and the restock was a perfect chance to add them to my collection.

                  Also, I really want to see them stand up on their own LOL 😃

                                I am a long time lurker here and finally able to join in and say 'Hi' after I received my pair of IH-555-XHS today along with my Wesco Jobmasters. I have to thank Ben Anders for his amazing help at IH in selecting this pair for me after we worked through some sizings.

                                I take a 32" waist but got a 33 Tag which had a slightly larger 34.5" waist to make allowances for any shrinkage. It took me about twenty minutes and a near broken thumb to get them done up, reminds me of the pain learning to play guitar  😉 but all good!

                                Being somewhat vertically challenged at around 5' 6" I normally take a 32" leg, these are 36.7" I think I like the double cuff over the single and I think that the bottoms could turn out some nice markings once the shrinkage pulls them up a bit, be great to hear some thoughts.

                                But, I am sat in them now, do I continue to wear to stretch or is it better to give a first soak, any guidance on these superb 25oz would be great.

                                It is great to finally join the Iron Heart family and I cannot thank Ben and the team enough for such a great first time experience in such a wonderful product and brand.

                                Cheers Nick

                                  I would strongly recommend do the soak/wash now. If they were tight from the off their may have been something to gain from wearing for a while, but seeing your fit, I’d get the shrinkage out now.

                                    They are soaking as I type  😉 I will drip dry and then put out in the sunshine, or it better indoors, I don't want to tempt too much shrinkage?

                                    I have been breaking in the Jobmasters, they are super comfortable. What is recommended to feed the leather this first time and waterproof?

                                      Outdoors, but in the shade as the sun can fade then prematurely (unless you're going for that, then all power to ya!)

                                        Drying does not cause shrinkage, lubrication and agitation does.

                                          The domain leathers are waxed so are fairly waterproof already. Seeing as these are new, the leather shouldn’t need anything for a while.

                                          However if they are going to see a lot of water/snow/ice/mud, I would recommend a silicon based treatment for the uppers and some kind of natural oil/wax/creme for the midsoles.

                                          The other option is to do nothing and bare witness to the glory that is a trashed pair of Wesco’s. They’ll still last for years even with negligent treatment.
