      Thanks @AdamJ. Good to see you echo the other advice I've had.

      As for the 555-16s. I'll see if I can upload some pics to that thread. I've worn them pretty much every weekday since I got them.

                      About to pull the trigger on these. Anyone got any further advice re. sizing. Measurements for my 555s-16 Vintage Selvedge Super Slim post-wash so before they'd stretched back out:

                      Tagged 34 (worn since March 2019 with a number of washes)

                      Waist: just over 17 inches
                      Front rise: around 11 inches
                      Back rise: says 15 inches, but might not be measuring correctly
                      Upper thigh: 11.5 inches

                      Not looking to soak these as I doubt they'll ever dry  😃

                        The thigh measurements came out bigger,on these, than other iterations of the 555 cut. These clock in at 12.9 for a Tag 34.

                                  Cheers. Sounds like a 33 or possibly even a 32 might be my best bet. Probably best to lean towards a 33.

                                    OK this denim is THE most insane stuff Ive ever seen in my life… my first impression of the XHSib is gonna leave a permanent scar on my brain (and knees & thumbs).  thankful this latest run has a wider thigh.  just enough room to squeeze into these brute's.  sure hope this denim softens up & loosens in the tight spots just a bit.

                                    ill try & get a better pic this weekend.  y'all are very good at helping out with fit advice and i look forward to getting a bit of feedback.  so far one of the best pieces of advice I've read here is that waist should be snug at first for IH jeans & perhaps other "stress" points so that the jeans break in to fit your body better down the road.

                                    for a data point, here is how I measured the tag 34 jeans:
                                    W: 35.1” (precisely as requested)
                                    FR: 11.4”
                                    BR: 16.25”
                                    Thigh: 12.9”
                                    Knee: 8.4" @ IH's guided 13" down & 8.3” at 14"
                                    Hem: 8”
                                    Inseam: 36.65”

                                    IH posted measurements:
                                    W: 35.7
                                    FR: 11.5
                                    BR: 16.4
                                    Thigh: 12.9
                                    Knee: 8.4
                                    Hem: 7.9
                                    Inseam: 37.3

                                        @hoppy_IPA it is pretty crazy stuff. The XHS is brutal for a while but softens nicely with effort.

                                        A snug fit is good, but from experience the XHS often feels snugger than it is because the denim is so unforgiving at first.

                                        Fit looks good from a distance. I’m interested in hearing how you’re getting on?

                                        Are you considering a soak? These will shrink a little.

                                          @hoppy_IPA my pair were quite stiff and unforgiving for longer than I expected. I'm clocking in around 100 wears and now they are much easier. I remember having a hard time even crossing my legs and worried they were too snug in the thighs for a while. Now they are very nice. Just need to put in work, wear them every day if you can.

                                            This is very true. My 3sixteen slim tapered 17oz were much easier to wear and have nearly the same measurements.
