    They feel comfortable. I think if I size down, everything will still be still good, except from the hips, they will be too tight. Other option is trying 888, size 33... Also I don't know how they will fit after soaking/washing them. My other 25oz pair is a Samurai S710. I sized up because it was unsanforized and unwashed. Perfect fit after washing them but everything -except length- stretched back and now they are a bit loose.

      @boutsk I think those look great! You have a nice slim silhouette but still looks like you have room for movement and comfort.

      Thighs, waist, and length will come in with a wash. Waist will stretch back out...thighs and length will not.

      It looks like you could come in on the thighs some, but that may lose you a bit of the easy comfort you have now. 888 is the perfect solution for thigh comfort but still a slim taper. 888 is my favorite cut. So easy to wear and look great!

      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

        Just thought I would share my excitement for a new pair.

        I got the 555-SBG a month ago and love them so much I decided to try the 25oz

        I am a bit shocked how much stiffer these are than the 21oz

        I plan to wear these at work as much as possible, was tempted by the lower rise 777, due to having a bit of a beer belly that sometimes pushes high rise jeans down to my hips, but the stiffness in these is fighting back. The rear feels low when crouching so I am glad I didn’t go 777.
        I don’t cuff so hemmed to 30” (my inseam is 28/29) only regret is not having hemmed to 31, I didn’t realize the creasing behind the knees would also take up a half inch of length. (My opinion, not fact)

        Tried on for an evening to stretch the wait out a bit, then soaked in the tub hot water, minimal agitation, crossed fingers that the thigh didn’t shrink too much, then air dry overnight, wore slightly damp following evening, went for a hike, now fully dry today and absolutely stoked.

        Size 36 5'9" 200lbs

        Measured from IH / online chart/ after hot soak
        Waist - 37.0 / 37.5 / 38
        Thigh - 13.6” /13.6/13.6(12.5 from crotch)
        Front Rise -12.0" /11.7 / 11.4
        Rear Rise - 16.6" /16.2 / 16”
        Knee - 9.1" / 9.0 / 8.9
        Hem - 8.5" / 8.6 / 8.5

            @sabergirl took your advice and just kept this one. Hot soaked for 45 minutes. Definitely shrunk and was worried it shrunk too much as my thighs barely fit, but they have stretched out nicely. Waist shrunk giving me a slightly tighter fit. Just got a pigeon tree belt, so I’ll rock it with that.

            Thanks for the advice y’all

                  Have you tried the 888?

                  Coming from N&F easyguy I assumed the 888 was my cut. After pouring over charts for weeks, and realizing my MIJ13 easyguy has too baggy of knees, I went with 555.
                  I have a pair of sz40 888s that are huge one me.(bought 2nd hand cheap)
                  The ideal hem for me is 8-8.5”
                  Close or over 9” hem and they feel baggy on me, as I don’t cuff high, they cover too much boot.

                  I have been losing weight, so already pouring over what will be next if my waist drops, I think the 888 is ideal for smaller waist sizes to maintain that 13-14” thigh and 8-8.5” hem.

                  Will probably spoil myself with a 25oz OD or a 21/23 RAW in a 888 if I stick to my diet and have to size down again. (Already on the restock notification list)

                    @99Tjadams I feel ya, I wish the thighs were slightly bigger on these 555 and smaller waist. Other than that, I love the slim taper down as my calf genetics are poverty 😆

                      Agreed, as I feel like if I lose waist size it will be a big jump to get the same proportions in a 888.
                      Jump down to an 35” 888XHS
                      Also don’t want the diaper butt I was getting with the N&F cut.
                      The measurements do seem to differ between fabrics though, so I’m planning ahead and taking notes on what to jump on in future releases before they sell out.

                      Fun and addictive hobby.

                            The older I get the more inclined I’m becoming to oversized fits in the heavyweight denim especially. Comfort is king!

                                Thanks. I like everything except from the rear excess fabric. Of course it is still stiff but I can see that there's more fabric there compared with my other well fitted jeans.
                                I'm gonna wear them during fall/winter so I will gain 2-3 kg, but I wonder if a very hot soak followed by a machine wash (gentle cycle) will fix this.

                                  I personally have bought iron heart jeans that were a little in the tight side to begin with and some that were slightly roomier to begin with and have found while the roomier ones were of course more comfortable off the bat, after a bit of wear the tighter pair always look and fit better and the roomier ones just end up too baggy for me……but of course it’s all personal taste, but that’s just my two cents!

                                    I'd like to do the same. I had a bad experience with my first selvedge pair (a Momotaro that never stretched due the tight wave). So next time I'd ordered a more comfortable pair of Samurai that ended up baggy. Already listed them for sale, I may look for a tighter fit.

                                      @boutsk how do you feel the thigh is? If you think you can afford for that to tighten up and stay that way, then give the wash thing a go.

                                      I always start with a cold wash first. See how that works out. If I’m looking for more then I go to a warm wash….then finally if I need extreme results go with a hot wash.

                                      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                        Thighs will be ok even if tightened up. Maybe back rise will be ok with a hot soak, but I don't know if this will be permanent. My 25 oz Samurai (unsanforized and unwashed) were perfect after a warm soak and a cold machine wash but after 1-2 months waist, back and front rise and thighs returned to pre-soak measurements

                                          Can’t thank @seawolf enough for making this custom piece for me. My tool pouch has been doing some right damage to my XHS . After a Top repair job done by Josh I wanted something to protect that area of constant rubbing while wearing my tool vest in work . Gave Zach some rough measurements and he kindly made this for me it’s spot on mate thank you .
