[deanclean]

Just got a pair of these delivered yesterday. Ive had this in a different cut but never in the 555. Love em.

Had to buy from Withered Fig. Took me a bit to find a place with my size.

Merry Christmas!
Need some advice, just opened my Christmas gift from myself and but I'm a bit worried these will be too tight after soaking. I actually thought they would be a bit bigger

[tody]

What is the area you are concerned about the most?
The general consensus is that they stretch back after soaking/washing to where they were before, at least in the waist.
So if they fit well now, you're golden.

[cricca]

@tody knees and thigh. The waist is good

[Jcaz6996]

@cricca I think they look spot on .
After a Hot soak and soon as they settle and mould to you once wearing there be perfect

[Indigo_beef]

@cricca these look pretty much perfect to me nailed the fit. I've got a new pair of these for Xmas also, objectively yours are a better fit than mine. These are 33 I probs should have gone 32 like you but I don't mind. I picked these up to replace an aging 634S 21oz so I'm used to a looser fit.

[cricca]

@Indigo_beef noo I would prefer if my pair looked like that before soaking. They look perfect

[Indigo_beef]

@cricca I'd happily swap with you but realise logistically might be difficult

[cricca]

@Indigo_beef yeah probably, I live in Sweden.
So if you're not located in Europe I think I'll just keep these

[Yamanunu]

@cricca se min post lite längre upp om du vill se förr/efter soak imo they look good and even if they shrink a bit after the first soak you should still be fine my pair streched bit by bit within the first 10 wears almost back to pre soak

[cricca]

Post soak

[Daniel San]

@cricca
perfect fit
will you cuff or get them hemmed?

[cricca]

@Daniel-San maybe a smal cuff or stacked

[Indigo_beef]

@cricca these look really good mate. Looks like minimal shrinkage? Did you go lukewarm water for the soak?

[cricca]

@Indigo_beef thank you! yes lukewarm... the water didn't even turn a little bit blue

[CosmoSix5]

Looks like the last restock was March of last year. Any chance these are coming in the next few months?

[Alex]

@CosmoSix5 shoul;d be in the spring

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of these. Last tag 29 in the building.

Goes without saying but the dudes were so damn helpful walking me through sizing etc. IH CS could give a Ted Talk on customer service.

On a separate note, I’ve never had a pair of 25 oz denim before but I do have a Ship John Wills jacket and it’s gnarly af. Total beast to wear. Just realized they’re only 24 oz. What have I gotten myself into with these jeans

Good thing I’m a masochist haha

[chillmonroe]

Got them today. Ten minutes and a bloody thumb later, I’ve got em on. They’re tight in the waist so I’ll follow @neph93’s advice and wear them for a week or so before a soak and wash. They are no joke but they aren’t as heavy as the Wills jacket (thank god) I guess because of the wax they put on it or something. I love these. Lookin’ forward to breaking them in for sure
