@zatenm You are 6 foot tall and about 80kg and able to wear a size 30???
Yessir
I have a narrow waist and usually wear size 31 with some room to spare.. -

@DirtyMike619 I’d go up a size in the OD. I tried to go with the same tag size in 555S and 555SOD and ended up selling the OD’s on. They were wearable but weren’t comfortable at all.
-
I use my 21’s as my in office jeans, which means once a month. Super comfortable for the long commute. Maybe 25 wears, need to get into a more regular rotation.

And after another (countless) wash.

@ManiacLachy Thank You!!! Almost 3 years of rather heavy use, and many unorthodox washes, they are proof that there is no point of worrying to much about properly constructed jeans. They had their first expert repair by @JoshC not that long ago and are as good as new.

Just a question as I’m unsure.
I have these jeans in the OD version and absolutely adore the fit of them. Perfect in every way.
Are the OD versions pulled from the regular version of the same run then over-dyed or are the pulled from completely different stock. Just wondering if I could expect giving these a really hot soak to bring them down to the measurements of the OD version
-
@Snafu. I will venture to say from the same run special if the release date is close to each other.
A hot soak of the 21oz will not yield any shrinkage worth talking about. The OD process is way more involved than just a hot soak. Just look at measurements and pick up a pair that measures very close to your OD. Sometimes that entails going a size down some times not. You have a good point of reference in your hands to make a good decision -
@yannis Copy that. Thank you.
Looks like most non-OD 777’s are the closest measurements through the thigh, knee and leg opening to my 888 OD
-
@Snafu . 777 and 888 are very different cuts. The top block is miles different. 777 is a low rise cut. If I was you I would contact the IH team and see if they can find you an 888 with measurements very similar to your 888od. Now if you want to venture in a different cut that's a different story. But you said that your 888's od are perfect in every way.
