@ShopatIronHeart Will these restock anytime this year or are we probably looking at next year? After scrolling back I saw you already had a restock around Febuary...

I'll definitely pick up a pair of these as I love the fabric on my 555s-21

@Jord These are restocking at some point in the near future but we don't have a specific date set for them yet I'm afraid. Please make sure that you are signed up to the email notification system if you are not already. Any news will be posted here first as well.

My 32 was always tight, but after washing it's painfully tight in the waist. It was almost impossible to button it. I also don't think I'll gain much stretch, unless I lose weight.

I found a 34 in stock. I wonder if that would work without being too baggy?

[AdamJ]

@SashaDBZ have you tried doing the bottom button up first, sitting down, then doing up the buttons one by one? That's what I've had to do in the past post wash in some cases. Failing that, sizing up would also be a valid option

I’ve worn these jeans for about 120 consecutive days. They started out a bit too tight, but I decided to push through it. They’re still snug around the waist, but comfortable overall. On days after a bit too much beer and snacks, I do wish they were one size bigger — but at least that encourages a healthy lifestyle

Compared to my 888 25oz, which is pretty baggy, these almost look tight in comparison. I don’t have side-by-side photos, but what do you guys think about the fit at this stage, on this pair?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Josso that’s about how mine fit. Sometimes I wish they had a little more room, but I think they look good like this. If the waist gets a little snug, I like to soak the top few inches upside-down in the sink, towel dry, then wear them the rest of the day damp. May be ridiculous to some, but it get just enough room for me till the next wash.

[Josso]

@WhiskeySandwich Thanks, man — good to hear! Yeah, sounds like we’re in the same boat. I actually like the fitted look too, but that soak trick sounds clever — never tried that before. I might give it a go next time they start feeling too snug after a few beers
Only thing I’m a bit worried about is the first wash — hoping they don’t shrink too much and end up too small.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Josso the wash always makes em snug then they loosen up quick, it’s the waist on the 888 that needs the extra loosening for me but a little discomfort for a day while they stretch damp does the trick

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia thank you sir! They’re quite nice, if I say so myself. Super comfy.
