RESTOCK

Trying to figure out what size to pull the trigger on, but know I want the 777 based on the taper/silhouette. Here are the measurements on my 21oz 555-03 (now 555-SBG):

Waist: 38
Front rise: 11.5
Rear rise: 16.5
Thigh: 12.75
Knee: 8.75
Hem: 8
Inseam: 32.5

The waist is too big. I can fit both fists side-by-side in the back, so I’m ok with a smaller waist measurement on these.

The thighs and knees are perfect, hem is maybe a touch small for certain boots I own.

The most annoying thing about these is that I’m limited in how high I can lift a leg, so for example running up stairs 2 at a time or getting in a vehicle is a place to be careful.

It seems like 36 in these would be the right call.

@soobrex1 Please email the guys at the IHUK shop: shop@ironheart.co.uk as they will steer you in the right direction and answer all of your questions.

@goosehd I plan to do that, but it’s Sunday so I figured I’d post here first, especially reading this thread and seeing someone else with a similar fit experience with the 555 (which I love, but I just want a little more movement in these).

@soobrex1
Obviously the best way is to get some measurements from other jeans you own (that don't have stretch fabric) then look at the chart.
But I am going to purchase the 777 UHR next most likely. I also have the 555 SBG in 36 so went and tried on a size 36 777 in store (14oz) and the overall fit was as expected, tight waist, more snug in the sides top block (hips) and more room in the lower leg. The thigh area was still snug. The rise felt a little lower than expected, but I am sure would get used to.

Like you, my 555 have stretched to 38 at the waist, and are a little loose now. I will be going with a 36 in the 777 which should be close to 37", then shrink to 36 and stretch back out close to 37. Thighs on the UHR will probably shrink 0.3-0.5 depending on if using a dryer.
In my case I don't think sizing down to a 35 is a good idea. It seems better to have them a bit on the looser side than always too snug, especially if you already have issues lifting your knee.

@99Tjadams Yeah, the measurements I posted are of my specific pair of 21oz 555 SBG. I have some others I can take measurements of, but they’re mostly 14oz (though no stretch). My 17oz SExIH 633N have been repaired by Rain after a serious blowout and I haven’t quite rebroken them in yet, but maybe that will work to get me a better idea of what enough space is in the top block.

I may end up needing to do something other than 777 and then sizing down, but my actual waist is almost spot on 37 so I think I should roll the dice here and if anything, ask the IHUK team to look for a pair with larger thigh/knee measurements.

The button holes on these post soak took forever to open up enough to properly fasten!
