@neph93:

@Oaktavia what do you think? You have your own defined, personal look, do they work with that?

Yeah man I'm diggin it. Especially yearning for the look after they break in and fade.

@sabergirl:

They look a little baggy for this cut, but comfy! With summertime coming, probably will be nice to have room to maneuver. The waist will stretch over an inch in the 21 oz. denim, but mostly shrink back when you wash.

Yeah they are a bit loose for my small frame but not too baggy, right? I could maybe squeeze into a size smaller but I don't like squeezing…especially after how tight my 555XHSib were oy vey.

Also will the waist stay moderately the same if there is no tension by usage of a belt? Or am I wrong here? If they stretch out regardless I might need a smaller size… @neph93 ?

Excellent. As long as you’re happy then you’re good.

[sabergirl]

If not under tension (belted) they will stretch less, but 21oz stretches, for sure.

They almost feel like stretch denim. I'm used to the XHS which is quite the opposite…

[sabergirl]

For sure! The flagship 21oz is magical stuff. I’ve  been alternating my 888s-RE which is 14oz, and the ignition stretch denim. I’m afraid that when I slip into some 25 oz again I will be overwhelmed. Enjoy being comfy!

I'm stoked about the 25oz black…hope I can find my size around Christmas time.

@Oaktavia The 21oz denim stretches a lot, so much in that it's hard to imagine you'll ever fit into your 'correct' size when you first try them on. As I say to all of our customers, trust the measurements and you won't go wrong

Mine feel nearly perfect out of the package I hope that's not a bad thing.

Depends what you want @Oaktavia  That loose relaxed fit will get looser, for sure. But like I said, if you dig it then keep on trucking [emoji1417]

Okay I think I understand it now. I'll be wearing them daily from here on. Now that I'm not in the classroom it provides me with the unique opportunity to actually wear jeans everyday without rotating.

Weeeeeeee

I'll post updates here and there.

@Oaktavia After seeing your XHS posts, can't wait for you to put us all to shame 

Edit: I am going to get a pair to and challenge you to a fade off

@Oaktavia i think your 555-01's look great. i bought my usual tag size (31) and they were comfy (not to tight, not to loose) out of the bag. I think there's just something very special about this flag ship 21oz denim.. I feel like you could were it super tight and let it loosen over time or you could wear it loose and easy. I think you're right in that sweet spot.

Here's a couple fit pics from shortly after i bought mine from Berkeley Supply Co. in Denver (Great dudes BTW)
