@sabergirl:

Omg. Wash those jeans inside out right away IN A MACHINE in cold water! Make sure they get soaked through before the cycle starts.

If you have pretreatment for stains or a tide pen, go to town on them first. I’m afraid leaving them sitting that long may have set a stain.

Thank you for the tip! We have a new washing machine that "auto doses" from 2 tanks containing detergent and fabric softener. I need to learn this new machine to turn off the fabric softener before I run it tonight.

If they're permanently stained I guess my 555's will at least have their own fade horror story from now on.

@rovdjurstorget I've been there too with my kids! When all else fails, direct sunlight can work miracles at fading this kind of stain.

Great tip! I've heard direct sunlight does wonders against yellow armpits in white t-shirts as well.

Evening all,

If I buy the 31 with a 11.6 thigh but need 12” thigh, will it stretch enough?

[sabergirl]

Probably. But it will be tight for a while, and may lead to blowouts later. Personally I would just get the next size up and wear a belt.

You can also always ask the gang to choose you the pair with the biggest thigh. There might even be one closer to 12 already.

Best advice get in touch with Iron crew

They will advise the best for fit and measurement

Could get a pair that bigger what you.
Need

These do stretch out in Waist and
Thigh

Best to wear snug not tight

Folks, thanks for the feedback.  I prefer a snug waist, really dislike slack which gets scrunched by a belt.  I’ll message IH when I put in my order.

I had looked at the 25oz which has a 12.0 thigh and 32.5 waist, but I’m wary the post soak shrink and stretch won’t get me back to 12.0 on the thigh.

Hi family, good afternoon/morning.

I have a question for you all. I’m about to order this amazing Snake and due to a healthy lost of weight I’m now between the tag 34 and the 35.

I saw that in the stock I have only 2 35 left to play and plenty of 34 (tags).

Also I’ve recently purchased the 555s142bb in a 35 and feels the best but it’s a little room in the waist area.

Did you guys recommend going for the biggest waist tag34 or take one of the two tag35 left?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I have both models in same size 31 , and I am really happy, if this helps. Both models and I also have the indigo 555 in 14 oz fits is same.
So I will suggest go same size if you have already a 555 in 14oz or 21oz.
In all my 555 I have a little bit room in waist area space for a finger and best decision, in waist did not stretch. still rest of the areas looks slim fit. (Little small pinch in thoughts) my most worrying area was around knee and It did stretch after a few hours in first wear.

@spaniarddh I would try to figure out what your ideal measurements would be on a number of key specs (for me waist is essential but with the 555 knee could be too), then email the crew and ask them to find you the perfect pair. The thing is, there can be variation between posted tag sizes and actual pairs of jeans, so that's why I wouldn't take a gamble on either a tag 34 of 35.

@Lowlander all other measurements are better on the 34 of the 21s because are the same in the 35 14s. The only point off is the waist measurement.

Just found this pair in the back of my closet. I must have given up, but I feel ready to take on the task.
How long does it take for the denim to soften up, I think 21oz could be too much for me. I have done 18oz several times, but the difference feels enormous.
I got a pair of 555-142 that I washed the other day for the first time after three years of rotation. They turned out really nice. The thought of bringing these that far is making me exhausted. But judging from the looks in this thread it also looks worthwhile

Surprised you think this is so gnarly, I think of it as pretty soft….
