I'm waiting for this pair to bed in a bit (only worn them for 5 days!) They fitted comfortably right out the bag but this makes me think they may end up looser than I normally wear. Matt from IH warned me about this but I was too impatient to wait as I really needed some new jeans! In other people's experience how long does this denim take to sort of calm down and find its shape?

Curious - how does the 555 fit differ from the 301s in larger sizes?
I have both in 36. The 555's have a higher rise and a more fitted top block. The taper is also more pronounced than on the 301. Overall, I'd say the 555 is a better fit for bigger guys, IF you can make the thigh work.

No probs. I too like the heavy duty compound lifts. Be careful if you're comparing 301 measurements from SE with 555 measurements from IHUK. They measure differently. 301's are defo more roomy in the top block. A bit too roomy imho and I have a fat ass.

CheersIt's the 21oz. My first pair if IH were 21oz 301's. They were bought in SENY on holiday. I walked around Manhattan for two days in them and the minute I got home to Norway I ordered 555's in the next size down. The waist on the 301's stretched 2.5 inches in the end. They are now my gardening/post xmas dinner pants. Great fades though.
Long story short, 21oz needs to be snug out of the bag.

Are you a true 36 or did you need some stretch from it? I need a size 38 and want a small bit of stretch up top, but don't want it to look sloppy. No diaper butt.

If you want to avoid diaper butt go for the 555. Seriously, I've heard/read more stories of diaper butt from owners of 301's than any other jean. To answer your question I always buy 21oz small. It stretches.

you've been super helpful - Thanks!!!

Ha ha sets off on a pub crawl -
Worn these beautiful jeans for a month now and they fitted me right out the bag so I was a bit worried they might get too big. However I've worn a belt from day one and the denim has moulded to be a really great fit. There is a lot to be said for not squeezing in to jeans that are uncomfortably small and letting them settle naturally and without undue force!!

is 1" stretch the most i can expect from this denim, does it easily stretch out much?

You can get some more if you're willing to tolerate some initial discomfort. Be careful with the thigh though. That will not stretch more than .5"
