Did you pre-soak yours?

[Giles]

No point or need…..It's already been done...

[Kathrynnaomi]

Perfect, thanks. I'll just get on with wearing them then!

[Giles]

Sound plan…..

@Tidal:

Here are my brand new 555n's.  Soaked and returned to IH for hemming (lightning fast turnaround).

After running out of 666's to buy I took a gamble on these.  Tried the sbg 555's previously and they were just too skinny, but the slightly larger cut of these is much better for me.

Went brave with the sizing, and think when the waist gives a bit they'll be perfect.  They are not perfect at the moment however [emoji37]

Wanted a lighter weight denim for the summer, and am surprised at how much lighter these feel at 17oz to my 666s at 18oz.

Has the waist stretched out much? How long did it take? Looking very good btw!

Thanks @Kathrynnaomi!  The waist has stretched out, but i couldn't tell you by how much.  They are not quite there, but are now close.  I would guess about 10 wears.  I think they would have stretched more, but i've had to tighten my belt a notch otherwise it was all loose, which i now realise was probably stopping them stretching more. Now belt free for several wears!

How are you getting on with yours?

Not too bad, I'm only two days in and hoping for a bit more stretch for them to be comfortable. The denim is lovely, a great shade of indigo. I've got the 555 in 21ozcand 18oz and it's amazing how different they all feel. It's a perfect fit for me!

I'm planning to get this one tomorrow. I bought a 666N yesterday and I'm finding it a bit bulky for my style, so I'm going to exchange that for the 555N. The 666N that I got was waist 32, so my question now is should I get size 31 for the 555N? Suggestions?

[Giles]

Either look at the sizing charts or try them on.  At the end of the day, only you can determine whether they fit like you want them.

Giles this might be a silly question but for a newbie like myself was curious to know why the rivets on the 555N not have the iron works engraving as compared to the 555-02.

[Giles]

Not silly.  But, I now feel silly, never noticed and no idea…...

Thanks to all who helped me git my first Iron Heart! I got my first pair of 555N today. I will post a picture soon! I really like the fit and the indigo dye looks awesome. I hope that it ages excellently!
