      I'd go same actual waist size, the rise won't make a lot of difference.  If you buy tag 32 in the 555 I think they end up at about the same size as the 666.

      Caveat - This is not an exact science…... 😃 😃

        Yeah, i remember you suggesting there is a little more stretch here than the 21oz.

            That's a tautology.

              Huge thanks to Haraki-san and Giles. Looks like I should pop-by Rivet & Hide to swap my 31s for 32s!

              This bit of info in particular was super helpful:
              Secondly, generally, the measurements are as is, now. So soaking before wearing will lose you .5. You're new starting point will be 30.5. With wear they'll stretch an inch to 31.5. That being said, I asked G about the stretch with this denim and he got 1.5 on a size 33 (I think, check the thread). So you may well get more than an inch if you need it.

                Hi

                I have recently purchased some IH-555n. I know these are sanforised but will shrink up to 1 inch in the leg and 1/2 inch in the waist on my first wash. I understand they will then stretch up to an inch in the waist. My  questions are should I wash them before wearing or wait until they have stretched before washing? Also am I likely to loose a lot of indigo in the wash which will effect the contrast in fading with wear? Hence should I wait to wash and wash as little as often.

                Thanks
                Baz

                  Soaking a new (sanforized) denim helps to bed the constructional stitching, so i think a (minimum a cold or better a warm) soak should be done before wearing 🙂

                    A cold soak, even on sanforised denim is never a bad idea. Soak first then wear. The problem with wearing them a lot and then washing is that your honeycombs and stacks will be an inch too high after wear because of shrinkage. My advice would be a warm soak to take out all the shrinkage, then wear the fuck out og them. They'll stretch out to fit you. A warm soak without agitation shouldn't affect the indigo or future wear patterns much. Just wear them like you hate them and they'll look boss.

                        @Giles is this denim the same as the TW634N ? I have both and denim looks different, this one is stiffer and warps are more grey than tw . I really like both of them but just for now …

                          Same denim, different batch.  Have you washed the TW's much?

                            Never wash tw and They really are different , 555n are hairy,stiff and look darker but maybe because of the more grey warp .Have you compared them ?

                                Damn, I was helping a friend order either the 777 (sz 34) or these (34) and both are out of stock. Any 34's around in either @Giles ? He's already rocking 3sixteens and I'm trying to get him hooked on the IH bug.

                                    @jules Well spotted the weft in the new denim is a natural colour whereas in the TW version looks like it is bleached.  That gives the denim an overall darker loo to the face.  I'm not sure I can detect a different texture on the pairs I have here.

                                      @jules It is a new denim.  Same weight, but utilising beige weft.  It is sanforised and anti-skewed.
