    @Dmart yeah I think thats why I am leaning more towards 888 right now. I am wearing 555sbg right now and I love them, but If they are heavier than how these feel, I might need to rely on some of that looser fit in the 888

      @EdH:

      I think maybe I'll get hold of some white thread and do a little sashiko along the seam just to reinforce it.

      This 👌🏾

      I typically put my Singer on zig zag mode and do some reinforcing stitches right along the frayed seam.
      Have thought about going for the Sashiko equivalent, only a matter of time until I actually do it.

      My 888s are actually ready for it too, give me a sec….

      Use it or lose it.

        Yup, my trusty Singer Heavy Duty really managed to sew over a 21OZ crotch. Can't believe it!!

            Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
            Well, I have others.

                I have the 555 UHR since wednesday, soaked and washed the beast in the evening and let it dry.. well it took a long time do dry, first time puttin those on was a struggle  😃 after a few hours they fit like a glove and i’m totally happy with how they fit, they tend to run a little bigger then a ‘normal’ 555 little more room in the tigh and a higher rise if i compare it with my 555-SLB. So i must say that I’m totally happy with the 555. Soaked for 1 hour in the hottest water i could tap and washed it without spin on 30 degrees celcius. Lost 2 inch on the length, waist wise not that much to be honest.

                  The UHR is objectively a little heavier after soak, but the SBG is pretty gnarly stuff in itself so you’ll tackle these. As stated UHR iterations tend to come up a little bigger than other iterations due to the nature of the denim. It requires more leeway when being sewn up due to being loomstate, and some extra room is included to account for shrinkage.

                            Do you happen to know if Self Edge SF is going to get any in? I'd like to try the sizing out in person.

                                    I've been wanting to nab a pair of these for a minute. All my 777's measure 36 in the waist. I'm wondering if a size 35 with the measure 34.4 waist would work and stretch enough for me. I have a thin midsection and given the rise on the 888's I'm thinking they will. Hoping for a second opinion to convince me.  😃

                                      I tried these on at Self Edge SF, figuring I might be 33 or 34 based on the measurements. The 33 could button but was pretty tight and not super pleasant, while the 34 was pretty comfortable right then and there. I'm inclined to go with the 34 but I've heard that this fabric has a ton of stretch–-will they necessarily stretch out a ton? Do I absolutely need to go with the smaller waist and suffer for a while to avoid them becoming so stretched that they don't stay up without a belt?

                                        Go for 33. I wish I had.

                                          @schraiber The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear…
