      So I just ordered these as my first pair of ironheart jeans. The dimensions for them are perfect as is for the 38. I measured my fav pair of jeans and they are 36” that tape out to 37” which means the ones I ordered will be spot on.
      So my question is this: it says that they will stretch out up to 1” which would be too big so to offset tht has anyone tried washing and drying hot to shrink them back and hve good results? Do they actual stretch out that much? Or should I order the 36 which tapes out at 35.2 and with the stretch would be good. I would just be vary of shrinking them.
      Please help

        They don’t shrink. You could wash them at 90C and all you would do is destroy the torque in the elastic in which case they would stretch an awful lot very quickly.

        If you can do the thighs on the W36 I’d go for that or take a look at the 555 dims. The SST denim will stretch an inch at least.

          I messaged about the 555 sst and asked if it would be restocked and they said no - even tho it says continuous production

            Things change… I wonder if the restocks are extra stock from Japan made during the first run. The decision may have been taken not to make a second run.

            The 666 in this denim would be my preferred choice. The thigh is just too toight for me though.

              I like the slim tapered not really a fan of straight

                Do the pants actually stretch up to an inch? In your experience

                  Do a search for «Shinayaka» on the forum and you’ll find my blog thread. I got to thrash tje sample pair of 555’s. You can read about exactly what happened there.

                  Short answer is yes they really do, but not like regular 21oz.

                    I'd say so. I didn't take measurements but I gotta pull my pants up if I don't wear my belt tight enough and when I got them I had to suck in to button the top initially.

                              Those are some truly unique fades, Denimminer! Mind me asking what size you're wearing? How do you find the fit?

                                    Yeah I definitely hope after a wash the boot fade isn't so obvious. Wearing a tag 32 that are actually soaked in really hot water when I first got them as they were just a tad too big compared to my tag 31 black 21oz 777.  They have stretched a little bit in the waist more than I'd prefer but I bet they will shrink up just right after the first wash.

                                      I was definitely skeptical at first but yes, you'd never know they had "stretch"

                                        Welp picked up a pair of these just for the heck of it and I’m in! Super CONFY! Love the cut of these too. I finally figured out I just had to gain a few pounds to get out from between sizes 😉
                                        These are taken after a full day of wear while at work…

                                            Idk, I finally picked up a pair of indigo 21oz 555, and I really like them too. I sized up in these 777s and they both basically fit almost the same.
                                            I’ll just say that If I’m not a 777 guy or 555, I’m 💯 an iron heart guy 😎 I Just love their cuts!
