@Alex Thanks!

Am I right in thinking these belts run fairly big in sizing? All my IH jeans are 31 waist, and if I'm measuring correctly, that's an XS size for this belt?

@Ally74 just wear them! With a lot of wear the marble effect will blend into your fades

I will. Though these will inevitably now drop to the bottom of my rotation list. Anyways, I've a brand new pair of 555 XHS to concentrate on ...

did you soak before putting in the machine?
turn inside out ?

Washed inside out, but didn't soak them first. Screwed up there obviously

Threw mine in the machine for the first time at 30 degrees, no spin. Had 2 previous hand washes in the tub previous to this. Disappointed in the outcome if I’m honest, none of that marbling was there before the wash. Hoping that it evens out as they age further.

Got notification of the restock just as I was finishing work … sold out (in M) by the time I got home 

we have the same boat.

I've taken a gamble and bought the last one in a Small. 50/50 chance I'll have to return it though

Recommendations for repair shops in Scotland? Crotch has gone in my 555n's and about to go on my 555-03's.

Thanks Alex, sending to IH was originally my plan, then I thought that if there was a reliable place nearby and not too expensive, I might be quicker doing a drop off - pick up thing.

@EJS Those Forrest Hills are gorgeous, but I'd fear they'd get indigo stained within minutes!

Probably not my favourite, but bloody lovely all the same!

@Max:

@Ally74 they don't really bleed a lot, but if you're really picky about this I'd still ab+void light shoes before the first wash or saok.

Thanks! I might put them to the test with an old pair of Converse for a day, just to see.

What's the bleed like on these? I've just received my 555-03s and I will be rotating them with my 555Ns. It would be nice to be able to wear some of my white trainers again, that have been sadly relegated to the back of the cupboard due to the indigo from the 555Ns potentially ruining them.

Sorry if this has been covered before, I did skim through most of the 59 pages but didn't see anything.

Hi folks, new poster here from Dundee, Scotland. Though I consider Edinburgh my home as I only moved here a year ago.
