Check the thigh measurement. If you need any more than about 0.5" there (and that will be a struggle), don't size down 2.

Sabergirl knows. Thigh is the critical measurement. You'll get what you need in the waist.

the thighs is exactly why I'm retiring my old denim. they were 10in in the thigh and were slightly uncomfortable. I believe the 01s are 10.6…unless that varies also. I would like to have a skinny fit so I don't want them to be too big. will the extra .6 make a difference in comfort? my old pair was wearable wore them everyday just wish I had a bit more room. how much do thighs in 01s usually stretch?

whoops I'm a waist size 31 if that makes a difference just remeasured. another fellow in the thread is the same size as me in apcs and purchased a 29 in the 01 the fit looked really good. all the other measurements are perfect too. I think the 29 would be fine. if it stretches up to 2 inches.

hmmm received a strange message from iron heart today saying that the size 29 i purchased is not a 29.5 in the waist but a 30 now….has anyone dealt with something similar from them? why would the measurements be incorrect? that's very strange. i don't understand why the sizes would vary? unless they have been worn by someone else stretched out and returned? or lack of QC? this is very concerning as i have never dropped $300 on jeans and returns to the uk is ridiculous. My waist is a 32 and i heard these stretch a bit so hopefully ill be fine.

Some love for my 555's. I've had them a little over a year, worn them for about half that. Washed them two or three times. Love the stealth arcs.

@David_pll:

Do either of you have an instagram or somewhere where i can see more pics of your jeans

I went through this entire thread already

Should I cop these or 01's if i want sik fadezz?
01 doesn't say that they are raw indigo so im assuming they fade slow or fades are weak.
only thing stopping me from buying 666s is the back pockets (i prefer the stealth arc) and with the 555-01 everything checks out they were my first choice but i haven't seen one interesting fade pic with that model.

I like the electric blue undertone of the 02 that ive seen in some pics, only cons i heard is they are not comfy plus im worried about the whole unsanforized,soaking and sizing bit.

How does the break in process and comfort compared to APC ps? (if anyone here owns both pairs)

I really want to go with 01 but I want something that won't take forever to fade

should i go with the 02?

thanks for all the responses guys I'll keep it in mind. I'm still looking into other brands but IH Is now a top choice for me

Hey guys, Im trying to decide between the IH-555-01 and 1H-555-02.
(input from anyone that owns both would be awesome)
What ive gathered from browsing is the 18oz (02) is harder to break in, stretches less,keeps you warmer
and that the 01 surprisingly breathes better from how the fabric is woven and stretches more. correct me if i'm wrong. So far im leaning towards the 01.

My last pair of denim was 14oz im concerned that the transition from 14 to 21oz will be too much.
I live in upstate NY so it can get cold, will these keep me as warm as the 18oz? Will they be bearable in NY summers?

Also haven't seen any cool fade pics from theses anywhere

Saw a few impressive fades with the 18oz and lots from the 666s…..
