What do y'all think? Should I try to flip these, and size up? Shoothepier, any interest in my 36?

Absolutely not, they look great. I read somewhere (on the slim straight thread?) that there's a decent amount of stretch in this denim. I say keep them and rock them.
Btw, did the waist shrink much?
-
I think maybe a half inch. It was difficult to button presoak, but required calisthenics, just now

Fuckity-fuck…. it's so tempting. I welched on the pair I scored on release day as I was concerned they'd be too big and wasn't willing to take the risk. Can't stop thinking about them though and waist shrinkage would be great...

@sabergirl if they're not impossible to wear I'd keep them - they look great!
-
I agree…[emoji1375]

I agree, they look good. If you can wear them now then keep them. Just always cold soak/wash
-
They look great! Better than great, even!
Thank you for the offer SG. Some unexpected pet costs are going to delay my IH acquisitions for a time. Maybe there will still be a pair around when I'm ready. -
These are getting more livable by the minute. I think I'm in jeans-love…
That's great to hear! I'm pleased for you [emoji4]

Just got mine (holy cow - 2 day International shipping?! Freaking awesome, Iron Heart Team..)
Anyways - mind blown. Measurements are spot on. My 6th pair of IH, and probably going to be my favorite after my 634 ODs. I can't wait to get home and start wearing them. Although not super tight on me, I will attest that the top button was still a mutha to get closed the first time.
I got a 33 and it fits almost identical to my 633 21 oz in 32 if that helps anyone on the fence as I see there's still a 33 left!

I soaked my pair after wearing them for a few days. Did it in the tub, cold, for about 45 minutes. They definitely tightened up a little bit in the thigh and knee, and maybe lost about 1/2" in the inseam. I didn't notice much shrinkage in the waist or rise. They were incredibly stiff when they dried and developed a slightly more hairy texture than they had before. The seams embedded themselves noticeably into the fabric as well. Overall, I could hardly be more satisfied. They are without a doubt my favorite pair of jeans.

@Maizenblue Sounds good. Wear and enjoy :).

These took a dunk today. Got them a few days ago but have today off to give them some love. The fit was great pre soak. But I wanted to give them the shrink they needed. I did a hot soak to get the most out of it. Looking forward to spending many days in these. I'll post fit pics as soon as I can. It's currently snowing in PA though…

They feel great. I love the cut. Need to settle down a bit. But a week or so of wear will get them where they need to be. Absolutely love this denim too. I can tell there will be some decent vertical fading as well. It's a nice weave, breathable, and just the right amount of subtle slub. I can't wait to see everyone pictures a year from now.
