Avoid agitation and heat.
Yes, cold handwashes will minimize the shrinkage for the first wash for sure.
Thanks gents. I have two pairs of the PIH10ANT and the smaller pair are perfect but will shrink a little with a wash and I’m concerned that stretching them out to where they are now will be a struggle. I’ll try to keep them clean with regular cold washes I think.

Too narrow a chest I would have thought, although it amounts to the same thing.
I used to think that, but I have shirts with varying p2ps, 42.4 - 45.0, and some 45s give a lot of pit rub if the shoulders are narrower. They can also rub when worn open, and wide open, so the chest isn't pulling.
I'm guessing the narrow shoulder brings the arm hole closer to the body and causes the hole to sit too high on my shoulder. My shoulder being thicker than my arms, then rubs in the narrow arm hole… idk....

While “too narrow” chest and shoulders is a problem, it might also be the armholes. In my opinion, sometimes the seam is too high up the chest. My Ihsh-100 in Large has such a small arm opening that the seam still scrapes my underarms unnecessarily. It’s not bad, but it is noticeable in contrast to my other IH shirts. I usually size up to get more room but the 100 was still too narrow for me in that regard. That’s why I love raglan sleeves. No shoulder seam, and the arm openings generally have more room

I’ve never seen any denim stretch out,post washing and heat drying, faster/easier than the Pronto/IH 22 OZ. I’m talking about within an hour of putting them back on after washing. If that’s what you’re worried about. Fret not!
I’ll carry this on in the appropriate thread when I get a minute.

I’ve just bought a second pair of the new 666 black/ black jeans. Both have a small bit of leg twist. I know I’ve had at least one other pair of black jeans, either 555-03 or 9666z which I’ve sold that have had a small bit of leg twist.
Is there something different in the process to indigo that lends itself to leg twist?
In case it’s not obvious I’m not mad on leg twist.. -
All twill weaves will try to twist, whatever the colour because of the uneven tensions created in the weaving process. Canvas and Chambray, being prime weaves, do not twist at all.
We try to take out the twist post weave, but it is not an exact science.

Anyone know where I can get a hat similar to this RRL one in style, but perhaps in a nicer plaid or herringbone or plain or whatever pattern?

Yes indeed. What are you wondering about?
On the 555, the rise is higher than the 666 and the waist size is bigger in relation to tag size. The thigh is about as tight at the top as the 666, but tapers sharply into a tight knee. The knee then goes down to a much narrower hem. I like the cut a lot, but struggle with the thigh/waist ratio.

i'm sorta trying to look for another cut.
i fit into a 666 perfectly. loved every moment of the fit and how it looked when i wore the UHRs for the DWC. now the 634 and 888 are too big of a cut for me. tried on the 777 when i was in bangkok and i didn't really like the rise and it may be a little too skinny for my liking, which leaves me the 555 as the other option.
also, i feel that i'm in between sizes right now. i'm slowly gaining a little more around the waist and so i'm not quite confident in picking sizes.

The 666 and 555 are the best fitting cuts for me. However, I have to be more selective about which models of the 555 I get because of the differences in the waist that @neph93 mentioned.

In many ways the 777 is slightly roomier than the 555, in the thigh and the knee at least. The major difference is that they taper more evenly down the entire length of the leg. So the thigh is about the same, the knee wider, but the leg below the knee much more tapered.
However the 777 top block is much trimmer than the 555. This may be a good thing for you if you are widening around the middle.

@louisbosco Something you might consider is the Pronto/Iron Heart PIH10ANT It’s probably more like a 666 cut than a 555,and the 22OZ denim is really wonderful.
