@alvory Being that these are: Sanforized and one-washed - little to no shrinkage to be expected, you should be fine.

To minimize the risk completely, wash in cold water.

@alvory perfect fit man. What boots are those? I have a pair of Chisos ropers I wear sometimes.

@alvory looking sharp dude!! Another important thing to remember is to make sure your flip them inside out and then soak them in the bathtub for about 30 minutes. You want to make sure they are fully soaked through before washing cold. These are highly prone to marbling and soaking them really helps to mitigate that. Also, use no spin or lowest spin possible on the washer setting. The spin can really set creases in wonky places that will leave faded crease lines that can be a bummer.

But, if you do end up with some marbling or crease fades…time will heal all wounds and they will fade into perfection down the line.

@Mizmazzle Nice! Love a good roper. These are Ariat Heritage R-toes. Definitely my most comfortable pair of boots.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I’ll revisit and post updates as they age.

Sharp contrasts on those. I'm also at the 6 month mark on mine, but nowhere near to where you are!

Normally i am not that bad in choosing the right size, but now i need help

I am between Sizes in these boy! I don't now if i should take a 38 or 40. To me: I am 1.84m, 102kg with a Beer Belly (a little but also a Muscular (Type Rugby Player)

I own a 555-SBG in Tag 38 which is quite too tight and fits like a skinny Jeans. My 634 is also Size 38 and quite tight at the Waist but good at Tights etc. I need a Waist about 51-52cm streched and the 38 has only 47-48cm unstreched. But i am afrait that the 40 will be too roomy at the hips.

Perhaps here is someone with quite similar Body Type?

What does that that sound for you?

PLEASE HELP

@Bene_adolfweb-de have you looked at the compare tool:

I've added the 634, 666 and 888 for comparison

Thanks! I have done that still, but hoped for some experiences in 888 and a Look on my Dates. My Problem is, that i often bought quite too tight

I have had both 555 and 888. I can wear a 555 in 40 comfortably, but can barely squeeze my thighs into a 38. 38 (or even 36 with a big thigh) is my size in the 888.

I think you would fit into the 38 and probably get a couple cm of stretch in the waist. That said, I think you should just get the 40 and not look back. I’m all for comfort these days.
