Have I made a grave mistake not sizing down?
Not a grave mistake, but as a general bit of advice after the fact, always go with the actual waist measurements rather than tag size. If you look at most 555’s the waist measures bigger than measured and bigger than most other cuts. For example the W32 measurements on the 555-01 will be bigger than w32 measurements on the IH-888s.
To the business at hand. Hard to say anything about the waist fit from that picture. However the jeans certainly look good there. No doubt about that.
How do the rest of the jeans fit? Thigh especially, but also top block? You have to ask yourself if you can tackle the thigh if you size down. You also have to ask yourself if you’ll be happy when the jeans stretch and loosen.

They look pretty good to me but as @neph93 mentioned the measurements usually win over tag size alone.
For what it's worth, my 555-02 are a good 1.5" larger than my 555-03's. I simply just wear them as my 'comfy' pair and tigthen my belt a little. So an inch or so increase in the waist may not render them unwearable!
Lovely shirt too.

I have two pairs in these
One fit sung in size 32 look goods and little uncomfortable… Am ok with it
My other pair is size 33, I have been wearing these to work, they not sung
but loving them roomier at the top block and little lose at the waist.I can do anything in them to containers unloading and feel very comfortable.
I called them my workwear..I even been bike riding in them.
Only had them three months.
When these are bash up am gonna switch back to 666 IB 25oz give them a go at work.

Thanks @neph93 , @AdamJ and @Kasi
Top block, thighs and knee are all pretty spot on. No diaper butt or anything like it lol. I think if I sized down for waist I’d be a bit uncomfortable. Seeing the model shot in a 31 stopped me from going a size down. I am on the move all day so a bit of comfort will be nice.
Adam, Loving the ihsh-21. I’ve recently replaced all my shirts and added to my closet with all IH. They are just so good.
Cheers!

Sounds like you did a good job to me then. If I remember correctly you have the 777’s and the top blocks of these two models are very different. The 555 is intended to be looser with the higher rise and all. I’d say a belt is your friend and enjoy them.

Mmm … got a good point there @Kasi 🥲
I unfortunately popped a button doing mine…!!

Anybody in the IH crew have an idea when these will be re-stocked?
-
Next couple of weeks. And they will have a new Lot Number, as we try and rationalise Lot Numbers…..
IH-555S-21
@Giles thanks for the heads up!
I'm finding the break in of the IH 21oz denims are so much easier and comfortable compared to some other brands in the 14-16oz range. I'm at a point in my life where I've lost patience in breaking in denim…that's just me.

I was wondering if someone could give advice on cuffing these? I’m a 29 inch inside leg and generally haven’t cuffed most of the jeans I have. I’m planning on getting a double cuff of approximately 2 inches. Is it best to to go for a 32 or 33 inch inside leg?
-
Thanks, I’ll probably try a regular double cuff so maybe 33 inches is the way to go.

Have a good New Year -
Ah. Thinking of getting a pair of these. I have a pair of 555 -03 tag size 33, which fit really well both pre and post initial soak (but I’ve yet to wash them…), so wondering if I should get the 33 or the 34 in these, given there’s no shrinkage expected. I’ve a pair of 777 -14 tag 33, but I’m losing patience with them because even a year in, and two washes, the top block is too tight. Just put them on after the second wash and grrrrrrr...... LOL. I guess it’s the top block with me. Maybe I should wait for the 666S 21? Any advice welcome. Thanks.
