@Seul:

Pre-soak?.. Exchange and size up.

Absolutely.

[Giles]

They don't need a soak and will stretch, not shrink…..

[secretdouchebag]

ok, so one size up?

FYI the IH-555-01 are sanforized so they shouldn't shrink that much.

[Finn666]

there´s really no need to soak these prior to the first wear…even I (you hear that IJ and others!) would exchange them for at least one size up!

[Seul]

Yeah see: I forgot these are the sanforised 21 oz ones… My bad... 

KEEP 'M, WEAR 'M!.. They'll stretch to perfection!.

no way would i size up on that. they're a slim fit and that's what you got there. my previous 21oz ended up stretching 2" in the waist over the years so stick with those for sure.

I honestly feel very comfortable with the waist. My only area of concern is the crotch area.

How much did your crotch area stretch out?

if you can see your fly buttons, they're too tight.. go one size up.

^^that is my opinion as well.  Yes the denim will stretch…eventually.  But not before you damage the buttonholes and seams.  And jeans that skinny do not look good on dudes (less skin on future pics please).  IH jeans have a high inseam, and you will not be able to avoid the horrific male camel toe.

My pair of 18oz were pretty tight at first as well.  I to went with a size down but that was because they were auctioned samples.  I think u can get a lot of stretch out of urs.  I'd like to see a better pic of u wearing them though..maybe a bit more straight on of a pic and put some distance so we can see a bit better.

[Anesthetist]

I would go up a size personally.

[joesaintjohn]

Feck it, I say you trade 'em in and size down one. And, in your next fit pic, definitely shoot off a couple of middle finger freedom rockets! Boom. Winning.

This is quality advice.

If it's uncomfortable in the crotch for me anyway, they're not worth having.  IMO you should size up…
dick room comes first!

[llvlaglne]

i gotta ask… your jeans being that tight right now.... how high can you kick right now?

[oliverward]

that whole top block will stretch out. i'd be persevering if they were mine but that's just me.

[Max Power]

Even if the top block stretches they will feel tight in the crotch and thighs…and I think they would also look much better with a little room here and there. Sizing down on already slim fits is common but not my cup of tea. Just my 2 cts.

[secretdouchebag]

Yeah I do feel the crotch area is indeed too tight. Will mail in for size up!

[daynym]

Sounds like a good idea. You wouldn´t have that much fun in the long run if you´d keep that size. On the one side it looks off and on the other side your testicles need some space to move, too

My first post here…

I bought a pair of these in 33. My last jeans were some Flat Head F380s in 34, and the difference in slimness is large, as you would imagine.

I'm enjoying my first pair of IHs, and I'll post pics soon.
