wow fit is spot on…what size?.. soak'em and post again bro

[oliverward]

hot soaking now. got 31's & re-hemmed to 33". they'll be pretty snug after, but i reckon they'll be just right.

[oliverward]

post soak. they lost about 0.75 in the waist, 0.5 in the thigh, 1.5 on inseam, & 0.35 in leg opening. i'll give these another hot soak to lose a tad more in the leg & tighten up the seat a bit more, but i think i sized right.

it's been years since i've had new pair of iron hearts, i'd forgotten how much hard work they were to start with! my thumbs are not happy at the moment.

[oliverward]

cheers Finn.

[Dirty Denim]

Killer fit Oliver ! I'm getting torn between 666's and 555's next now. Must do some measuring when I get home

[Dirty Denim]

Nate u should really consider the 555 cut.  They are better than u can imagine.  The fit is not what people first feared

[natehate]

I am considering it. It between them and the 666's gotta measure up some jeans I have see where they're at and such

[Dirty Denim]

@natehate:

I am Gonna buy them. I just need to figure out which of the 555's I should choose.

FIXED

Sizing is so close between the 666s and the 555 18oz it's tough to choose between.

[Finn666]

i do own both and IMO the 555 is a so much nicer fit/cut and overall feel as the 666Sod…I wear a 34 in the 555-03 and a 38 in the 666Sod.
the 555-03 are a tiny bit roomy in the waist and fitted in the thighs!
the 666Sod are also roomy in the waist and a that loser in the thighs, but with way more room in the knees and hem!

since owning the 634s-raw and now the 555-03, my 666Sod getting no wear at all!
IIRC I wore them for 5 days max. this year...I don't really like'em anymore and consider giving them away!...

great fit, oliver!

@ Rafa: I would keep the ods if I were you. the fit looks great and they are already faded beautifully.
od´d pants look great especially with your duck jacket…

[zwer]

I was thinking in terms of the 666s and the 18oz 555. Both quite close.

[natehate]

Finn if your thinking about getting rid of od666's let me know
You said 38?

[joesaintjohn]

Ditto on any 38s you feel inclined to let go…

post 2nd hot soak. i found things just firmed up a bit more all round, i lost a bit more in the waist but no more on the inseam. getting that top button done up was tough though…

[llvlaglne]

great fit….... what shirt is that?

[oliverward]

that'd be the ih-33 (i think) - whichever the one wash western is…
