@Giles:

It'll settle a little as it moulds and gets soft.  It looks from the picture that you have too much fabric between the crotch and the rear rise (for your particular physique)so it is slouching and has to do so at the seam as that is a natural pivot point.

Thanks for helping me out with this. Im gonna give them another hot soak and see if that tightens anything up at all, I figure it won't make matters worse. But I'm curious, based on the way these fit, which model do you think would work better for me in regards to that issue, because this is the best denim I've ever come across. Thanks again, its much appreciated

thompsoa- how'd that wash and soak go for your outseam problem?

[Finn666]

is there a chance on a possible restock?

[Giles]

There's a chance, I like the denim and the cut is popular, but the first run sold slowly compared to the 555-01 and 55-03…

[Finn666]

that's what I thought, but I saw the "extant" on the page and thought I should ask…thx G.!

[Giles]

It's extant until if or when I decide to kill it….

So odd, because the 02 IMO is by far the best denim of the three

Yea so I'm dying to purchase a pair of these. I will need to sell some shit to make it happen though! They is not cheep!

I know this has been discussed a bit, but can someone tell me a bit more about how these stretch and shrink when washed and worn over time? I'm not used to heavier denim, and only just got a pair of 301s but they're obviously a different beast since they're sanforized.

Do these stretch a ton after wear? How about, say, compared to Flat Head's 3xxx denim?

This denim doesn't stretch a lot after the soak. My vulcans, in the same denim, came raw with a 35.75" waist. They shrank to 34.75" and after 7 months of wear, the waist measures 35". IMO, it's the best IH denim offering, the 18oz!

Cool thanks man! I'm really looking forward to it, just gotta scrounge up some serious cash…

Mr. G, any chance of a sz 28 becoming available anytime soon?

[Giles]

No time soon (like 3-4 months), I have not initiated a new production run yet..

I can second that. I bought at pair of 555-02s and after initial soak and a couple wears they conformed to my body perfectly. However, this resulted in a really slim fitting jean and they barely give with wear, not like the 21 oz that will stretch a bit. These jeans are amazing though and they develop fades and wear marks quite quickly and this denim evo's into an amazing color, just be sure to size right.
