Only just scratched on the surface. But there is promise.

What kind of brass/leather key holster thing you got on those?! They look great!
Kawatako Brass Key Hook
Leather key holder is made by an old leather worker from Helsingborg Sweden. He have been in the trade for 40 years or so. He is around 60-65 years old.
I told him that he should put his stuff online. But he does not feel like it sadly. He is to close to retirement.
Anyway.
Here is the name of the store.
Bazaar Shangri-LaHere are some closeups

Hey folks, just wanted an opinion on a fit pic, before I soak and commit to these! Waist seems to fit perfect, and should require a bit of stretching after a soak. Definitely would not want to size down based on that. The thighs are a bit loose, and I can pinch about 2 inches of fabric. Thoughts or opinions? Wear em and love em, or find another cut?
-
Those look way too big to me, at least from behind. And it's hard to tell for sure from these pics, but the rise looks awfully high, like you're wearing them on your waist rather than on your hips. They almost look like a 1955 cut in that respect. Are you sure you can't size down?
-
What kind of look are you going for? Personally, I think those light fit really well after shrink. I also like to be comfortable, and if you size down on unsanforized denim it might not feel too good. I'm not sure if those are going to be "slim" but I think it could be really promising if you keep those

My thoughts mirror xtcclassic's but better pics might help.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies! I'm comfortable with these being a bit on the loose side. I have my 555-01's if I want super slim :). I bit the bullet and soaked these, and the fit is a lot better. Take a look:
May do one more soak and see if I can shrink them up more. If not, I am happy as is. -
Fit looks really good after a soak. Congrats!

Great fit man well done. And after a machine wash after a while or so all the shrinkage will be gone, great pair -
Great Ranch Hand shirt too

Soak did the job on those fella. Thought pre soak they didn't look like they fit right at all. Post soak, fit is great and all is well!
-
Wow, that's a huge difference. Totally different ball game now. They look fine.

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. I genuinely thought, after lots of reading, that 18 oz denim would shrink tons and be unforgiving. It seems after a day of wear these have loosened up quite a bit already. Almost to the point where they are too loose. Despite the fit looking alright, I will probably be selling these in the end.

With my Vulcans, I gave them two soaks over the course of 6 months or so and thought I had the shrink out. I gave them a machine wash and got even more so don't give up hope on them.
