Loosening up my 666XHSs - walking to the shop with an old phone in each of the rear pockets.

Hi all !  I'm new to the forum, my name is Martin, 42 years old, I'm a baker in France. 
Yesterday I received my first IH jeans, an 888 25oz, what a monster! 
I am 1.73m (5'8) tall and I weigh 72kg (159lbs), after a long hesitation I chose a size 31. I manage to close the button quite easily but I find the waist tight.  On the other hand, I am comfortable in the butt and thighs. 
What do you think, should I change it to a size 32?

[Giles]

My opinion is no.  They will stretch in the waist.  Give them a few days…...

[Dmart]

Me too, I would stick with the size. The waist will stretch.

@tinmar I'm in agreement with the two above opinions. If you've managed to get into them and tackled the buttons and they are tight in the waist then you've made it as the denim will relax a bit over time. Enjoy and welcome to the forum

I realize that I did not write in the right place, here it is the topic of 666, sorry! 
Anyway, thank you for your opinion

Is this okay to happen?

[Giles]

Yes

Could I cut it without anything happening?

Use a lighter to burn off the excess.

[Guest]

I can’t just cut it?

[hajduk]

I recommend that you burn it. No cutting with scissors. You can risk it coming undone by cutting.

Either leave it, or do what people who know what they are talking about advise…..

[Kasi]

Burn it….

Would be safer.

I have done it many times.

The 666 has a more classic, trim top block, smaller over the hips and rear and with a lower rise. Depending on how your 555’s fit you may need a size up. But you may not.

The thigh starts similarly slim but only tapers slightly to the knee before dropping fairly straight to the hem. So if you can manage the 555 thigh you’ll be fine.

@Kasi @neph93 thanks guys! Think i’ll stick with the same size that’s waist wise the same as my 555 UHR. And i have some room in the waist and thigh in that beast! Should be good

My new 666XHS. Size 31. One size down from my 666 21 oz. Warm soaked for an hour and then cold washed, inside out. Removed after first wash cycle, and then cold rinsed in a tub. Drip dried for 24 hours. Fit was tight, but reasonable and have now relaxed around my hips and thighs. I really like the heft of the denim and these will be wearable for the next 5 months in Cleveland, Ohio.
Definitely will be hemming to 31”. Cuffed just so I don’t kill myself walking around the house.
