I’m not a sizing expert, I keep a list of the sizes of my clothes and how they fit. When I was closer to 215lbs I’d be considering a XXL.
-edit, just noticed you were considering XXXL not XL. Hard to say in that case. I was just thinking XL would be way to small for you.

@Watty said in IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo:

If I'm 6'1" 230, take an XL in the DR CPO and XXL in UHF Western/Work, should I go XXL or XXL on this anyone figure?

I’m 5’9 200LBS with 43” chest
Same size as ironshopprovisions Josh

Wear a XXL in western and XL in my dobby work shirt and chose XL for this.
I was almost tempted to size down until people on here said size up to just went with TTS

Obviously the best way is to get some measurements from other jeans you own (that don't have stretch fabric) then look at the chart.
But I am going to purchase the 777 UHR next most likely. I also have the 555 SBG in 36 so went and tried on a size 36 777 in store (14oz) and the overall fit was as expected, tight waist, more snug in the sides top block (hips) and more room in the lower leg. The thigh area was still snug. The rise felt a little lower than expected, but I am sure would get used to.

Like you, my 555 have stretched to 38 at the waist, and are a little loose now. I will be going with a 36 in the 777 which should be close to 37", then shrink to 36 and stretch back out close to 37. Thighs on the UHR will probably shrink 0.3-0.5 depending on if using a dryer.
In my case I don't think sizing down to a 35 is a good idea. It seems better to have them a bit on the looser side than always too snug, especially if you already have issues lifting your knee.

Rooney, I know what you mean, when I’m wearing mine and moving my arms around to try to break it in more I feel the same seam digging in near my elbows.

Mine was pre owned but looked pretty new, I wore it watching a few movies, few dog walks and car drives, then sprayed mine down with a spray bottle with distilled water, went for a 40 min drive, layer down flat overnight, wore a few more times, then rubbed mustang paste into it with my fingers.
It’s softer now, but on the downside I think my nice crisp sleeve wrinkles I had have softened maybe too much and flattened out a little. I liked them looking more bunched up before, so not 100% sure I would use the mustang paste so soon next time, probably should have waited longer.

@Rooney-04

Mine isn’t completely uncomfortable, I just can’t try to drink a beer or coffee, or drive a windy road. Isn’t this normal when wearing a thick leather HH jacket?

I’m going in circles every day trying to decide between these or a 777 coming soon.
As far as I’ve read the top block in the 777 is a little tighter, and with a slightly wider knee the thigh region should have a little more room.
Is that correct?
The measurements between the two are similar but I image they fit/feel much different.

(Also difference in rise of course)

1. 21oz sashiko shirt
2. 777 or 555 UHR jeans

Purchased a RGT jacket and couldn’t be happier. Shipped same day, quick and clear communication, awesome seller.
Looks practically brand new, fits great.

Just picked up the dobby cloth 12oz hoping it would scratch my sashiko(ish) itch. Hoped it would stop me from having to pick up one of these 21oz, but alas, this is still near the top of my want list.
Can’t come soon enough.

Hopefully these XHS live longer than these redwings did.

When it says "will shrink up to 1 inch in waist"
I assumed that meant, across, laying flat measurement.

Or does it mean 1 inch in circumference?

In their last livestream they said the 40oz is coming this fall.
Seems very gimmicky but I’m pretty tempted to try getting a pair.
Probably going to cost $1000 or more.

These 25oz XHS are super easy to wear after a week.

@Rooney-04

Looks like you are close to my size. 5'9" 200lbs 43"chest, also trying to get down to 185 lol
XL in a RGT supply jacket 23p2p
between L and XL in freenote RJ1,RJ2 24p2p
usually a XXL in ironheart, my XXXL whipcord type 3 23.6p2p feels too large, my XL 23p2p shirt feels a hair snug.
42 in my old schott
My type 1 is a 42 and snug, but I could still drive a car and think it will break in to be the perfect size. (would have assumed I was a 44)
I went to the shop on the weekend and tried the roughout chore in a 44, it felt great, I can't wait to get one. TJ was super nice to talk with, I was a bit overwhelmed looking at all the cool stuff.
I was going to try a 46 chore but didn't bother as the sleeves on the 44 were already a hair long, and it felt fine through the chest, way easier to raise my arms than the HH type 1. In hindsight I should have tried a size 42 in the chore shirt to compare.

Bought some mustang paste, but not sure if I should get the jacket damp and wear it to shape it first, the paste might just make the water bead off.

This will probably be my next pair, in size 35 or 36, looks like these don't restock very often, (2 years?)

The 555 size 36 in SBG and XHS has been a great fit so far, but I am losing weight and they have both stretched out quicker than expected. The med/high rise is getting pushed down by my beer gut when walking, so maybe a shorter rise is better suited.

Did selfedge ever offer this in a 633? That is another cut I would like to try.

Probably won't get a 888 until l am down to a size 34, to keep the hem/leg proportions I like.

@Daniel-San
Yes it’s olive, and in the sun is a much brighter green. I seem to collect green jackets, gives a bit of colour, goes well with black or blue.

There was an olive western Y2 for sale a few days ago here, but it disappeared pretty quick.

Looks great fellas

Here’s mine (one week new to me)
I’m a 43” chest, probably a proper 44 in this jacket but grabbed this 42 second hand.

I would love to get a rough out chore shirt next.

Agreed, as I feel like if I lose waist size it will be a big jump to get the same proportions in a 888.
Jump down to an 35” 888XHS
Also don’t want the diaper butt I was getting with the N&F cut.
The measurements do seem to differ between fabrics though, so I’m planning ahead and taking notes on what to jump on in future releases before they sell out.

Fun and addictive hobby.

@MassiveThighs said in IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo:

@99Tjadams I like this fit

Have you tried the 888?

Coming from N&F easyguy I assumed the 888 was my cut. After pouring over charts for weeks, and realizing my MIJ13 easyguy has too baggy of knees, I went with 555.
I have a pair of sz40 888s that are huge one me.(bought 2nd hand cheap)
The ideal hem for me is 8-8.5”
Close or over 9” hem and they feel baggy on me, as I don’t cuff high, they cover too much boot.

I have been losing weight, so already pouring over what will be next if my waist drops, I think the 888 is ideal for smaller waist sizes to maintain that 13-14” thigh and 8-8.5” hem.

Will probably spoil myself with a 25oz OD or a 21/23 RAW in a 888 if I stick to my diet and have to size down again. (Already on the restock notification list)
