Everyone,
David from Worn Out Global here. I wanted to announce our Thursday February 23 meetup. We're actually going to be hosting it at Blackhorse Lane Ateliers (https://blackhorselane.com), London's sole denim factory. It's a really cool space, perfect for a denim meetup. Come on by, though note that the event is bring-your-own-beer

Just a quick reminder that the Meetup is one week away. Come on by everybody!
Hi all, We're happy to announce our next Worn out London meetup! This time we have denim head Victor from Austin Texas over in London to join us. He also goes by the name of @selvedge1 on Instagram. So if you like to totally geek out about anything related to hard-wearing clothing and apparel and love to meet fellow denim heads, then come and join us for some craft beers at Craft Beer Co. Islington on the 12th of August!

Huge thanks to Haraki-san and Giles. Looks like I should pop-by Rivet & Hide to swap my 31s for 32s!
This bit of info in particular was super helpful:
Secondly, generally, the measurements are as is, now. So soaking before wearing will lose you .5. You're new starting point will be 30.5. With wear they'll stretch an inch to 31.5. That being said, I asked G about the stretch with this denim and he got 1.5 on a size 33 (I think, check the thread). So you may well get more than an inch if you need it.
Quick question on the 555N's.
I own a pair of IH X R&H 666S. I bought a size 31, and they've broken in perfectly. After a bit of necessary stretch, I'm really happy with where the fit has landed.
I'm considering buying some IH 555N and would have normally bought a 31 again, as I would assume the sizing is quite similar. After reading the numbers and a few reviews, it seems like the sizing is different on these, I.E:
Given the difference, would you still recommend I stick with a 31 as the rise is higher on the 555N, or would you size up?
Also, I notice that the 555N is described as having 1" stretch, but 0.5" shrinkage. Does that mean that in the end, the waist will still land at 1" larger than I started with (assuming I only cold soak them - and not very often)?
