Wearing right now and trying to break in my Ironheart 666 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo.
I need some more room in the waist (33) and in the thighs. I’m confident they will stretch. They have to.

Oooooooo, timely! I’m planning to order a blue pair tomorrow. I like the high rise and good leg opening for wearing with engineer boots - without the legs being super baggy and shapeless. I just have to recheck the measurements when I get home tonight to make sure the thighs will be roomy enough for me
Exactly why I bought them! High rise, room for boots, but still a good straight fit.

My 21oz 666 (also 33) started very snug, but have relaxed nicely with sporadic wear over the last couple years. I’ve noticed that they are pretty stubborn as far as any fading thus far. Only jeans I’ve ever had strangers remark about(other than my Wabash striped IH 814, everyone seems to love those). They are a great fit for me. I like the rise. Not quite as low as the 777, but much lower than the 888s I had and couldn’t get along with.

I’ve been wearing them all day long today. First time this autumn, thanks to temperatures dropping. The waist was 33.4 inches when I bought them last February. It is 34.5 right now. Hope the thighs will relax as well. And if I go a few pounds down it will help.
I’ve got remarks from colleagues at work. They don’t go unnoticed.

Did the waist on yours stretch out a lot with wear?
My pair is a 29 waist which according to Second Sunrise (https://secondsunrise.se/products/i...k-***powder-denim-copy?variant=50355858702663) is 40 cm across the waist. They are right now at 41-42 cm when I try to make the waist lay as flat as possible. So a bit wider, but there could also be the classical deviations in manual measurements involved. But I’ve also washed them a few times.

Oh, and I noticed they are on quite a bit of a sale at the second sunrise website! Sadly they are all out of my size.

Thanks. I ordered a pair from Franklin and Poe yesterday. I’m a little nervous about the thighs being too tight and the waist - they assured me I can expect an inch of stretch in the waist with good wear, so we’ll see.

I think they’ll stretch out just fine. Mine was just perfect when I got them, almost a bit too large in the waist, so there hasn’t been that much stretching going on.

I'm pretty curious about the thighs. Feedback from you highly appreciated.

The size chart says size 32 thighs are 12.5”, though when they measured a pair for me they came in closer to 12”. That’s about as slim as I can go, so they better not shrink at all. But all the other measurements looked good so I decided to take a punt on them
