I bought a pair of Iron Heart 301s from Self Edge and received them yesterday. I thought they were slim fit because Self Edge describes them that way, but after trying them on I think they are really a skinny fit on me. How much will these things loosen up in the thighs and seat? I want them to look like they do on the model on the Self Edge site:http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=71&products_id=408 . I can't pull off the emo skinny jeans look even though I am tall. Since wearing them since yesterday I have noticed them loosening in the calves and waist, but this is 21 oz denim, so I'm doubting they'll loosen up as much as normal selvage.

Its gonna take about 3-4 months, and the jeans will strech approx. an extra inch circumference in thighs (say half a size, less so in less snug fitting areas). Gonna shrink some when you wash em, but soon streches back out.
The top block is rather big on the 301-S, so if you feel like sizing up might be to big in the waist, buy a pair of 666s. If I understood it right these are slim fitting as well, but less carrot shaped.

They are loose in the top block stingray, mine were snug when I bought them and about a week later
they stretched so much they were loose in the legs and I needed to wear a belt. Give them time as
Captain said, they'll stretch a lot.
Please post some pics if possible, would love to see how yours fit. -
Critique at will. Again, the real problem I have is they are so tight in the thighs and seat. They are are size 32. For comparisons sake, I wear a 32 in APC New Standards and a 32 in N&F Slimguys. Here you go …
I cross posted to Style Forum as well.

Size up definitely, those are too tight on you…

Is sizing up to a 33 sufficient?

Are they hard to zip and button? How tight are they across your hip area?
