Looking for some sizing advice on these. Not sure if I'd be a 33 or 34. How much would the waist stretch on a pair of these? I have a pair of 666s's that stretched more than I expected and they're a little loose (I can pull them off while still buttoned). If a tag 34 measures 34.5, will it stop at 36" or keep going?

[jebbriley]

A simpler question: Is anyone else out there an actual 36 waist, and if so, what size did you buy?

[Fadez]

Waist stretches a decent. You can get a solid inch. Up to 2 if you don't concern yourself with circulation. They run about .5" more than tagged size. I wish I sized down 1. Will do for the black pair when I get a chance.

Thanks!

A starting waist of 34.5" can absolutely get to 36". Won't go much further without mechanical assistanse.

So this might be good news, my waist is a 32 and the tag size 30 is actually 30.5 are you saying if I order them and put up with them while they stretch I will end up with them at a 32? Or is it just better to go with the 31 tag size and deal with them a bit baggier. I do want them in a more fitted look I hate when they become too large

As long as you can do the thigh on the W30 I'd go that way. You can ask IHUK to check the W30's for a specific waist measurement (closer to  31" for example).

Thanks for all of the help! Placed my order this morning and can't wait to get going! My first IH pair and first 21oz denim as well!

Restock arriving today….....

I just have to say, once they were cropped down to 31', these are the best damn pants I've ever worn since caving into denim.

Thank you,

Boom! Finding the right length to hem jeans is surprisingly difficult, but when you get there everything looks better…

First day in 21 oz denim and it's a bit rough going.

First day ever? Or first day after summer?

Ever (well, besides my 526jod)
