How long does it take for the part below the knee to conform more to the leg. This is the part that has the least tension. Does this only become softer after washing?

@SashaDBZ , not really. Washing never make that part of my jeans pliable. Just time and wear.

Still looking at a November drop on these or did I miss them? Looking for a mid 30's sizes.

Almost 2 years on these guys. Got em back from the tailor for a crotch blow out repair and so happy to have em back in the rotation

@schraiber Perfect fit that! I'm going to grab a pair as soon as they're restocked at Rivet & Hide

[schraiber]

@m4xime Thanks man. I actually think if I got them again I'd maybe go up a size---they're just a little snug on my waist, especially when I tuck something in. And wouldn't necessarily mind a tiny bit more space in the leg, just to fit in with that Gen Z style

[meltdown]

@schraiber That looks great! Did you find the waist stretched out over time or stayed the same? Trying to get a sense of what to expect on my first pair. TY

[m4xime]

@schraiber That's interesting as I was thinking of potentially sizing down with the 1" inch stretch that tends to happen

[schraiber]

@meltdown It definitely stretched a bit, and I priced that in, but I think I may have been a slight bit too hopeful. Honestly, it's a situation where it's basically fine if I'm not tucking a shirt in, but it's just slightly uncomfortable when I am tucking.

For contrast, I have these in size 33 and they're maybe 16.75 inches flat, while I have a pair of 888 ducks in 34 that are maybe 17 inches flat, and the ducks are significantly more comfortable just with that quarter inch flat/half in total.
