Have given my tagged 33's a medium-hot soak, and here are the before/after measurements (jn inches)
Pre:
Waist 35
Thigh 12.5
Knee 9.25
Opening 8.5
Inseam 35.75Post:
Waist 34
Thigh 12
Knee 8.75
Opening 8.125
Inseam 34.5I was hoping for a fit like Simon's (below), but mine have remained a bit baggier than I would like (especially in the arse area). The waste is perfect right now (I prefer not to wear belts), but will no doubt stretch out at least an inch over time. I usually find that if the waste is perfect when new, it's too big after only a couple of weeks.
I'm debating whether to keep them or go down a size. Tough call…..Simon if you're reading this, how have yours stretched?
I'll get a pic or two up here soon.

Ahhhh what the hell… I just ordered a size 32 from SE. The denim is so damn good I want these jeans to be the perfect fit so I'm gonna play off the 32 against the 33. The 33 is pretty good, but maybe a tad too loose. Let's see what the 32 offers.
The loser ends up for sale, so stay tuned for a cheap pair of Indo's sometime soon....
Either way, I can't wait to rock this amazing denim.
Yes, I am fucking insane.

nah, you seem to fit in really well here rock-n-rolla.

Continuing on my one-man quest to maintain this thread…
Yesterday was kinda like Christmas. Two packages of IH stuff arrived during the morning - the first contained a pair of BBod and some leather samples from Giles, and the second contained my Indo's from SE. Happy days!
After a quick fit-check I set about soaking the Indo's. Surprisingly they didn't shrink as much as the size 33s I got a few weeks back. Maybe the water wasn't quite as warm, although it felt the same to me. Anyway, they shrank enough for me to like them more than the 33's. I took a couple of pics straight after they dried...
Christmas in April?
Tagged 32 Indo, post soak. Might give 'em another soak to see if I can get a little more shrinkage in the lower leg…
Tagged 32 Indo, post soak. Stealth arcs - fuck yeah! I think these will settle in nicely with some wear.And so, the winner of the "Self Edge x Iron Heart SEXIHXINDO16" size 32 Vs size 33 playoff is…...32!
So, that means I have a soaked but unworn pair of tagged 33 Indo's up for grabs. I'll put an ad together soon, but if anyone is interested in the meantime please PM me. I'll let them go at a reasonable discount!

Great first post Mikey. Those are some handsome jawns.

Makes me want to break mine out of storage and finally get some wear time in them. Trying to hold out a few more months, though.

Yep great contrast!

The cut looks great too, might have to reconsider making these my next jeans…..hmmm :-\
