In measuring a pair that fits well, this is what I get:
Waist: 32"
Front Rise: 10"
Back Rise: 14"
Thigh: 11"
Knee: 8"
Hem: 7.5"
Inseam: 32"
Do you think I could be anywhere close to something like that with a size 31 post-shrink? I'd obviously need to get them hemmed to get the inseam down. (I have short legs.)
Any idea about how the rest of the measurements might be affected by shrink? The sizing in the rise/thighs/legs/etc. sound better for me on the size 30. But I don't think the waist would be comfortable. Maybe I should consider a different jean?
Based on my experience with the IH-666S, I would say that the waist on this denim is pretty "stretchable" if you will. What does the perfect fitting pair of denim you own measure (The IH Way) in the Waist? This will help determine what size you would take in the IH-666S.
A good fitting pair measures 16" across, so 32".
Excuse my naïvety, but I think I mean Unsanforized. If it's Sanforized, then it won't really shrink much but will expand a bit with wear, correct?
I'm not sure what direction I'm going, but I was looking at the IH-666S specifically when I made the post.
I apologize if the answer to this question is readily available elsewhere, but I couldn't find it specifically discussed and this might be a good thread for it anyways.
I am trying to figure out sizing based on what can be expected after soaking and then breaking in. I think in order to get the fit I want, I need to size down. I'm concerned that I will end up with something a bit too tight in the waist though.
My question is, if I can expect to lose an inch from soaking and gain an inch by wear, does this mean I should expect the original measurement to be the final measurement? Or can I expect to gain back the inch from soaking and then another inch from wear on top of that, resulting in a final measurement that is about an inch more than the original?
I was supposed to drive down there that weekend, but heard the bridges were closed.
This winter has been completely bizarre.
