How is the sizing on these? I'm a 10 to 10.5UK so don't know whether to go for medium or large.

Thanks for quick replies guys. So if the only difference a soak will make is a slight reduction in bleeding but won't change length or softness/ rigidity, I probably won't bother.
Need to start wearing the beasts in. My wife has already commented on the marks left at the tops of my thighs from my first wear (that did in fairness include a lot of stretching, squatting etc to loosen them up).

Just bought these from the VMC Original Store (best jeans store in the world?) and have a couple of questions. From reading through the thread and talking to the awesome staff in Zurich, it seems that a soak or wash might take an inch off the length but nothing in the waist of legs (which is perfect as I'm leaving them long to cuff and the thighs are already tight).

Question is, they are bleeding quite a lot, I have blue stains on the chinos I was wearing while looking at the jeans and my hands were blue after turning them inside out a couple of times to soften them up. Would a wash or soak minimise this? Also, if the length is going to shorten up a bit, am I better soaking sooner rather than months down the line so that I can iron in the cuffs at the length I want them without needing to change them in the future?

Cheers,

john
