Thanks Sabergirl, there's some good points there. I'm probably just suffering from analysis paralysis

@Alex and BD81 thanks very much for the prompt reply, guys, much appreciated.

Hey folks,
My apologies for resurrecting an old(ish) topic but I have got my eye on a pair of these bad boys, but I am slightly reticent because I haven't owned 25oz before and it's a bit of an investment.
My main question is around the sizing, I have followed the measurement guidelines but unfortunately my 'snuggest' jeans that fit well (a pair of Indigofera Nash gunpowder) kind of fall right in the middle of 35 and 36, so I am not sure which to go for.
When I measure my existing jeans even just the slightest tension will get them to be ideal for a 36, but I'm not sure if they should be laid just flat in which case they are closer to 35.
It might be worth mentioning that I am 50, so the the chances of me getting any thinner are pretty negligible.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

Hey everyone, after years of lurking (in a non-sinister way) I have taken the plunge and joined the forum.
I live in Shrewsbury in the UK. It's a small relatively obscure town in the west of England but has Charles Darwin as its most famous son and for all those of a certain age who remember the 80s vibes was also the home of T'Pau.

I am an ultra heavy flannel fiend with a few in the wardrobe, but only have jeans of up to 14oz. However I am looking at going up to 25oz so may deluge some of the XHS threads with questions (My apologies in advance).

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well in these crazy times and looking forward to touching bases in the form.
