@sabergirl Gotcha, thanks! I'd hate to wash these to find out I wouldn't fit. That happened to me on a previous pair I'd sized down too much in.

Hey guys,

I'm looking at these as my first IH raws and after measuring my best fitting pants, am not sure whether to go with the 816DD in tag size 30 or 31, due to the waist.

Here are my measurements for my current pants in inches, using Iron Heart's method:

Waist: 30.5
Front Rise: 10
Back Rise: 14
Thigh: 11.5
Knee: 8

And the measurements of the 816DDs:

Tag size :  30 31
Waist 30.0 31.0
Front 10.1 10.4
Rear 14.2 14.5
Thigh 11.3 11.6
Knee 8.8 8.9
Hem 8.3 8.5
Inseam 36.0 36.0

What do you guys think would be the ideal fit?

@kiya:

Yes! These will be coming back this year in the early spring.

It's exciting to hear that these might be available just in time for entry into DWC.
