Thanks! I didn't measure, but based on snugness and knowing my true waist measures about ~31", I'd guess these ended up around 30-30.5". Based on how these fit, I could easily fit into a size 32, but I don't mind them being on the slimmer side; the cut looks nice regardless. -
Posting here as well, I got a pair of Big John S1953WS and they have a lot of upper thigh width, which might be of interest to others here. I struggle even with a lot of other relaxed fits, so these have been great, and it looks like Big John has quite a few wide legged models -

@UkeNo Thanks! Yeah, it was a long time coming. Been thinning up top more & more for the last couple years, and at a certain point the pony tail just starts to feel forced. That said, I love it so far; everything’s so much easier -
Reviving this thread, I stumbled into the Big John store in Tokyo after having seen some of their new jeans that were made of Suvin Gold cotton (and also on the very old Ishikawadai loom) when looking up SDA's suvin gold items. I went to the store thinking nothing would fit me, as I have abnormally large thighs (most relaxed fits are still tight on me), but surprisingly these S1956WS fit me (I'm kind of curious who their target customer is for this because anything that fits me well is a strange fit for normal people). I also like the zip fly, so finding something that fits me and has a zip fly is incredibly rare. I think there is also a non-Suvin Gold version of these jeans too. They run 30.8k yen, or 28k without tax, which at the exchange rate at the time of ~152, was a steal at USD185. I got them tapered, started wearing them at the beginning of this year, and just resoaked them, they seem like fast faders. The denim is rougher than I would have expected for Suvin Gold, but by no means rough compared to some of the super slubby stuff that's come out in recent years, and it has softened up quickly. I've been really enjoying them so far, I think they're a great medium ground between super vintage brands that like Warehouse and the IMO overdone extra-slubby stuff that's out there, interesting but not crazy denim and a lot of good details (plus a fit that works for me and the zipper). https://bigjohn-jeans.com/products/s1956ws-001?srsltid=AfmBOoofIgttxRVS-_9qw8eqzH2su-AZ90R9x3q6VC3qlSbgI10tF95r https://blog.denimio.com/ishikawadai-denim-series-big-john-and-more-famous-japanese-brands/?lang=us Below is the detail from the site: Introducing the new premium denim from "ISHIKAWADAI," crafted with 100% of the finest Indian cotton "SUVIN GOLD." Enjoy the exquisite fusion of tradition and modernity achieved through a vintage Ishikawadai spinning machine from 1953 and the raw finish of 14oz selvedge denim. Features ■ Material Made with 100% SUVIN GOLD cotton, one of the world’s rarest cottons from India. By blending first-pick and second-pick raw fibers with fallen cotton from SUVIN GOLD, we’ve achieved a rich, hairy texture and a rugged look. Known for its silky touch and deep luster, this denim stands out in quality. ・Tapered straight fit (roomy around the thighs and tapered toward the hem) ・Zipper fly (front zipper) ・One-wash finish ■ Manufacturing Process Spinning: Using a 1953 Ishikawadai ring spinning machine to create natural unevenness. This low-speed process reduces stress on the yarn, resulting in robust denim threads. Dyeing: Pure indigo rope dyeing Weaving: Crafted on vintage shuttle looms into selvedge denim, the fabric incorporates natural cotton-colored weft threads, producing a slightly brownish unique texture. Raw Finish: No sanforization (shrinkage prevention) or skewing (twist prevention) is applied, offering distinctive fuzz and twisting effects that develop beautifully over time with wear and washes. Details ■ Original BIG JOHN Specifications 10oz ultra-thick oxford pocket linings (in olive, inspired by the Ishikawadai spinning machine) Original zipper fly and copper rivets Custom black rayon tags and orange SUVIN GOLD labels for accents ■ NEW Vegetable-Tanned Leather Patch A durable cowhide leather patch with the "Four Crown" emblem. Featuring a world map and cotton motifs, it represents BIG JOHN’s global vision and the origins of denim. The bottom of the label is embossed with "SUVIN COTTON 100%" as a mark of its rarity. ■ Flasher Design The flasher features a special design inspired by the cotton-picking scenes in India, capturing the story behind SUVIN COTTON.
