So, here is the answer:

 

"Our Jeans are made in Okinawa, Japan, & are made from 15 oz Dry Denim.
The jeans waist will shrink to the size indicated on the label, so a size 32 will become a 32 inch waist pair of jeans.

I have worn my own pair (Regular fit type) for 6 months, & haven't found them to stretch.
I find that they fit in a similar way to Levis 501 in regard to sizing, as 32 is my size in ours & Levis."

 

So I guess all the measurements on their website are post wash measurements. Now, considering my waist size is a 31, I have to choose between a 32 and boiling them to shrink them enough (but could damage the leather pocket lining and patch...) or taking a 30 and try to stretch them enough to be comfortable... Well, always the same with sizing dilemma...

Has anyone ordered from Double Volante in recent years? If so, did you do it in-person in Japan or through Instagram? What's the current custom offering? Historically it seemed like there were a number of denims available, a lot hardware (rivets, buttons, zippers) available, a variety of custom details available if you asked for it, but only the 47 and 66 cuts (though you could get a slimmer version of either cut if he sewed the seams differently I think), is that still the case?
