From everything you've said, I think the 30's should be the way to go for you. They start out at a true 31 and will stretch to a 32, which according to you will be good as you have chinos in that waist size that are still have a little room. The second fit picture you posted shows that you don't want the jeans skin tight, just comfortably slim.

I just measured myself again and came out with the following measurements:

30' waist

10.5 thigh

7 knee

Do you still think I should go 30s?

Sorry for asking again but as I'm ordering from UK, returns would be expensive!

I'm also about to pull the trigger on the ST-100x. However I am not sure how much to size down to get my desired look. This is my first pair of raw denim.

I have a pair of 31 jeans and have measured them to be 33 in the waist? These are a little too loose.

I have pair of chinos which I have measured to be 32 and these fit nicely, still a little room though.

My actual waist, it is 30.5.

I am thinking 30's for 3sixteens? or would they be too tight?

I'm looking to get a fit like these two
