I'd exchange these except that they were purchased through Rakuten.

Anyone interested in a pair of new (with tags) 32" FH 3001's with Japan-only arcs for $225? (Shipping is included in the U.S.). Just trying to break even on these.

Just got my 3001's in a size 32" the other day. The fit is slimmer than I anticipated (even on my chicken legs) but I love the overall look and feel of the denim. I'm worried though that with a hot wash these might become painful and/or unwearable. Right now the waist is "perfect" - almost snug and exactly how I'd want them to fit after 3 months of wear. I'm worried however that the waist (and perhaps the thighs) might shrink too much after a hot wash.

What do you all think about the fit? Should I keep them or sell them and buy a 33"?

Hi everyone. Looking for some advice on buying a pair of 3001's from Rakuten. The actual waists on most of my jeans seem to be around a 33". I'm currently wearing a 31" IH-666S, a 30" UB-321, a 31" Nudie Grim Tim, a 30" APC NC, etc. These numbers don't seem to add up, but anyhow...

What do you recommend I go with on the 3001's?

I'm looking to buy a pair of Flat Head 3001 - NW's from Rakuten and hoping to get advice on the following:

Sizing

I wear a 31" Nudie Grim Tim, 30" APC New Cure, 30" Unbranded, 31" Iron Heart 666S. What should I go with on the Flat Heads? Also, do you know how long the inseams run? Are they 36"?

Rakuten

Any advice on buying through them? Can I ask to have the 8% tariff/tax removed? I'm thinking about buying through this shop: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/frisbee/item/10003695/

Arcs

Will I definitely get the Japan-only simple arcs? (the ones banned by Levi's)

Thanks!
