Yeah definitely a shame because the jeans really do look great.

@dudewuttheheck easily the best fitting denim I’ve seen you post - excellent fit

Thanks @Duke Mantee! I was thinking the same thing. Aside from a slightly small waist, I do think this might be my best fitting pair of jeans yet.

Thanks all! I had noticed people saying they stretched back out pretty easily and that was certainly the case with mine. I am definitely happy I gave them another shot as I'm quite happy with the fit overall.

@Broark I actually think the jacket fits really well. Of course, I like shorter fitting jackets, but I think that looks brilliant.

Really cool that they're being made in navy/indigo as well.

And I think the beard is an improvement on the original look @lefty

I'm not sure what your collection consists of now dude but if I were you I wouldn't sell them all ..... far too easy to put a few lbs back on as you get older 

No, I'm not going to sell them all. That's a good point. At the very least, I will save my 37s because they have been worn so much and I love how they look right now. They will be great to throw on for a lazy day when I just want something extremely comfortable. I will also be keeping the 46 first half pair that I have because I like them the most and they are the closest to fitting right now.

They are all size 36 though, right?!

Yes they are all size 36. I already sold the size 38 47s I had.

Think positive dude, you’ve lost weight and fortunately none of it is from your feet so you get to keep that fine boot collection! 

Yeah it's definitely a good thing overall. I've even been able to keep losing weight during quarantine which I am happy about.

How much do you want for your leather jackets?

Haha you're unfortunately on the money there. My size 42 Mulhollands are starting to get a little too big on me...

Good point from Flash there Dude - plus personal tastes change... you might be grateful of an old, nicely worn, more spacious CSF friend in future instead of a few extra quid now.

Interested to hear why the TCB are not working out for you personally? I heard waist is a little less but will expand with wear; thighs are coming in less so understand that might be a problem for some.

You are certainly right about that. That's why I'm definitely keeping two pairs, but I still think I'm going to offload some other pieces. The thighs are definitely a big problem with the TCBs. It's not just the waist.

I think it's getting time to call it quits on my CSF jeans... I've lost too much weight and I just don't like how they fit anymore. I've even hot washed and tumble dried three of my four pairs and they still don't fit right. I'm sure everyone loves the anti-fit, but mine are too anti-fit for me at this point. I'll have to list them for sale and then see what I can do about getting some new pairs. It's a real shame because the wait is much longer now than it used to be. The D-42s should still be on the way in a couple of months so at least those should fit properly. With the TCBs not working out, I don't have any jeans that fit the way I want right now which feels weird.

You all who sized up were smart. I might be able to pass them onto my lady for her to wear for me. Depending on how much they shrink, they may work for her so that would be a nice turn of events.

Thanks for the pics dude. I know it’s impossible to measure jeans and photograph them with one pair of hands   but I always measure the waist aligned and pulled tight - which I think would be about 31.5” and as for the the thigh, I’d measure the inner (back?) section closer to the crotch too, in a line parallel with the waistband, pulled tight, which I think would give a measurement closer to 13” than 12”. Overall, they are still undersized but not by as much as it may seem. Sizing/measuring, no matter how it’s described can be very objective and open to interpretation.

Even pulled tight, the waist is not even 31 and even if they were, they'd still be 2" off. If I were to pull them to 31", I'd really be pulling them which is not how I measure. The jeans are also very flat at the thigh. They are absolutely not even close to 13" in the thigh. Nowhere near 12.5 even. 

The waist on mine is 2.5" too small and the thigh is at least an inch smaller than the chart. I understand being a little off, but based on the size chart, the waist on mine is smaller than the size 29 on the chart, so more than 2 sizes off. The thigh is smaller than anything on the chart... 

Here are pics with the tape measure just for proof.

Yours are a long way off chart especially, around the top block where it’s more critical - frankly this isn’t acceptable. I’d been optimistic about things despite earlier measurements being posted but the groundswell I’m reading is that there is an issue. I’ve still to receive mine, so I’ll wait until they arrive however I don’t have a great deal of confidence right now and I’d like nothing better than to be proved wrong.

Is it possible they’ve all been tagged wrong in the rush to complete?

Yeah the waste is off to an extreme degree. If I remember correctly, the thigh is pretty off as well. Those are the most critical. These could just work if they were one wash like this. Being raw at this fit, I have no chance whatsoever of making them work.

Mine are not going to work for me so I will offer them for sale to anyone who missed out and might want them. They're not even 31" before shrinkage which is quite off from the size chart we got. The thigh is also much smaller. Not even 12" when raw. These could work for me if they were one wash, but I'm planning on actually washing consistently so I unfortunately cannot make these work. It's a real shame because the patch is so cool and I am quite happy with the pocket bags I got. 

I have only tried them on once. Just want to get back what I paid for them.

Size 31 raw:

Waist: 30.5"

Front Rise: 13.75"

Rear Rise:17.5"

Thigh (at crotch): 11.8"

knee: 9.75"

hem: 9"

inseam: 31.5"

I might be fucked. I went by the size chart posted in the very first post. 

Same. I went by the posted size chart. If they are tag size when raw, I'm doomed.

while i don’t really agree with the practice of shipping overseas without notifying, i agree completely with that theory. ^^ 

 

unless they’re just shipping japanese orders first that is. 

 

i find it pretty hard to believe with all the hype and excitement that anyone who knows their jeans shipped wouldn’t come to the thread to talk about it. 

Yeah them shipping out the Japanese jeans first might be the reason. I agree that I'd be shocked if people who knew hadn't said anything.

The thing that is interesting to me is that I haven't seen a single person here say they have received any tracking information.

That makes me think they silently shipped them out then... unless someone has finally gotten tracking info or some people have gotten tracking and just haven't said anything.

*EDIT: Just saw on IG that they said they have been shipping since Monday, so they probably are just shipping them out without notifying which I hope is the case, because that allows me to hope that mine have already been shipped.

That is a really great fit on those!

@beautiful_FrEaK said it very well. As a CSF fanboy myself, I am excited to get them and compare the two approaches.

Thanks very much @el padre!

Thanks for the photos @Uncle Karl! Makes me more excited to get mine and get started wearing them.
