Thanks Bobbo. I do see the edit button but it is grayed out on all my posts.

Apologies, didn't mean to have my ugly mug be first on the new page again. Unfortunately I can't seem to edit or delete my own posts.

This is more of a SuFu question, but why can't I edit/delete my own posts? I posted first on the new page of WATWT thread again and wanted to delete it so someone else can have the first spot.

Thanks for the input Tion! Don't worry, I will most likely end up doing the same and ordering both, ha.

I think you are correct that I have been ordering a size too big. I have lost some weight and I think I'm still overestimating my size.

Sorry to ask you this again, but would you mind posting full measurements of your 1101s? It'll be nice to have a real world example.

I'm afraid of the waist. My RgT have a 10.5" rise with a 17" waist and I can easily fit 1 or squeeze 2 fingers in my waistand on the hip. If I have an extra inch of rise, wouldn't a 16.5" waistband be too large?

Actually, Fullcount is the main brand I have been eyeing lately. I have been scouring measurement tables and read through the whole Fullcount thread, trying to decide between the 1101 or 0105 cut.

According to BiG's charts, I think I would be a size 31 in the 1101. I'm afraid of the 7.5" hem but since I have stubby legs, my inseam is only 29-30" and thus the leg opening should be larger on my pair.

I have come to realize that none of my pants fit me that well. Even my SDAs (which are my current favorite fit) are not the best. I spent some time today and took full measurements and fit pics of most of my pants as a way to compare measurements as I decide on my next pair after my UES sizing debacle. I'm thinking that from this data I can come up with a set of ideal post-shrink/stretch measurements and go from there.

Excuse the folding creases, most pairs have been in a box for months. Also excuse the crappy Gustin color/fades. Can't believe I wore those for like 6 months.

Levi's Jorts

BR: 14.75

T: 12.75

LO: 9.75

The jorts fit the best in the waist at a ~10" rise. SDAs fit the best in the thighs/hips, slightly big in the knée but a nicely sized LO. The RgT are a little too big in every way, and the Gustins are still comfy in the thigh but way too much taper. So, my ideal post-shrink/stretch measurements based on the pairs I have now would be approximately as follows. However, if I buy a pair with a higher rise I will definitely have to reduce the waist to ~16" or maybe less, depending.

What do you guys think? Is my thought process sound? I didn't realize how much of a nooby I was with respect to sizing. I will have to follow this same process for my shirts soon.

Still interested pending final measurements.

Thanks for all the input/condolences guys!

I gave them a hot wash, at least the hot setting on the washer at my laundromat. Perhaps something was screwy, the washing machines are very old.. I will give them another hot wash tomorrow and see what happens.

Same size as my 103s, both 33. Honestly I saw Tion's measurements, assumed they were measured BiG style (my fault), and just ordered them without doing enough research first.

Anyone want a fresh pair of UES? Ha.

Post-wash measurements (BiG style)

Waist - 17"

Rise - 11"

Thigh - 13.25"

Knee - 9"

Leg opening - 8"

Inseam - 30.5"

These are way too large on me in the top block. I think I will try to exchange the flannel for one size down and attempt to sell these jeans. Unfortunate I decided to hem them, it will make it harder to resell.

This seems to be a case of me getting too excited and ordering what I thought would work instead of sitting down and crunching numbers. A shame, but not the end of the world.

You are correct, they didn't shrink enough. I overestimated what size I would need. This is unfortunate.

Damn, sizing sucks.

A package came today.

Lots of cool stuff inside. First up, a pair of 400T. Forgot to take presoak measurements, I just went ahead and chucked them in for a hot wash (oops). They are drying now. Here's my presoak fit.

Also got a flannel. Unfortunately, I think I got one size too big. What do you guys think?

Oh, and some other goodies.

I think this is machine wash #4, with a couple soaks and handwashes in the beginning. I'm planning on washing every 2-3 weeks from now on, I have been going too long between washes lately.

Thanks Hog! I was worried that I was posting too many pics, glad to hear they are not bothersome.

Fresh out of the wash, lost more indigo than I expected. Excuse the purple shirt, it is laundry day after all!

Great fit. I ordered the same flannel last night (along with a pair of 400T)! These pics make me even more excited than I already was.

Hey tion4, would you mind posting post-soak measurements when possible? I am interested in the 400T as one of my next pairs.
