    Hi guys. Have a pair of Warehouse 800 (pics below). they are size 31, worn about 20-30 times. they are still a bit snug in top block. 

    want to get a pair of TCB 50s, and tried them in raw/non-washed at American Classics in london. they recommended i go for size 33. just a bit confused as WH 800 31 as well as FC 1108, although both a bit tight in upper block. i have tried to measure my waist as would like to buy TTS but cant seem to get a sensible waist measurement. any advice appreciated. for reference i'm 5'7 around 160lbs. doing cross fit these days so thighs getting a bit bigger

    if i'm being honest with myself i dont wear the WH of FC to work, as i find my cheap 501s from last year more comfortable. so if the TCB a bit looser could be fine. just from 31 - 33 seems like a big jump and my size hasnt changed

    my 50s in size 34, wash at 40 degrees and hang dry
    after around 20 washes, the waist is now measured 81-83cm 

  2. the 1955 36x34 is still baggy after two 60 degrees wash
    so i ordered the 34x32 for comparison and it fits like my tcb50s size 34 after one 60 degrees wash, can't bear another hot wash tho
    in result, @Paul T has very accurate advice :D

    here's the post wash measurement in cm
    1955      34x32     36x34
    waist:       40            44
    raise         31            33
    thigh         32            33
    L.O           22            22

    it's hard to decide either keep or selling the 36x34 after the cone is gone

    my LVC were true to size, and I bought my actual waist size. The TCB are tagged with their post-shrink size, which allows for circa one inch of shrink. if tjey were raw Levi's and you fancied a slightly trimmer fit I would recommend 34 tag size. But unfortunately that doesn't help with the New Rinse pairs, as we don't really know how they're sized or cut.

    thanks Paul! i wish could see your message earlier!
    i will try another hot wash on the 36 tonight and re-order the 34 if nothing change on the fatty legs.........

  4. @mandel9000 @bartlebyyphonics  thanks for the useful information! but i just can't hold my hand before the replies :D
     received the package 36x34 yesterday, waist is fine after 60 degree hot wash but the lower legs seems much fatty than my 20s, will try another hot wash tonight to get the max shrinkage 
     

  5. hi all, considering to order my first LVC on site and looking for some size advice on 55 501 NEW RINSE version.
    should i get the normal size as japanese jeans or needa size up on top for comfort fit? 
    i normally wear a 33 in warehouse, 34 in tcb 50s and 20s, thank you!

  6. have finally washed my indigo carpenter pants and start wearing it, the fabric is hairly, soft and smooth
    once u put on, u never want to take off, it's much more comfortable than the seamen's
    it definitely will be my fav summer pants, will take fit pics when i have time!

  7. thank you all!

    after few days wear, noticed the pants are actually much stretcher than the 50s, might able to get a 32 instead. but overall, i'm happy with current fit and maybe couldn't wear on anything in slim fit thereafter!

  8. i'll probably grab the bag for sure!!!

    i'm getting the 36, 38 is a little too big for me, do you have the size measurement? one wash or raw?
