@Maynard - 34x34 (added to original post) 

 

My actual crotch length from nads to floor is about 32". I'm about 5' 11.5". I like an inseam length of around 33" so there's is some stack, but not too much, and I then have the option to cuff on occasion. I normally don't cuff. I also don't like my pants to ride up above my ankles when I sit. I'm not into the high water look,  maybe with boots, but I can't pull it off like @Hendsch does. I wish these were about an 1" longer... 

 

A note on measuring - I've tried measuring the waist three ways (with many different jeans, not just these 1976 501's): 1) just lying them flat, with the front lower than the rear, and tightened sideways; 2) matching the front waist to the rear, and tightening sideways; 3) the IH way, with the jeans folded sideways and the front button to one side, tightened sideways; I've found that all three methods give similar measurements, no significant differences. 

Ah, thanks! 

They get washed right side out but I think the fades are more pronounced from rubbing up against climbing walls. I'm actually a little concerned that, that area will be the first to blow out.

and yes I'm a 33 year old man camping in a backyard.

Monthly 129 update:

i mostly climb in these so they get worked and washed often and are getting crazy. I just went climbing so some of the white is chalk but they generally are pretty close to what you see.

I've had them since December 2015 but have maybe worn them a year? They have been washed countless times (30-40?) but did go the first 2 months before a wash.

SD-307 December 2015 until now, washed often:

Hey all, I'm gonna have to bailout, just dumped a bunch of money to get my car running again so it's not in the cards right now  

Yeah, my 60's were one washed, no complaints from me.

Looks similar to mine, and I get the self-conscious thing with the Canadian tuxedo. The first day of work in LA I wore the tux and was immediately known for it from that point on, It quickly made me realize I was no longer in Portland...  

Pants are in the mail!

here is what they look like after their final wash with me:

A taste of what's to come from the man himself:

Great, I'll send them your way this week!

Also, who is next in line? Bout time I send these on their way.

Hey this is a bit overdue, work has been crazy but here is my trip to the Rose Bowl flea 2 weeks ago:

This was at 9am, shit get's even crazier as the day goes on...

First stop of the day was over the bridge to where all of the vintage clothes lives and I immediately came across this pristine Big E:

Next up was a pair of was a pair of 60's Big E 501's that were way out of my price range $500, which I also failed to photograph

Lastly, I picked up this rad vintage Rat Fink shirt, that I'm super excited about:

That sure is true. It was super hard to find accurate fits on my 60's (in small sizes) before I purchased them and honestly before I saw the Nifty post I was a bit on the fence with my full commitment to regularly wearing the 20's.

Fit pic of the 20s provided by nifty do.

That rise looks just as high as I'd personally like it to be.

 

This fit is getting me excited! Great to see what I assume is a 29 on a build similar to my own.

After some thought, I'm gonna need to change my length to 75cm post wash.

If your a 32 you should get a 32 one wash.

Update on my 129's

We are rather spoiled here with climbing gyms. Touchstone has 3 gyms with one more on the way, and there are 3 more gyms from other companies in the area. LAB the one I went to today is actually the smallest of the Touchstone gyms in Los Angeles, the largest, Cliffs of Id has 26,000 sqft of climbing.......
