First post soak fit pictures, sorry they're bad quality. Good thing is that the combs are starting to form quite nice and sharp considering its only been a couple of days of wear:

i'm a 30 in ih301s, and got a 32 in the imp's. i probably could have sized down to a 31, as they stretch alot.

just measure your ih's & go from there.

i read in the early posts in this thread that tts is the way to go and sizing down will bust your nuts, so im sure it was just miscalculated by him... the sz 30 ih/imp are practically the same (aside from the rise), only difference is the imp are unsanforized so shrinking would need to be accounted for, thats why i was asking for post soak measurements. maybe the 31 is the way to go for me then.

shit. I meant 32, that could have been catastrophic! It depends on how you sized with the 301s though. i have a ~35" waist, 301s stretch ~2 (so 33") and I would want them on the tighter side (less hip flare) so I would buy a tagged 32 (32.5"). thing is with the 14, the waist and thighs will stretch back out to pre-soak in a heartbeat. i recommend buying tts at pre-soak (as long as your calves can handle it). i have a 35" waist, bought the 34 (measured 35" pre-soak), it shrunk to 33.75" with a hot soak and now sits at 35" again. with a hot soak, you are looking at shrinking 0.3" in all other measurements (rise, thigh, knee, lo).

First pair of denims, must admit great pair of jeans! So I've been wearing these for month and a half now, and I'm running into some trouble. I was fat, well not fat but chubbier than I am now month and a half ago. And when I purchased these imperials at Selfedge I had to get a sz. 32 waist. Now that I lost 15 pounds, the waist is bigger than they should be, and it looks kind of weird when I wear it. WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? =/

I hemmed off 4 inches, and got it tapered at a local tailoring store, turned out pretty good.

They were never soaked or washed, let me know how I'm doing!

since they were never soaked or washed, you could give them a hot soak right now to shrink them a bit (which you probably should have done at the beginning since they are unsanforized)

beware though, they should shrink lengthwise too, although it looks like you've got enough stacking so that they will be long enough even after shrinkage

I'd cold soak for 20 minutes, not hot soak. A hot soak (for 45 minutes) would lose approximately 1" in waist, 3" in inseam length and 0.3" everywhere else. A cold soak would probably shrink 0.5" waist, 1.5" - 2" in inseam length and 0.1" - 0.2" everywhere else. Not sure why you never soaked these to begin with...
