@llvlaglne: great pics and nice evo. thanks for posting!

 

@blacktocomm: too bad. maybe the 400T in the same size? gives you a lot more roomn in the thighs

[ThinFinn]

^ seriously though, a size down would have been a dream i think!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Seriously though, the whole leg and especially upper leg area look perfect now. No need to change anything there. Waist might run a bit big though.

[whackedout]

Alright f-it I'm in, I'll put in my order on payday, which is the 27th. Hope I won't be too late. Now I need to pick a size, 33 or 34...decisions....decisions.... one question though, the sizing chart that UES has up is it pre-soak or post-soak. Been going back and forth on all of your posts on measurements and it seems like their chart is going straight towards post soak. 

 

edit: I re-read it and the measurements they have up was for one wash.

That's what I am thinking, I have much thicker thighs than most people, and I must have mis-measured when I measured my other jeans for size reference.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That really sucks. I also have bigger thtighs and the 400S in size 34 would have been on the edge in the thigh area. Kepp in mind, it’s a “slim straight†cut with an emphasis of “slimâ€. Build for Japanese/Asian dudes.

 

@llvlaglne: is that your 1 months update?!

[llvlaglne]

Yes it is sir

[volvo240thebest]

Hi all!

I finally took delivery of my pair, after a long wait at the customs and a big strike in Italy that stopped for a while the cities. Haven't seen the jeans though, as I've been on the road for work for a week and won't be back home til Xmas eve.

Big update when I come back!

[Max Power]

I hate looking at this thread. We haven't even reclaimed the value of the lost jeans, which means I'll have to wait until the new year to get a refund (looking at my previous DHL experience it may also take some months).

 

But, while I'm here: Has anybody measurements for the 400t with some wear & stretch? Finns statement had me confused and I still have time to change my mind.

I'm just on the way to drive through whole Germany, 800 km (I guess our 'mericans have to giggle about that ). I'll measure my pair for you when I'm back home

Thank you, Have a nice journey and nice time at home!

Back home for Christmas and here are the measurements for you

 

 

waist: 35,5" (worn with belt)

fr: 11"

br: 16"

thigh: 13,25"

knee: 9,2"

leg opening: 7,95"

inseam: 33,375" (damn I had that stretched out to nearly 34" before...)

 

 

edit: and I took the opportunity to iron the selvage line as it was crumpled as fuck

Got a small but welcome christmas bonus from work and I'm considering joining this (if it's not too late?), especially since I'm currently too fat for my HWDC2 jeans. I like the 400Z the most, as it differs a lot from jeans I already own, but I'm a bit confused about some of the measurements.

 

The Tuckshop blog has these pre- and post-machine wash measurements for a tagged 32: 

 

Waist: 31 --> 30

Inseam: 35 --> 33.5

Front rise: 12.5 --> 12
Back rise: 14.5 --> 14

Thigh: 12.75 --> 12.5

Knee: 10 --> 9.25

Hem: 9.75 --> 9.25

 

And yet, the UES webshop and the item listing in the Tuckshop lists the post-wash front rise measurement for a size 32 at 26 cm or 10.25", and the waist at 81 cm or 31.9". Can anyone here confirm which one it is, perhaps Obbigood? Thanks!

Oh, and you are all looking very good!

 

Edit: I searched the UES thread, which I probably should have done to begin with - sorry, and learned that 3 cm should be added to their rise measurement. All good then, but a comment on waist size from someone who owns the jeans would still be nice. Merry christmas!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I know nothing and haven't checked either, but also take a look at how both shops measure! UES meausers the inner circumfence of the waist and I think that Tuckshop measures the waist by lying the jeans flat on the ground, align the waistband and double the result. Keep that in mind!

Let's get this back on track (pun intended)

 

 

 

 

Took the UES to a little after-dinner walk with the family through our local marshland

 

 

 

[Somar]

In Berlin now. Damn this city ROCKS!!! Going to DC4 tomorrow .

I hope my UES pair will be at the post office when I'm back home.

[Max Power]

Enjoy your stay! Great pictures, b_f. Sounds like 34 is perfect for me.

[volvo240thebest]

I'm finally back to Italy, I'll be home in a few hrs. Can't wait to try on the jeans. I lost three kilos in the last 3 weeks and seen BF latest measurements I could have gone with a w34! Oh well, I'll work hard on my festive eating and vino drinking habits in the next weeks!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Merry Christmas everybody

[Somar]

Merry christmas to you and everybody else too!

Oh and Tillman, Daniel of DC4 says Hi!

presoak fit

 

 

thigh looks gigantic on me but hopefully it'll be good after the soak. I did a 60 min soak at 60°C and I am into the washing machine part ATM... more photos soon!!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Doesn't look that big to me. I think it will be a great fit when shrunken! 

[geL-]

I second that. And i wish you all a merry christmas.

[Davil]

UES 400Z is what I will be picking up.  Anyone got pics?  Also, merry christmas peeps!

[frank]

There should be a couple of pics in the thread. I think Obbigood has them.

[.5amazing]

Here is my fit post soak from a few days ago. 400T sz34. I'm in a completely different part of the world today with meters of snow around so I'll try to take new pics.

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Peter? Nice fit there!

Maybe I missed it or you never raised your voice. The former is more likely.

Welcome on board! And we might also be able to say "Hello" to LC_Miey
