Interest check: Denimbridge contest

[beautiful_FrEaK]

In the event a pair doesn't fit when it arrives, are there some spare sizes with which we can exchange?!

[d-rew12]

How many pairs are heading to the shop? Interested again and kind of tempted to grab a pair that isn't accounted for 

[JohnM]

Two pairs delivered today.  Beautiful jeans -- nicely sewn, substantial, and a nice grayish color.  The 35 is likely to be too small in the waist for me, but the 36 should be perfect.

Below are raw measurements, BIG style.  I'm guessing the slightly under tag size waist measurement on my 35 is due to button placement (it's a little farther from the edge than on the 36).  So mine are essentially starting out at tag size in the waist, with shrinkage and stretch from there.

Size            35 / 36

Waist      34.75 / 36.0"

FR         12.5 / 13.0"

BR          16.25 / 16.375"

Thigh      13.75 / 14.0"

Knee        9.5 / 9.75"

LO            8.25 / 8.675"

Inseam     36.25 / 36.5"

There are a few, but not many. 

@d-rew12 Shoot the boys at the store a message. I'm sure they can help you out.

The measurements on both pairs look nice @JohnM I ordered 35 and I'm a bit afraid that they might be a bit small in the waist. But time will tell

[maharu]

I look forward to see the post wash measurements! Time will tell if I have to keep the top button unbuttoned 

[Bobbo]

Hi guys. Just measured my 35s (BiG-style) that's been through a 40 degree machine wash and worn for a couple of days:

Waist: 36"

Front rise: 12,2"

Back rise: 15,4"

Thigh: 13,2"

Inseam: 34,6"

Hem: 7,8"

Thanks @Bobbo Now I'm happy again Those measurements look good!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Me too! Can even live with a smaller waist than yours

[JohnM]

That 36” waist on a size 35 is encouraging Bobbo.  Looking back in the thread, I see your post-wash waist measurement was only 42cm or 33”, so they’ve stretched out a full 3” with wear.  Overall, it looks like these shrink a lot, but then stretch back a lot. Given how much stretch that is, let me know if that all makes sense and you agree!

[Bobbo]

Definitely agree @JohnM They were snug after the wash and now they're comfy!

The Eagle has landed.  Are we going to start an official contest thread? I'll hold off on the photo dump until then.

[srudy]

Another eagle has landed here too!  Got them on and loving all the details.

Mine also showed up! Tracking originally said Sunday but they showed up today!

[d-rew12]

@Broark I can't quite tell but did you get a 38? I am very interested to see what your raw and washed measurements are 

And thanks @BobboI shot them a message. The jeans look great!

[Bobbo]

Made a new thread now that we're ready to roll! 

 

[MJF9]

Looking forward to watching this contest!

Initial fit pics anyone?

[Broark]

@d-rew12 I did get a 38, but unfortunately I washed them before taking any measurements.
Happy to provide some post wash measurements though!
