Fit pics. Definitely a bit more tapered than I'm used to but I don't think they look bad?

From all the fit pics everyones posted, they look much tapered than I had pictured in my head which is awesome haha. 

 

[goodrain]

might look better with sneakers

[Broark]

Yeah they do, first day wearing them with boots actually.

[Bobbo]

Looks more tapered on you but I still think it looks good @Broark. Maybe even better with just a tiny turn up?

[Broark]

Thanks! I’ve been fiddling around with the cuffs, will probably make them a little smaller once the denim settles a little bit. I’ve even thought about no cuff and stacking them for a change.

[tigerstrom]

They look great! @Broark

[maharu]

The top button did button! I'm Actually really enjoying the fit. Will try to take some proper fit pics later! 

[Bobbo]

^ Great success! They stretch a lot so it should turn out great.

After driving the whole day with my jeans in his truck, the delivery guy thought it would be nice to take them back to the sorting station. So now the estimated delivery day is tomorrow... 

Hopefully he really brings them to the 24h post station this time.

[JohnM]

^ sorry to hear this b_F.  We all look forward to hearing more about the jeans when they make it to you.

Thankfully, research has shown that extra time in the delivery truck enhances vintage appeal through fade acceleration, though your mileage may vary ... ;-)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks John! 

The eagle has landed. Picked them up from these convenient "DHL Packstation". Now fingers crossed they fit!

 

[tigerstrom]

Looking forward to see them @beautiful_FrEaK

[Thanks_M8]

Mine also came today! Super stoked to wear them. They'll probably fit great once they're washed.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

And they fit! I'm really glad. Still room for some shrinkage. Quick and dirty pre soak fit pics. 

 

Probably won't soak them before tomorrow because I'm still busy doing stuff

[Maynard Friedman]

Look like they’ll fit well b_F, although your Birks look a bit big!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Damn! Do you think they will shrink down if I put them in the dryer?!

[jegr]

I shrunk mine up with a hot soak and then a warm machine wash and here are the pre and post wash measurements for a size 34.

Waist - 34.5 / 32.5

Front Rise - 12.5 / 12

Back Rise - 16 / 15

Thigh @ crotch - 13.75 / 13

Thigh 1” down - 13.25 / 12.5

Knee 14” down - 9.25 / 8.75

Hem - 8.25 / 7.75

Inseam - 36.75 / 34.5

No fit pics as I already packed them up to get hemmed but they fit great!

[Maynard Friedman]

Give it a go - or stretch your feet. I think it’s best to size down with Birks.

[Babaron]

Hello guys! 

Mine was waiting for me when I got home on thursday! Picked them up on friday and washed them to get some shrinkage out. 

Wore them the first time yesterday and they fit like a glove(in a good way)! Super happy with them.

Going to post some fit pics later on,  seem to have a problem uploading at the moment.

Thanks to @Bobbo, denbimbase and  the Göteborg Manufaktur crew for creating these! 

[Broark]

Little update after a week of wear, creases are setting in nicely.
Had a company boat party this week, the jeans were not worn on the boat. 


After a week of wear the creases are setting in nicely, still trying to figure out the cuff situation.






I think the smaller double cuff works, but I'm trying them out uncuffed this weekend.

[Bobbo]

^ That cuff looks great! 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

First day of wearing the contest jeans. I soaked them first (changed water once during that soak) and then put them in the machine for a quick rinse program. Seeing how rigid this denim is, I tried to avoid any marbling at this stage. Here are the fit pics after wash. A bit blurry, sorry.

They look great b_F -- perfect fit, just like I told you ;-)  Love the shoes too.

P.S.  I told him to get a size 36 and the 35 looks perfect.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks John! Now you can get the other size 36

Gonna answer your mail shortly!

[tigerstrom]

They look so good @beautiful_FrEaK

[tigerstrom]

A couple of days ago we visited Malmö. If someone visits Malmö I can recommend the restaurant Bastard.

 

And some pics after wearing them for a couple of days

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Contest gather speed, eh? Does everybody now got his/her pair?

[Babaron]

Have been trying to upload pictures for two days now but I just get a ”failed” message. Someone got any solution?
