Cheers Tarby.  I got lucky with a size 36 in these which give me plenty of room.  I had a trawl recently on Yahoo auctions - there were a pair of M41300 in 36 on recently but not sure they'll meet your spec. Happy hunting pal.

@Jimmy Tarbuck, what size are they? Ive been after a pair of those in 33 or 34.

Never mind—found the listing & they look great but I think I'm gonna keep holding out for a less worn pair. Great deal, in any case, for whoever snatches them up!

Look great mate. I just sold mine, they were always a bit too tight in the waist and never really got worn.

My 41028s are on eBay too. Beautiful jeans but i need a 36 in a higher rise cut.

On the plus side, can spend some time trawling yahoo for more old sugarcane that actually fit me!

Can I get thigh and rise measurements on these? I see the listing. Thanks!

Here's a few old fitpics, these are all my regular size 32" but as i mentioned previously they do shrink from tag so they're a little snug, most apparent on the (no patch) model where you can see the denim pulling across the top block/hip.

M41030

 

M41001 (no patch)

M41001 (Laurel)

 

M41001 (cloth patch)

 

...and a more recent M41030 with a cuff...i do have other sweatshirts although it does show how nicely the RMC navy materil ages.

[Jimmy Tarbuck]

@Double 0 Soul that’s exactly what I had happen on my m41001 (no patch). The top block was just a bit too trim for me (and I have no arse chicken legs).  Mine were a 35, I got them back to a 34 but that was it for any give in the waist.

Lockdown has got me embracing the loose fit of my old (mainly lvc) size 36s around the house and for long dog walks in the sun to get out the house!

[Double 0 Soul]

In that case Tarb's, you did the right thing, 25yr old cotton thread can become a bit delicate if it hasn't been put under strain for many years...

This was the last time those old laurel button M41001's were seen alive...

 

...moments later while making my escape/climbing out of a window of this abandoned rolling mill.. disaster struck

 

I had to walk all the way back to work with my arse showing i always harvest the red tab, buttons ect so if anyone needs spares you know where i am.

Ffs! i'm wearing the same damn sweatshirt^

[Double 0 Soul]

...a bit more nerding out, notice the angled back loop of this patchless M41001

 

Not the case with this version

[Double 0 Soul]

...and while i'm at it

This denim looks incredible at this satge of wear

[julian-wolf]

@Double 0 Soul, yeah, it does. I don't have anything else that looks similar. Even though I've been washing them pretty regularly, it has a sorta oily look to it, similar to the jeans folks'll post now and then that have been worn hard and never washed for years. The streakiness is just starting to come out, and from what I've seen of other pairs I think it should become pretty strong, so I'm looking forward to that—likewise to more puckering / wrinkling around the seams, which has only started to really show up in the last couple of washes.

Those back pockets look really big. I dig it 

[julian-wolf]

Where's your waist sitting these days, Edwin? Having just tried these on, I'm worried they might end up being too small on me—they're right up my alley, and I really want to try and make them work, but if someone else who would appreciate them was better suited to fit into them as-is, I'd be willing to talk.

edit: Never mind, I've gotta stick with these. They seem sanforized, so I'm not too worried about shrinking, and the fit's really great everywhere besides the waist.

INFERNO BASIC sounds like an album I must listen to lol

Digging the 2 selvage ID.

[JDelage]

Those are very cool.

[Double 0 Soul]

Really nice, the back pocket shape is just lovely.. if you don't think they're going to work out, i would just add them to the collection with a thought towards using them for trade in the future, you're not going to loose anything on those.

@julian-wolf I’m a 33-34 waist these days. 
enjoy them bro! 

[Thanks_M8]

Bumping this thread.

Should have started wearing these right when i got them. The denim is insane!

Ultra low-effort update on the M41058 to keep the thread going…

The lap creases on these are shaped weird as hell, different from any of my other jeans—not sure what the story is there but I'm kinda into it

[Graytrain]

Thanks for the bump @julian-wolf. This thread has me searching for an M series '37 pair that I didn't know I needed. 

[julian-wolf]

What size are you? There's an good-condition pair of M41030 up on Mercari in W35…

[Graytrain]

I've never heard of this mercari thing! PM me the link? I am looking for a true 35 inch waist, whatever that works out to so this might be it. @julian-wolf

[Graytrain]

Wait I found it. Am I reading that right? The tagged 35 has a true waist of 28 inches?? 

[julian-wolf]

According to the seller, they have an 88 cm waist, which seems to be in line with what I'd expect based on other Cane's from that period—should translate to around 35", yeah?

[Graytrain]

Oh yes I must have read it wrong. Welp that's a done deal! Thanks Julian! Talk about right timing. 

[julian-wolf]

Glad you found them! I've been watching those for a couple of months now hoping they'd find a good home…

The laurel wreath buttons get me every time

[Graytrain]

Honestly can't believe my luck! From all the vintage sugar cane I have been looking at it seemed like the larger sizes were going to be hard to find. Thanks again Julian. I'm stoked.
