I'm going back and forth on going no cuffs. 

31 seems to be a good length for my 517s ( pretty much same hem opening) for No break with pecos and engineer boots. Its just a so final - compared with getting cuffs. 

who else is going no cuffs? @ecsong187 and who else?

You can count me in on the #TeamNoCuffs - just doens't fly with me these days

I’m in it to win it :) Hopefully I can provide competition to you guys. I can from /r/rawdenim but can honestly say I enjoy the variety of denim here, although it’s a bit dangerous for my wallet. 
 

I had asked Ryo about sizing, and he said that the contest denim stretches more than the 50’s. Accounting for that I asked if I can switch my order to a 34 instead of a 36, as I’m worried that the 36 will get too big for me. I’m also planning on losing this quarantine weight, which will make the 34 much better for me.

I also announce my participation in the contest.
However, I am worried about the size to enjoy.

Yes! Winner of 20s contest checking in. The contest is getting harder and harder :D

I’m in as a representative of the US rust belt.

I’m a natural 33.
From all of the posts I read and Volvo’s info, I went with a 33 one wash. 

Huge thanks to Volvo for confirming that a paper patch is an available option.

great! Another OG tuning in!
just to make it clear to everybody, if for any ethical or other reason you don't like to have a leather patch on the jeans, Tcb can slap the standard 50s two cats paper patch, not the specific contest design printed on paper.

haha I sign off for half a day and missed all the call outs:

-Confirming I went with a 26" inseam...I wear my jeans loose and low but still do a small single/double cuff to the ankle (I'm 5'9" for reference). I'll try to get more fit pics in this time around but have a poor history doing so lol

-WHxBiGxSuFu 660 contest had 215 contestants across 20 countries. Of note, Jay Z bought a pair (this is a real thing, he was big into raw denim in the mid 00's, few pics floating around with him wearing Samurai on stage etc.) @beautiful_FrEaK

- @volvo240thebest, I can't knock that insult against me, funniest thing I've read in a while! :laugh2::tongue: Do note that I've also taken up cycling and gardening as well though during quarantine lol :ph34r:

Can't wait till August

Went with a 34'' waist, hopefully I sized correctly.

Wow this is shaping up to be quite the contest!

Great to see the growing global entrants list 

Still contemplating – chart reading, measuring my jeans, cross-checking, seeking counsel and repeat…

For my dimensions, the thigh is the critical - and constraining - measurement

Got til the 30th to conclude…

For a comfortable 34W (I could just fit a 33), the WW2 rise is great but the thigh would be skin tight

To get thigh to fit, would need to size up to 36, giving a slim-ish thigh, with 5–7 cm extra on the waist, also potential for stretch on top.  38W wouldn’t work.

For comparison, my TCB 20s 34W have a 34 thigh, the WW2s 36W have a 33.8 thigh

This WW2 thigh sizing seems similar across brands – CSF hip / thigh slim, FW 1943 has a slim thigh
