no! the 21oz doesnt stretch that much thats why i tell people to size up on these they keep on shrinking every wash

[jim_n]

ouch for my testicles then.. .should I keep them? what do you guys think?

[Satya]

jim_n

is it my eyes that your 5000 looks that taper?

[enojy]

You could try wearing them a little lower on the hips, but otherwise, that is honestly not a good (nor flattering) fit. Not saying to wear your pants on the ground, but maybe pull them down a touch. If that doesn't work, sell them.

[chantheman]

looks like the rise isnt for you. looks bunched

[coupon]

it looks like a good size, just pull them down a bit...

[Satya]

to be honest, that fit's not doing anything, his hips looks toooo wide, that's why the fit from knee to leg opening looks taper IMO

[jim_n]

which cut do you guys think would suit me better? I'll go throw them back on trying them a bit lower I guess....

[chantheman]

maybe a 510 cut would better. looks like you have bigger thighs based on the picture but it could be the angle.

satyas right they do looked tapered and if thats the 5000 cut it should be straight

[jim_n]

my friend says they dont look bad in person so i dunno, as for the cut it says 5000vx on a little tag inside so yeah... they are also pretty damn stiff, like wearing cardboard on my legs or something lol

[chantheman]

that does look better. i was referring to the 510 cut as an alternative if you were looking for something else other than the 5000

[jim_n]

cool thanks, maybe ill try the 510 next time.still debating if I should sell or ride these ones out....my waist is getting sliced when Im sitting down

[chantheman]

looks like your having a rise issue and not so much a waist issue

a lot of people tend to only focus on the waist stretching and fit but neglect the rise and that can be the killer

[Satya]

that looks much better now, maybe you took it in a certain angle that makes them looks awkward, agreed with chatheman, rise actually is the thing that you have to concern, in 21 oz it does kill your balls, nice fit though

[jim_n]

new rule for me, dont let girl friend take fit pics, and inspect pics closer next time lol

ill never get what i paid for them anyways may aswell beat the hell out of them

[Pi-tol]

second that, different cut though

[carol.com]

does 2nd still sell them with arcs and tabs?

[Satya]

www.e2nd.net, doing a little bit research before throwing a question won't hurt..

[Dchill]

why do that satya?.....that would take waaaaay too much effort.

[Satya]

Dchill

really? okay then, they still sell pairs with the old tab and arc carol.com

presumably BiG wouldn't be able to sell these either, due to some stupid shit about a tab sewn between two pieces of fabric or whatever the fuck else levi's are bitching about

[grand_theft_auto]

Stretched out? Were they 32 at the waist originally? (Or 34, and you soaked, they shrunk, but you put on wet to expand them back to 34?) I thought Sams were supposed to shrink, not stretch... Replies above said I should go with a 35 or 36 if I wanted a 34 waist.

I know they could be different Lots and that would change their original waist size, but even then I thought they'd all shrink a bit -- not expand. I thought I might order today and now I'm not sure what to do again.

Thanks.

bit late replying..doh! yes were about 33.5" pre-soak then shrank to like a 31" lol! freaked out for about 30 seconds then wore em damp till they resolved to a nice fit by the time they were dry

[jaspar]

Anyone have w/ expertise on sizing the S526xxII. From what I've read, it seems not many people have them. Edmond? I don't want anything too tight, but the fit is already fuller than the 5000 fit, no? I'm erring toward TTS, which for me would be a 31.

I sized up one on my S0500xx, because I wanted a looser waist, especially since that RHT Texas cotton keeps shrinking, but they're maybe just slightly looser even than I wanted. I'd never size down on any Sam fit; maybe 3000vx excepted, but I'm torn between the 31 + 32 on the 526, because it seems to run small...
