[halberdklown]

hey guywithpants how tall are you? and what size you get?

[原料かば]

GWP

is that how its supposed to look in the thigh area?

[guywithpants]

i got a 29

im about 5'8

um so after i took that pic i realized it made my thighs look really big

but the fit was a bit tight in the thighs pre soak...so when it stretches out it will look fine

but i do have bigger thighs though

as requested

as requested

D-d-dope.

I'm going to attach it to my coin pocket once I get home for spring break.

[aho]

Just thinking of some logistics...are we going to have any official list of contestants? Any check-ins, initial pics, etc? Granted we are still a few weeks away but I need something to keep me going because not wearing these jeans is killing me...

[原料かば]

Just wait for the contest thread.

[cure]

i've decided that i need to get involved in this. im heading up to SF march 25-28, i've gotta get myself a pair.

[laughter95]

how's the crotch room compare to that of the sam 710 and fc 1108? some people are adjusting themselves to the rise, and i want to get some more opinions on this before i pull the trigger.

[beatle]

Gamma just won this contest...at least for the perfect fit....

[Vanquish Gold]

I am the boiling water guy who destroyed my tag, i've done a mock tag in olive canvas... trying to find the correct material for my tag, how it look? (selling off my jeans if i can't find any good tag)

[Charlie Delta]

Wait, so you printed the tag graphic on olive canvas?

Pic is a little small, but looks like a fairly good solution to me...

[Vanquish Gold]

Ya that is what i've did, just a mock tag with unfinished edges and and stuff, will do a proper one once i find the correct durable material

[Charlie Delta]

How'd you print it?

[Vanquish Gold]

How'd you print it?

screenprinted it, i did a fair bit of screenprinting in my free time

[echau]

it'd have to be fairly thick canvas.

are you using plastisol to print the tag?

[enojy]

compared to those two cuts? not a whole lot of room.

[moykky]

I have no experience on screenprinting but can't you do it on leather?

[Seething Tortoise]

I like the olive canvas tag.

Ok, you just redeemed yourself from the whole "trying to cook your jeans" thing.

Seriously, that's very cool. I'd keep it like that, it looks good.

[NoWay77]

Any Thoughts?

Ok, I got my size 33 today. I tried them on and they fit perfectly. Pretty slim in the thigh, not skin tight. I did have some room in the waist. From the knee down, definitely a straight fit like the pic on the self edge web site. I soaked them for 25 minutes from the thigh down and then put the top block in for about 3 minutes.

They shrunk the exact amount Kiya said. 1 inch in the waist, .25 legs, and about 2 inseam. The rise shrunk a tad. I tried them on while they are still wet and they are a now a fit like the bottom post that I quoted. Similar to these also:

Do you guys think this is too slim a fit for these jeans? The problem is that if I size up to a 34, it's the same size thigh. If I go up to a 36, they'll be falling off me and the leg opening will be too big for my taste. I have small feet and the 9" leg opening won't look good. Also, the rise is low and my boxers show a little. I guess that's normal though. I'm guessing if I wear them a bit they'll go back to how they fit pre soak so I shouldn't worry about it. I really wanted a fit like Sidney's on the self edge site. It's close, but just a tad slimmer.

[kiya]

Those are perfect, no need to size up on them.

[NoWay77]

Those are perfect, no need to size up on them.

Cool. Just wanted to make sure that wasn't too slim of a fit for what you were going for here. Even though these are a straight fit, they're supposed to be fairly slimmer than the IH 634S or Flat Head F380, right?

[JohnnyRed]

dude you should go for what YOU'RE going for. Those look fine for sure.

I sized down 2 from my 'true' waist, and I love the fit. I need to get some fit pics up tonight. But they do indeed fit me pretty slim. The cut is very similar to my 21cm diors, just up a size so it's not super tight in the top block

[Turntabloid]

kiya,

the thigh on a 33 and 34 is each 12.0 - is that correct?!

still thinking about buying a 34 and wearing it raw throughout the contest, but 12.0 in the thigh sounds pretty tight to me!

[Vanquish Gold]

it'd have to be fairly thick canvas.

are you using plastisol to print the tag?

I use normal screenprint ink

[ntkt10]

kiya,

Yes, it's correct, at least in the pairs we measured. The difference in the thigh on a jean from one size to the next is normally between only .2" and .4" anyway, not extremely noticeable if the grading was done correctly.

In response to this question.

Kiya, is this correct? I'm seeing it on the selfedge site, but I as well am having a hard time believing the thigh on the 33 is the same size as the 34. Seems like the 34 should be a tad bigger...I hope.

[bustinxjustin]

Just got mine in the mail today. The jeans are beautiful, but they just don't fit me. For reference, I'm 6'0" and 160ish pounds. I have kind of wide hips so I decided to go with a larger size since these have a low rise. The rise was surprisingly comfortable, but it's probably because I had enough room to stick almost both of my hands flat against my body in the waistband.

I think that I should size down to at least a 32, but I'm thinking a 31 might even be better. As you can see I have pretty skinny thighs, so I'm pretty sure that I can fit a 31 in terms of the thigh room if they stretch out a little bit. I'm just a bit worried about how far the waist will stretch.

Any opinions would be appreciated. Kiya, what do you think I should do?

Thanks

[fur]

fit looks great to me,sucks that the waistband is too big,the rest is perfect imo
