sorry for one of "these" posts... but i'm interested in picking up a pair of 809's from supermarket but couldn't find any information on these at all via google. i did a fair amount of backtracking through the thread but couldn't find anything.

anyone familiar with these? same denim as the 811 cut yes? and, although the measurements check out, would sizing down one (one wash) be a bad idea? for reference, they are a 30 O/W but the waist measures 31" and are unstretched. my waist is 31", and 32" where i wear my jeans.

Does anyone here own 872's? I'm on the fence on picking up a pair.

At the store near me, they have 30's and 34's in stock. The 30's were way too tight (could not get the top button closed) and the 34's felt huge. I'm wondering how these pants are sized compared to their well-known 811's.

heh ^

found it funny that you tried on both size, maybe a little out of desperation.

I thought I would be able to squeeze into the 30's and I also took the 34's to the changing room for the hell of it.

The size 32 53220's have a solid fit but they will stretch out a bit over time I suppose.

here sth on sizing by gordon:

Hi Arne,

The 811's run true to size up until around size 32 and then they begin to

measure the same as the tag size pre-wash and shrink down an inch below tag

size. For a 36" waist you're correct in that a size 38 would be the right

choice as long as by sizing up, the thigh and leg measurements do not seem

bigger than what you'd prefer. This sizing is the same for all of the 811's,

the only difference with these we carry is an extended inseam length and the

option of having them raw as they're usually only sold as one-washed.

Regards,

Gordon
