IH-634S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - SBG
-
@spacedans In my experience with SBG, the top block does not move much in comparison to the waist. It has been the biggest issue with my jeans as the waist often still works but thigh/top block gets too tight.
Options are try an alternative cut with more room in the top block a la the 888 or if you anticipate losing weight further, you might be fine in this pair

@spacedans Yea I played that game and lost (relatively speaking). I was counting on the thighs of my 777 SLBod to stretch but they didnt. Had to bring them to a tailor to let them out a bit (i think he managed to get about a half an inch or so extra). They still fit very very skinny, and it wasn't cheap but at least I can now pull them up all the way

@AdamJ This is really helpful to know. I think if I were to lose more weight, I'm not sure how much extra room I would find in the top block (more likely around the waist).
I have a pair of IH-888S-18 (Natural Indigo) in a size 35 and I find they have as much room in the top block (or more) than the Size 36 634S I've been wearing.
Might see if I can exchange for a larger size rather than roll the dice here.
Thanks for the advice!

@tenuin This was definitely my fear! Thanks for sharing. I'm likely going to try for an exchange to avoid this if I can.

@spacedans I sized down in 634 SBG and wish I hadn’t. Waist fits but thighs are too tight. They don’t stretch much. Get you some thigh room.

I sized up one size on my two latest jeans. Instead of having the smallest waist possible i went with the waist i get on my old ones that stretched out.
Thought i wanted 888 cut for bigger top block, but 634 in slightly larger size is the only cut i buy in the future.
