I can't wait to start wearing mine again! Got another week and a half of the IH666SII world tour before I can put them back on.

Thought I'd add to the myriad of other fit stories, hopefully help someone out in the process. I am a true 31 waist and have both a 30 and 32 in this model.
-
32 fits great in the waist and I can easily pull about 1.5" away from my body. Tight through the crotchal region, everywhere else is fine.
-
30 fits tight in the waist. Could get all buttons done with some effort. REALLY narrow through the crotchal region and pretty tight along the thighs.
I decided to wear the 30s and see if they stretched. They do. I got an 1" in the waist and .5 in the thighs after 3 days of typical wear. They haven't stretched through the hips yet but I am hoping they will give at some point, or might not be having children in the future.
After a bit of wear in both sizes, if I had to choose one it would be the 30. Over time, I believe these will relax to a 31 while still retaining decent taper through the thighs and lower legs. But you pay a pain tax to get there. The 32s are perfect now but over time will adopt a more relaxed fit. Again, this is just for my body type.
Happy Holidays!

@ksozay I think you're spot on here if you aren't looking for a relaxed fit. I also own 30's in these. Brand new I had a bit of room in the waist and the top block was pretty tight. After 2-3 weeks of regular wear they really ease up and any hot spots that were present when brand new were totally gone. This denim, to me, gives in just the right amount without totally losing it's composure. Definitely a jean that the more you wear them the less you want to take them off.

Seconded. After 3 days of wear.

@BloodnThunder excellent point! Just getting ready for work this morning and went to get dressed and without thinking, just grabbed the 30s and put them on.
I do hope that one day, the folks at Iron Heart realize they make more than just denim. For people like me, they make family members you wear.

Fanboy day.

Where the hell is @Seul lately? I'd love to see an update from him, his pair is one of the best on the forum. Someone needs to kidnap him from the beer thread.

Ya know…. im hesitant to post, as how many dozens/hundreds of these have been worn and retired. at the same time, im excited in that these are my first set of beauxtique (cajun for boutique) dungarees and only ones within the circles i travel. so i ask, weekly or monthly pics cool or keep em to myself?
another question is... because i've never worn cuffs in anything but dress/suit slacks... should i have em hemmed? i wear IR's and cowboy boots primarily but also flip flops and keen sandles - coupled with me being a husky dude, if that makes a difference. thanks in advance for your feedback.
