IH-301S

No, don't size up demi…Mine are a 33 waist and now they're a 34 1/2, that's how much they stretched!

I just got my 301-S from self edge, the guy there said it will stretch but for now it feels tight around the waist. Should i size up one more? I got a 29 and im 29-30 in APC New Cure, 29 in Petite Standards and 30 in Nudies Thin Finn.
First, welcome. No, do not size up. The waist will stretch out. The "guy" at SE is right. He does this all day every day. And by no means am I a skin tight jeans guy. Just my opinion on the help you received from SE. Now if you were at tate & yoko, who knows. They may have to call SE. (That was a joke)

after going through like every page of this thread, styleforum, HB, and the SUFU forums
i still cant figure out if i should go TTS on the 301s or size one downwhen i went to selfedge a couple days ago, i tried on some size 33 301s and fell in love
they fit perfectly, a little bit on the tight side, very snug but definitely comfortable
wasn't much of a struggle to put them on
talked to the assistant there and he agreed that this was definitely the right fithere are some pictures from SUFU that i feel most represent how the fit looked on me
I do prefer to sag a little bit, but i dont want pants that are literally falling off of me without a belt
i really like the fit of the jeans in the images i posted above(though id definitely hem a few inches off),
and i would like them to stay similar to that if possible
what do you guys think?
should i stay 33 (TTS, would look like images above) or size one down to 32
tbh im not sure if i can squeeze into 32 , i cant fathom how painful it must be, but if it must be done
i will put forth the efforti am actually new to this whole selvedge business, please excuse my ignorance!
please, only respond if you have a pair of 301s, i wouldnt want any skewed opinions
my main concern right now is that they will stretch too much -
which would match the picture i posted above more?
sizing down 1 or going TTSi dont want a skin tight fit, but definitely something form fitting
sorry for all the questions, its a lot of money to me since i am a college student
really want to get this right on the first tryalready i have 2 differing opinions : /

shinjin, welcome and nice choice on the 301s
but with regard to sizing, you gotta choose yourself
there is no advice anyone is gonna give you based on your questions and picture of someone else wearing the jean that is going to be better than going in to self edge and trying on the jean and taking the advice of the knowledgeable folks there (which you've already done, right?)good luck, and once you get them, come back and post some pics

its just best to measure you best fitting jeans….. compare with the 301 chart.... add to cart.... wish for the best. yea you can take in to account stretch and all that.... but if they do stretch..... wear a belt. for me i like to have more room in my pair so i can develop more whiskers. even though iron heart does use zimbabwe cotton..... iron heart jeans are some pretty tough stuff.
