      So I've been wearing these about three times a week since the beginning of the year, enough time to eliminate most of the weird stiffness. They opened up a raw spot in the small of my back at first, but didn't cause much discomfort otherwise. I was cuffing them, but stopped after I noticed a hole opening up after not even wearing them that many times. It's interesting to note that the length on these is 38.5", an inch longer than they're "supposed" to be.

      These are 38s and I'd sort of suspected that I went a size too large. Seeing the pics doesn't do much to dissuade that notion. Size 36s are usually too small for me, so I'm used to buying a 38 and belting it a bit. Now it seems like the true 37" of the size 36 might have stretched out to the ideal measurement. As you can see in the rear picture, there's a bit of slack in the waistband and the legs don't look as slim as I would have liked. Any opinions?

        I think you could get away with sizing down, but be prepared for even more pain if you do go that route…..

          The thigh area looks a little loose. Maybe that's fine to others but I prefer the jeans to have just a little slack on the thighs. 🙂

            Without a doubt u could have gotten away with a size down but then again that depends on the fit u were going for.  I mean we all have jeans in our lineup that have different fits to match the look or style we are going for.  I wear a baggier jean with looser tops and a slimmer jean with slimmer tops.  That fit reminds me of how my 7 for all mankind jeans fit.  What were u looking for..slim or relaxed?

                      No major changes since the last wash. They're just greasy from working on my car in the apartment complex parking lot. I'm expecting my first patch job here within the next month or so.

                          I promise I'll take some pics in the sun on Saturday (cause they look much better worn), but what the hey… And yes: my "office/ stockroom" used to be a children's room, hence the lovely wallpaper... Can't be arsed to redo it, plus I think it's cute...  ::)

                              Fit pics are very good, but these look like one pair of 634 25oz Straight Cut, not a Super Slim. You can size down for sure, W36 with not regrets. But remember that 666-XHS are the hardest of all to wear.
                              Unless they did the 555 XHS (if ever exist)

                                          Yup, and hitch them up as well. The way you are wearing them makes your legs look really short, to be honest.

                                            Money fit & STacks are siiick…I think its also that his stacks are jacked up above the boot which also shortens the leg
