so guys, what do you suggest i do when I get my hands on a pair of these? there seems to be a debate on soaking and what not but from what I read there seems to be not much of an outcome. So should I soak them before hemming?

I'd atleast wear'em a few days/weeks before hemming, after the creases are set you then can go for a hem job without a peoblem! soak isn't necessary imo!…

hey g
just wondering why there is such a drastic jump in some of the measurements between the 36 and 38?
ie hem and knee
most sizes go up by like .2 or .3 at a time and then the 36 to 38 is almost a full inch jump?

^^ I've been thinking about that too.

May be just the pairs we measured, we'll take another look today….

@Finn666:

how comfy/stretchy are these while wearing?…

Comfy: outta this world
Stretchy: buy some leggings if you want stretchy

[Finn666]

you bastard just asked for "stretchy" since I really don't want a busted crotch on a pair of ducks matey…wouldn't look that great I guess! would cop a 36 if at all, though I fear that the low rise on these might lead to some problems with the stitchings in the crotch area after some wear (same as happened on my 666Sod!)...nothing less!

Duck (which is canvas) is not as inherently stretchy as denim.  Canvas is used for ships sails exactly because of its low stretch, which means they keep their shape…

If they were a low rise pair of pants I wouldn't like 'm… They have a high rise...

I'll reiterate my post. These don't really stretch. I feel like the fabric and constructional stitching settle down and that's where the 0.25in came from in the thigh of my pair. The waist has also settled out to about 35.25. As for all this soaking nonsense, don't do it, just wear them until they need a wash, then carefully wash.

Me and Mrs P are laughing tears….
