^couldnt agree more i sized up to a 40 and shouldn't have. Now everytime I wear them I gave to hot wash otherwise they get way to big in the waist and baggy in the thighs. Love these though.

@Finn666:

no problemo Andi. if you'd be the one wearing them, you really would do the same when it comes too sizing!
they may look a tad snug but they're just too damn comfy for me to return and size up…wore them the whole day today (still wearing'em) and a 36 waist would definitely be too big!
these fit like a dream and will do even more, after a tiny bit of stretching here and there...

go for'em and check yourself!

Ahhh, ok! If it's comfy it should be right for you.;)

It looks fine.  I have done it for a lot of people, but have no photos I am afraid…..

Cheers G, and everyone else who replied. I'm going to go check the sizes then perhaps treat myself!

So you guys are recommending that, if I have a 32" waist and typically wear a size 33 for comfort,  I should size down to a 31?

[Giles]

Not me.  I go for the same size…

if the other measurements are matching and if you´re cool with the 32.1" waist of the tagged 31", why not!?…
though a tagged 32" would be the best bet imo...

[Finn666]

Yeah, a 32 looks much better.

How do you guys feel about the relatively small hem?

[Finn666]

i don´t think that it´s small at all…imo it´s just perfect!
you can wear sneakers, dress shoes or boots with the 816´s and everything looks just right!

[derivative666]

^agreed

[MikeC]

Shoreman, the hem is not that small at all. These pants are a standard straight leg cut with a slight taper below the knee. I always need to hem about 3-4 inches off and it usually takes 0.3-0.4 off of the hem, making it wider.

The 32 will fit perfectly from the getgo… 31 would work if you're a true 32 waist and want a slightly slimmer silhouette...

Gave these a try at TSS today.

Yay or Nay guys?

[Finn666]

why not? looks good to me…

[ronaldlsh]

They are now set aside for me as we speak.

Mine are getting tapered and hemmed. After I hem them to 31in(stack a bit), the hem measures 9.6in. Sorry, just way too big for me. So, I opted to get them tapered.

[Finn666]

^might do the same to mine. at least I'll let them hem and after that we'll see how much the l/o measures…

Urbanwoodsman, who's doing the tapering in Manhattan?  Assuming your having it done there?
