            Thanks Gav. I think I need a larger cuff but we'll see how they turn out after the soak.

              lol.. I forgot what I bitch this denim is.  I dropped them in the tub before I ran water in it and they scraped blue on the sides like a crayon.  We'll have to see how well my decision to go with the full 37.5 inseam (i'm happy with 32 or 33) turns out 😉

                  Brooks, cuff is good, just give them 20 - 25 wears to settle and you'll be golden for combs-mageddon!!!!!

                      Size 36 Rafa, I'm hoping that the combs will each .5-1 inch and that should be golden

                        thanks mate! they look pretty good imo…I also ordered and received a 36" waist!
                        somehow it's always interesting to see how the same item in the same size fits a different person...mine aren't that "loose" 🙂

                          I didn't even realize these didn't have the standard W/arcs.. That was a good surprise.  Was that part of the spec the entire time or did it evolve over time?  I don't remember reading about it when I bought them.

                            My legs are slimmer than my waist would suggest. Alot of my weight is centered around my gut. My legs could easily fit into a 34 but not my waist

                              iirc it was specked from the get go! well actually black W and arcs but these are even better imo!

                              that's what I thought, for me it's almost the other way around…soccer and gym thighs require a bigger size as the waist would need, so here I am, in my w36 🙂

                                  Quick question, (and yes, I've read through the thread already), but is a soak actually necessary?
                                  I know these are sanforised, and I know that due to deadlines they missed out on the normal 1st wash before leaving Japan, but is there a purpose for this wash besides removing any residue from the sanforising process? For raw, unsanforised denim the first soak is to bed on the construction/stitching, just wondered if that aspect also applies here?

                                  Regardless, I'm loving the fit on these MBB's….....fresh denim is just ridiculously tactile 🙂 🙂

                                    Quick answer, if you want your denim to last 2 years, yes

                                      Same issue here.  First look at the 34" and the 36" measurement columns then straight to the thigh measurement. Anything less than 13" is going to be tight.

                                        Based on my experience with the 666XHS, I'd say the soak is completely optional. You'll get some shrinkage but not a whole lot.

                                        Perhaps the main advantage is the denim will be a bit kinder to your delicate areas. It may also last longer if you're one of those crotch-ripping types.

                                        As for me, I like to punish my balls, so I didn't soak.

                                          Thanks for the responses guys, looks like I'll try soaking them tomorrow - I really don't need any shrinkage, so it will be a warm soak at best. Any advice as to how long I should soak them for?

                                            As a general rule, If I'm trying to shrink them I go as hot as possible from the tap and soak until the water is cold

                                            On these, I soaked mine in cold since I didn't want them to shrink and just did it for an hour then pulled them out to hang
