@rabbit999:

…but I find the 666 25 oz cut too low.

Wut?..

[xtcclassic]

If your 34's are too loose, I'd go with the 33's. They will stretch if they need to.

[rabbit999]

Woops sorry for being unclear, I'm mean the front rise on the 666 is too low for my liking.
e,g,  666 25 oz - waist 33" front rise 10.5"
        634 25 oz - waist 33" front rise 11.3"
So what's been peoples experience?, did the 25 oz or the 21 oz stretch more? or were they the same?

[KrisB]

i got my 32" to stretch to a 34"

[rabbit999]

Wow how long did it take you? were you wearing them everyday?

[KrisB]

Yeah, I wear them everyday. But, I skate in them and that puts in constant pressure on the denim.

[rabbit999]

I'm about size 33.5 waist, and I'm trying to choose between getting a waist 32 or 33. In other jeans I have 32 waist feels too tight but I'm thinking long term stretching, would you recommend a size 32 or 33? Do they shrink back when washed?

[Giles]

You'll get a 32 to 33.5 eventually, but they will be bloody uncomfortable to start with.  The shrink back a little with a wash, but stretch right back out again….

[rabbit999]

hmm, don't know if I'm up for months of uncomfortable wear, other times I've had jeans in 32 I rarely do up the top bottom cuz it gives me a belly ache! I just don't wanna buy a 33 or 34 waist pair and have a 35 or 36 pair in 2 years time! but the jeans will only stretch to my true waist size yes/no? I see you Giles wear a 33 waist in the xhs and they look a great fit. what's your true waist size?

[Giles]

33

[rabbit999]

does the 33 of the 634 xhs feel the same as the 33 in 634s as far as fit goes? That is to say, do the slight measurement differences feel much different? I see you say your xhs's have stretched 2 inches, do they feel baggy now?

[Giles]

They feel different, but I put that down to the very different denim rather than slight variations in the cut….

[rabbit999]

that's helpful, so after stretching 2 inches, do the xhs's feel baggy?

[KrisB]

Well, I haven't washed them, but even after 7 months they form to my legs like second skin. I wouldn't consider it to be baggy, but deffinatly looser than brand new.

[rabbit999]

wow so KrisB what actually waist size are you and what size did you get in the 25oz?

[rabbit999]

woops just saw you got a 32. is that your true waist size?

[KrisB]

My true size is 32, I generally stay true to size with any Jean I buy.

[rabbit999]

gotcha thanks heaps

A little, but honestly, the most confortable pair of jeans I have ever worn….
