[beautiful_FrEaK]

those are a size 34 now, right?

[Finn666]

^yes!…a tiny bit more room at the thigh and crotch area would be golden!
but let´s wait and see what the next 2-3months will bring...it´s time for some cardio and more time at the gym now

Are yours still unsoaked/unwashed, Rafa?

Cool.  I'm still toying with the idea of soaking mine, try and soften the denim a bit.  I love them, but they can bite around the thighs after a full day's wear.  Slightly concerned about shrinkage in that area though - not sure I can afford any less room

Great fit, by the way

[Finn666]

keep´em raw mate…you´ll get used to the feeling. also the 21oz denim does stretch like crazy so don´t worry, it´ll losen up in no time!

[Max Power]

I did soak mine. And am glad I did. They turned out a bit softer and I could need the shrinkage in the inseam. The thighs don't shrink anything noticable.

Looks interesting (and uncomfortable!). But it shows, how fast the sbg denim fades. I'm also impressed that you can see the fades of the frontpockets on Finn's last pic.

[lorenzsaputra]

hahahahaha, it was uncomfortable! But I'm getting used to it, like my thick leather wallet in my left back pocket.
I can't get that fade in front pockets since I have very tiny thighs, and I take upsize because I'm afraid that I'll grow fatter than now…

Annnnd just ordered these.

sounds better!

This will be interesting. I picked up a tagged size 30, which according to the chart measures 32 inches at the waist. As long as I can stretch it out to 33 I'll be good to go. Have you guys gotten at least an inch in stretch out of these?

I have chicken legs so I don't even have to worry about thigh measurements. 

[Bluegrass]

waist should stretch 1" easy. hopefully you have chicken legs all the way down. from knee down can get dicey (for me) on this cut.

My thighs are actually proportionate to my body. It's PRECISELY from knee down that I look like a doofus. It's like a genetic mishap or something, I has cigarette sticks for shins! (In other words, I'll be fine with the knee-down taper as long as I can button the jean).

[Bluegrass]

hahahaha, these pants should work great then!

Is it a lot stiffer than the regular 21 oz denim? Does it still soften up the same?

[Max Power]

They are stiff, but soften up a lot. I haven't worn them enough to compare with the regular 21 oz denim though, but think they are the same.
