Hi all! I'm new here and just landed my first pair of Iron Hearts: the 301s. Like many other hapless fledgling wearers, I think I need some sizing help.

I'm tall and slim, 6'2 with a 32 waist (I wear 32 in the slim Self Edge x Flat Head Jean); I got the 301s in a 32 and the waist is just perfect right now. I'm worried it will stretch out too much though and that I should be wearing a size down. Rather than typing a wall of text I thought I'd just try to show a pic and see what you experienced people think. Sorry for the crappy quality, had to take them myself. You should be able to get the idea though. Should I be rocking the 31? I like a skinny jean but I don't want it painted on or looking ridiculous.

Spring Son of Light I went TTS on the 301s and they are my best fitting jeans. My size is 34.

Contact Self Edge, they have exclusivity for the 301S, thus all the knowledge.

Thanks Twin, I decided to stick with TTS. While I could have pulled off the next size down, I think the rise would have looked silly (I hate the slouchy thing).

BTW, how often have you washed your pair? Do you machine wash?

great pair chen321, love the combs

I washed them 5 or 6 times by hand.

Cool thanks! I will probably go the way of the machine when the time comes. How  long did you wait for the first wash?

[twin]

The first wash was at 10 months.

[goodvibes]

nothing special, they're at about 3 1/2 months. they're my favorite pair of jeans.

So I'm curious to know what you guys think of the fit on my 301s. I went TTS, and while the waist has stretched a bit after a week a wear, I think they're pretty comfortable. It hasn't stretched a ton since I went TTS, but has sort of mellowed out. I wear a belt with all my jeans so I wasn't that concerned with a slightly loose waist, as long as the rest looks good…

I'm still wondering if I should have gone down to a 31 and gone through the stretching process. What frankly stopped me was the rise; because of my heigh and build, the lower the rise the sillier I look. I think these look pretty good, obviously I'm not going for the boyfriend jean look here, though maybe they'd have looked better a size down? What do you guys think? Should I have sucked it up and sized down??
