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

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?

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.

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??

fit looks like a nice relaxed (for 301S) fit…i like it, i really do and if YOU feel comfortable in´it, why change a thing?!
keep´em and wear´em hard and don´t think about the sizing down thingy too much...

[Seul]

You wanna size down on that fit?.. You're out of your bloody mind…

Where's Jack when you need 'm!..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

for a women, I think one size down wouldn't be that bad.

Thanks for the input dudes! This is what I need to hear. I just always second guess myself when buying selvedge denim online without being able to try on different sizes. I have a feeling there would have been some unpleasantries with the rise, if you know what I mean, had I sized down. The slight extra waist room (i'm talking like a half an inch) is not that bothersome, I can live with it. It's actually good for when I want tuck in a shirt.

In any event, I am a big believer in having slightly more room in the top block for the sake of the jean lasting longer. If they're too tight up there the crotch always blows too soon!

[Seul]

Yeah half an inch of spare room is hardly an issue mate!.. Wear 'm hard and enjoy the ride!..

Thanks man! Going to wear them every day in Tel Aviv for the next 8 months. It will be a testament to those who rock 21 oz in hot climates.

Lori's new jeans.

[Arabit]

Better fit than the flat head imo. Super nice!!

[zhivago]

Really glad those worked out Joe!

[seanocono]

Great fit, Lori.

[Finn666]

fit of perfection! just needs a little hem though…

btw. where the back shot at?

[Snowy]

::)   Great fit, they look really nicely tapered! I'd cuff em. Cuffs go nicely with the ::)

My 301S arrived from Self Edge today (I live in the UK, so it was a lengthy 11 day wait!).

H E L L  Y E A H . . . ! ! !

Was a bit concerned about the roomier top box (what with my current favourites being FH 2011, which are uber-tight up top), but everything seems to sit perfectly. Also, due to my own negligence, I failed to notice that there is no selvedge line down the seam, but that is one negative amongst many positives. Will post fit pics later today.
