davito, would love to see more of the 004; how did you size those?
-
Slab usually i am a comfy 30 in IH, in lot 004 as well as JMC 991XH i have 29. in lot 004 i easy could go 28 but then the front rise and thighs could be an issue for everyday wear. I like the size 29, they probably are like a 31-32 now after a soak, a cold wash and some daily wearing and riding the bicycle. There was a bit of shrinkage.
Will post actual pics this afternoon and try to measure as well. I love the vintage look of this jeans.
Freddy from VMC has worn a size 28 in lot 004 he is approx same built and usually take 29/30 like me but after some days they were too low on the rise for his liking. I am 173cm 62kg approx
I'd say one down from ur usual size or two down for an overall slim low rise fit and depending how you want to fit your thighs, knee and hem. BiG measurements should be good to get an idea as well.
I am glad i got the 29 complementing my lifestyle

Slab here we go pics of the Lot 004, waist measures pretty much pre-soak/wash after a soak and a cold wash as well as some wear at 32.3 inches (82cm) measured the BiG way. I am glad I have the room in these for future reserve :).
a 28 would be doable without problems for me but as said I am happy with the 29. The inseam on mine are tagged 32, i wear a small double cuff.
I do love the backpockets on these and the offset belt loop, just another fantastic jeans
-
im inerested as well in the tee. Looks like it might be a RMC tho??? ….maybe?
wish those RMC jeans fit me, man do they look great!
-
thanks davito and Finn; looks like I will need a 28 for slim fit and 29 for more relaxed

For anyone who has money to throw away there is quite a few new RMC items up on eBay including HH engineers listed for $2500- 3800 (way above the prices in 2nd or at BiG) up for sale. Lots if cool stuff but can't understand why the seller has them marked up SO much

Best way to test their value is a reserved auction. If only there were some way to do that… Perhaps some sort of electronic auction, perhaps a web site?

RMC heavyish chinos, for a ridiculous price…
Enter the discount code, "LastChance10", and receive an additional 10% off all sale items.
Sale ends at midnight on Sunday, August 19th.I have 2 pairs for a few years, shrink to tagged size after a few washes (although a lot in the leg mine are tagged 32 and have shrunk to 32 x 34) and wear in very well, all shiny and bulky when new but break in similar to denim. Last for years. This is less than half the price I paid and even substantially cheaper then Jpn retail so…
they have some other nice stuff on sale too.
-
sorry just to be clear re post above, the chinos shrunk and stretched to tagged size. I think it's how they are supposed to work, fine on me. Might be confusing to read shop disclaimer and my post re shrinkage. thx

So the inseam shrank to 34"?

So the inseam shrank to 34"?
I have a pre and post shrink pair both 32", so I got the measuring tape out. Shrunk and stretched to tagged waist size, although the overall shape is neither baggy nor tight. The inseam shrunk about 1 inch to 33. No problem cuffing, but if you're sized over 33'' inseam then they are not suitable. According to the website all sizes have the same inseam so I presume you will get the same results. Hope this helps.

jeez the power of social marketing, they have been on sale with extra discount for maybe 5 days with no action. I put a post up on IH and all 3 sizes gone within an hour or so. mad
mccoys are in the laundry waiting to get a nice wash
