Thanks G. Any chance of a restock in size 29 in the future?

[Giles]

There are 29 in the brown in Japan,  I could get those in for you.  G

First post!  Hi, y'all.  I want to add a pair of 705s to my collection, but it seems that I won't be able to find one in a 34 or 36.  I wear 36 in my 634s, and 9634s, and I have some 301s07BKs in 38 which are sort of too big now that they've stretched a bit.  I'm wondering if anyone out there has a lead on a 36, or can advise whether I would be silly to go for a 38.  Cheers!

I think a 38 would be a bit big. I think you'd be happier with a 36. If you're not opposed to used clothes, you might check the buying selling section.

That being said, I rock a 38 in my 634-XHS and a 40 in my cargo pants, just depends on the looks you're going for. How's your 36s fit? Snug? Baggy?

Here's my 705s in 40

And my 634-XHS in 38

Yeah, those look a little baggier than my 36 634s and definitely baggier than the 301s 38s fit, but I have a bit of a different body type than you–girl hips, y'know...

Thanks for the input!  I'm pretty sure that from the 705 measurements and previous experience with cargos, I should shoot for a 36, and could probably fit a 34.  Most pants that I wear a 36, including my IHs, always need a belt!

I'll let other members that own a pair of 705s weigh in on the fit, but I just wanted to say: Welcome, sabergirl! Glad to have you on the forum.

If you need a belt at 36, go for a36

My recommendation is to size down one in these. Personally, I'd size down 2. This fabric stretches a decent amount.

[joesaintjohn]

I should size down in mine, eventually.

[Finn666]

^i'd vote for a "yes!"…38 should be doable for you and knowing that you're still going to drop more and more weight, wth not

[trail and arrow]

if i understand i right,
the general canon is to size down with the 705?
THANKS

[D97x7]

I did and I'm very happy with the result!

[trail and arrow]

thanks man,
was thinking about the last 38,
but i would have to gain a lot wait to fill them.

if anyone wants to get rid of a green 36, please pm me!
cheers

[sabergirl]

I couldn't resist the sale and (contrary to everyone's advice) jumped on that 38, myself.  I measured a pair of old baggy cargos that I still like to wear, and all the measurements are similar.  Hopefully I'm not totally crazy!  I'll post pics when they get here.

[trail and arrow]

l am looking forward to that!

No chance, sorry…...We actually (and rather surprisingly professional of us) did a stock take before we started the sale...

[sabergirl]

UPS came and caught me asleep, with no money in my wallet to pay the (surprise!) import fees.  Laaaaaame.  Anyway, I'm stoked on the fast shipping from IHUK, and the UPS guy said he would come back later.  Now the wait is even MORE unbearable after having seen the package!
