@JCMx800:

They stretch, keep the 33 will be spot on in 1-3 weeks

Agreed, suffer for a week for years of comfort and good fit.

[GJLW]

Thanks - this is helpful. But will require some suffering. They will stretch an inch?

Also - are you guys soaking these before wearing. I know they are sanforized already so…?

[JCMx800]

I soaked mine, to settle the stitching, dont know if it make sense or not. If not, I soaked my pair to get out the starch and dirt from the shelves

[Seul]

Wear the 33 for a week or two… Soak... Then wear the fuck out of it...

[GJLW]

Thanks. Will post fit pics once I have tamed the XHS a bit.

[Giles]

You will get an inch of stretch.  My advice is to soak first (but I never do with the XHS, because I don't like it when I tell me what to do…....)

[yuchanglo]

Just got a new one in the mail, would you recommend an initial soak or no since it's sanforized?

[Giles]

With these, you should, but i don't….

[yuchanglo]

Why should you? because there might still be shrinkage on the length?

[Giles]

Yes a small bit, but more importantly to bed in the constructional (yellow) stitching…

[yuchanglo]

I am not following.. what do you mean by "constructional (yellow) stitching"?

[Giles]

The stitching that holds the pieces of denim together that makes them into jeans….

What are jeans?

Pants made out of denim, usually dyed in indigo.  Typically with 5 pockets, reinforced by rivets at major stress points.

whoah…that was just too much loanwords in one single post

It's ok.  We know you're new to this.  Once you've bought a couple of pairs, you'll figure it out.

hahahaha.

I must say that this pair does not feel as heavy as I was expecting. Anybody else feel that way as well? Probably has to do with the fact that I also own IH-805.

picked up a pair of these, but sizing was a bust. waist was ok, but everything else felt off, and the 9" leg opening looks like a bell bottom on my scrawny legs.   will be returning.

I wanted a size 30 in these. 
Self edge told me based off the jean sizes I have they would be to tight.
I have the following:
Most comfortable-31-634s-wh
New ducks 2634 - sz32 good fit
25oz mega BB size 33 loose fit (and I feel I got 2" of stretch in the waist from these)
Vulcans 31 like skinny jeans but I wear them often.
Ended up getting the Vulcans in sz32 good fit, still new
