Thanks again, I'm trying to fight off temptation but they look great!

[grabby22]

No prob and just get them mate! You'll be amazed at how comfortable and breathable the 21oz is…

[David_pll]

Also eyeing up the IHSH-86, so attempting to prioritise on which should be purchased first (or both)

[Giles]

Both, then you get a starter kit discount.  Does that help….? 

[grabby22]

I prioritize my jeans over everything else.
Jeans are the most important part of an outfit to me. So getting a great pair of jeans would be my first priority.

[David_pll]

Oh, well this changes everything!

I'm happy with my tellason's, just would like (need/want) a heavier pair too…

[Bluegrass]

See how all the other parts measure up, rise, thigh, knee, hem, etc. and let that guide your decision. The waist will stretch, the other measurements not so much… Or without pressure the waist will hold more steady.

And of course you need more, and heavier jeans!!    MORE IS GOOD.

Last question, my current inseam is a 29. I want to allow for a cuff so was thinking of getting them taken up to 30.5, should I also allow for shrinkage later on?

[Giles]

No, from the shop page:

Sanforized, so little or no shrinkage but like all denim, will stretch up to one inch in the waist with wear

But they will tend to rise a little (maybe 1/2inch) as the combs form

[David_pll]

Giles, thanks again for the swift reply. Think I'm all covered now!

[David_pll]

Finally went for them in a 30, thanks for all the help!

[grabby22]

Enjoy them!

[David_pll]

Jeans arrived today, had them hemmed as well. Bit tight on the waist to begin but feel great. Couldn't be happier, thanks for the help!

[grabby22]

The fit looks great on you!

Grabby is right, excellent fit David!

[David_pll]

Thank you both!

[grabby22]

4 months in. Some evo pics as I'm letting them get some fresh air. Not much going on though…

This belt loop has faded the most.

Damn those look great! Don't forget to keep abusing them once your 301 arrives
