Nice Santos! Glad they are back!!! Just had G put my pair into my "Stack/ Pile" as I am now set back a little with the SELA trip…

Almost…green...
I'm going colorblind, aren't I?
Roping, sans soak
See what I did here?

When the sun comes out I'ma have to take some photos of my pair, its coming along nicely for 65 wears. Introduction of biking is going to speed some things up…

So true. I can't stand the saddle fadez so they're strategically placed in the non-cycling part of the rotation. Looking forward to the check in though, as my life as a desk jockey limits my hours inside the S-B and MOAR PICS PLZ.

My pair arrived today and I couldn't be happier with the fit. I'll get some pics up tomorrow after I break em in at the skatepark.
I wish, my ACL hates me right now.
I'm about to pull the trigger on these. What's the deal with stretching, about an inch? Any advice for sizing. I'm essentially a 33 on most days.
Any help would be awesome.
And in 6 months, these can break me in at the skatepark.

I divide my time equally between the TTS (true to size) and SDO (size down one) camp. With these I sized down one. I haven't measured, but they have stretched in the waist; I'd say about 1"-1.5", which has made them very comfortable. No soaks either, which would certainly shrink the denim back close to tagged measurements.
The denim is 'loose weave', which does tend to produce stretch, especially if worn lower than the true waist. All in all, I'd say go with a tagged 32 or 33 depending on how you prefer the rest of the sizing, i.e. thighs, rises, knee, etc. You may also want to measure a pair of tour existing jeans, like Giles does with new pairs, and compare measurements.

Also, for skating, there is no better denim.

Sorry to hear that. I just recently recovered from back to back ankle sprains. They kept me off the board all summer.
I sized down one. After one session I had the perfect fit. One thing though, I sweat like crazy when I skate and the all the salt is super visible once my pants dry. I'll get some better fit pics up tomorrow.
-
Didn't soak, even though I usually do, sanforized or unsanforized. The OD dipping gets rid of the shrink and I couldn't wait…
-
No Soaks, just threw em on and proceeded to give em hell.

Just got this message:

How exciting! Fit pics to come. Along with the herringbone flannel in the same package.

Oh man. Just got mine a few days ago from Giles. This is some serious armor.
Iron Heart has a new convert.
They are a little tight, can barely, if at all button the top. Hoping this will stretch. The rest is awesome. Serious construction, good fit.
Trying to stretch while doing some physical therapy on my knee. Probably won't wear these alot with the leg brace. Don't want some peg leg fading.
Sorry for the Iphone pic.
