      It's never a good idea to size down so far you can't button up. Be comfortable!

      Respectfully disagree. With a denim that stretches, I think to achieve an eventual good fit it's inevitable and 100% part of the experience. With a belt covering the unfastened top button, not a problem either.
      And I think it's a myth that tight jeans are uncomfortable. One has to have the taste for a tight fit, that is true, and if one does, the infamous "initial discomfort" (famous citation from Self Edge) absolutely is a phase that I would hate to miss when wearing in a new pair.

      Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

        This is absolutely correct.

        No matter how hard I've tried, if the jawnz are uncomfortable from the start, they will be uncomfortable in the future. I buy jeans to enjoy wearing them and not to hope they might stretch after some months of wear (which they don't in my case). It's kinda silly because I never experienced a big amount of stretch which will justify to size down (and if one sizes down, not only the waist becomes smaller but also everything else) … but again this is my personal experience and I don't claim to possess the one and only truth. It just doesn't work for me.

            Good Lord.  Wearing overly tight pants is not for me.  I had to give my 666S 18 oz. to my brother in law because they were crushing my boys.

              I sized down on the 666S (W36) for a smaller hem in an attempt to stretch them but no freaking way (I can't even put them on after a soak). Thinking about going TTS W38 because the 18 oz denim is really nice and full of character.

                  One of our customers, who is also a dear friend to us, just came by and left his 634S….

                  He has worn them every day since April '13 with only a very few washes.
                  The aged leather patch on this one is just outstanding!!!

                  Have a good one!!

                    Please allow me to compliment you on your "no crushing" fit philosophy. I don't expect jeans to fit or feel like trackies, but I will be damned if I will live under an oppressive Nut Compression regime.

                            G, have you ever considered to update the legendary 634S so it can have the sweet selvage-fly-detail as well??

                              Yes.  It's always on the to do list, but other things keep on getting higher priority…...

                                      Recently got gifted a pair of these and they have become my go to work pants.  Forgot how much I liked the 21oz, way too comfy…

                                          These are what I throw on for DIY, gardening and the early morning dog walk. Get a hot wash whenever they dirty. Never going to have high contrast fades and I am cool with that. Really comfy and easy to move around in.

                                            ^More natural looking and genuine IMO. High contrast is often overrated. Very cool pair!
