      Well, if you do take the plunge, I would recommend sizing up one because you'll be washing them pretty regularly I would guess!

        Valid suggestion, I think I'll most likely hold off and just enter my Ooe Yofukutens into the contest.
        I don't think I could put up with 100+ degree weather for a few months in such a heavy pair of jeans.
        Hell, I've got to work on the other two pairs of IH denim that I already do have.
        It's just tempting see how nice these pairs turned out.

          You guys and heat. I work outside and wore the 23oz SE last summer and the 25oz MMBs the previous summer.  Sack up boys 😉

            @Megatron1505 they look fantastic.  That's the best fitting jean I have ever seen you in.  I am sure the pain in the waist is not pleasant but if you can make it through, you are going to be set…

                  I'm going to try to wear mine through the summer and it gets pretty hot and humid in NYC.

                    I wore this denim in NYC in the summer once.  I emphasise, the once….

                      Haha! I imagine I won't be wearing them much in July and August.

                          Well, Manhattan was once a swamp, thus swamp nuts aren't hugely surprising. 😃 😉

                                      @Megatron1505. They shrunk over 2inches in the waist??

                                      10:30 pm my reaction was: “Oh boy… They are measuring in at 33″ in the waist! Not dry yet!”
                                      11:30 pm: I put them on damp and they stretched right out to just under 34″. Forgot to keep in mind that these are so thick that you have to account for the side fabric when you try to measure flat.

                                      It all started with a leaf…

                                        Mine measured 35" inside the material, today they feel MUCH better. These are going to be perfect and I advise anyone who goes through the painful squeeze of a first fit that it will be fine.

                                          @superfuzz and @khaki8 no need to apologise - makes me smile reading these comments, I realise that comfort in that area is of utmost importance and love the way you boys politely compare notes about your "boys"!

                                            Day one. I think I'm going to try to hot soak them to get more of the length to shrink. They shrunk 1.5" after following the soak and wash instructions.

                                            Pretty happy with the fit though. I may need to get them hemmed a bit more though. I want a cuff, but t not doubled.
