      Anyone who can help a poor inexperienced Serge virgin? Is their much stretch in these? My true waist falls in between sizes and I need to know whether to go up or down.

        I'd go down! My 705s haven't stretched because they didn't need to, but would have easily IMO!

          I'm sticking with my normal size on these.  The measurements appear to be pretty much the same as the 706.  I tried sizing down on those (the 15 oz. version), and it did not work so well for me.  For me, the thigh was the problem.

            i wouldn't go down, but as always a personal preference.  I did on the first round (ih 705) and always regretted it.  While they stretch a bit, they also shrink a bit with wash.  I was a 30 in the 705 and measurements just about the same this round.  would have done a 31, but alas no black 31's left.  Even considering a 32 as I tried a 33 in 705 and was almost able to make them work

              I'm really bummed out that I missed out on these. After all those months of waiting. I probably couldn't have afforded them right now anyway. I haven't worked in 3 months. Oh well.

                I think G mentioned that some sizes were delayed, so it could be your size is still coming this week.

                  I think it is safe to say @Winchy got a over zealous when uploading the website pics - enjoy!

                  Great pictures

                          Thanks @D97x7 @Midgegante @bushmonkey , Although I'm still none the wiser 😃

                          I need a 37" waist after stretch, so it's either a tagged 36 with a belt, or a tagged 35 and risk them being toight in the waist…. 2" stretch is possibly a little too much to hope for. That being said, I notice that the rise is high so it might work out. Fuck it, I just don't know...

                          Also @Giles , do you know if olive 34's are one of the missing sizes that we're waiting on or if you've sold out already?

                            @neph93 I'm generally 37"'waist and I wear W36 in all my IH jeans and chino's including the 705's, and they're a comfortable fit and I wouldn't advise sizing down - they're also extremely beefy, but very comfy, and I haven't noticed any stretch, nor can I imagine it really happening without a lot of effort.

                              @tmg that's a great help, thank you. I was edging towards the W36, now I'm pretty sure. I tend to go W35 in IH jeans, when it's available, or a measured 35" in the 21oz denim because when I've always got about 2" of stretch out of them.

                              On another, "off thread"-note, your old Vibergs are loving the Norwegian winter, and I'm loving your old Vibergs. I look forward to pairing them with these beasts.

                                        No, no, I really appreciate the contribution.  I didn't mean to sound rude… [emoji29]I think it was an even draw between will stretch/won't stretch until @tmg weighed in. So that's what I meant by "none the wiser" [emoji28]. At the end og the day I'm sure there'll be a little stretch, but 2" is a bit of an ask.

                                        Co-incidentally, that fit you have is the kind I want. Looking great. I always like the background in your fit pics. Beautiful looking house. May I ask where it is?

                                          Thanks, my home is in a small village called Lympsham, in the South-west of England.

                                          Yes, I do think 2" would be a bit of an ask, now I think about it!

                                            Remember this stuff is one washed so it is more likely to stretch more than unwashed pants. Giles might have a comment about this.
