      I need them to stretch at least 1 inch in the waist and about 0.2 in the thigh area.

      They will …..G

          I have updated the sizing table.  I did measure these in exactly the same way as I measure all the jeans I have here.  However, as a number of people have had issues with them coming in a tad smaller that they were expectig, I have reduced the waist size in the sizing table across alll the sizes.  I think this will help….(I guess I must have been using the tape maesure that I use for measuring the size of the fish I catch......)    G

            Check out the 34" waist size in 'inches' table, there's a mis-type.

                  OK, and good that measurements have been fixed. Noticed that to get my "normal" fit I have to size 2 up….If I ever get money scratched together. A bit higher rise is what makes these tempting as I don't want to show plumbers smile while riding my bike.

                      I went tts with the BB and they fit perfect.
                      They're tight but I know they're gonna loosen up just right.
                      The higher rise makes them supremely comfortable.
                      If you want a slim fit DEFINATELY go tts.
                      It would have been interesting to try a 35" if such a thing existed but I think they would eventually have loosened up too big.
                      Hope this helps a bit.

                        Honestly guys, it wasn't my intention to question G.'s sizing table. I just wanted to share my experience and help others with sizing.

                        It's understood that you will find a variance in measurements. G. can only take a control sample and then calculate the arithmetic average. That is why I said "here are the measurements for this explicit pair and not all other pairs tagged W32".

                        Nevertheless, I'm happy with the purchase and it is very likely that I will buy the OD version as well (unless I'm broke)…
                        And G. thanks for your confirmation. Like I said, I reckon with 3 days..

                          Just received mine this afternoon. If I wasn't wearing the King of Jeans (the almighty SR), I would have tried them on at the office. I'll wait until I'm home. I like the stitched piece of fabric on the back right pocket… Nice detail.  And ARE THEY DARK!!! Cant even imagine what the OD's are going to look like!

                            Darn - I received the Buster in my actual waist - size 30 - and hell, I'm not kidding you - love them.

                            Since this is the first and only pair of the official run - I can only second what has been said. True to size will be super snug in the waist - but after a week will be like one of those jeans that you never want to take off.

                            One size up will give you an overall somewhat relaxed but still slim fit. Thanks, Haraki-san and Lord for making these..

                                  They look perfect Beatle. Like the taper. Hard to resist. Only thing holding me back is the IH flannel lined jawnz impending purchase (don't want too many new jeans in rotation) If I do pull the trigger you guys will see what they look like sized up a few…
