PIH5DCT - 25oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Tapered Cut
-
^ your problem may be the taper in the thigh. The tapered cut might be roomier that the slim straight at the top of the thigh where it's measured but the tapered cut gets slimmer quicker between upper thigh and knee.
By way of an example, I can do a 12.8" thigh in the 666 but the same thigh in the 555 is a no-go for me as the mid/lower thigh gives me sausage legs.

The biggest ??? with these seems to be whether or not to soak them. With my Iron Heart / Selfedge 301s-SEXIH13 23oz collaborations (www.instagram.com/wabisabifades), I chose not to let them touch any water until 1 year, and I feel the fades speak for themselves. But these were rinsed, not unwashed, like the Pronto's we're discussing. My gut is to do the same, but, then again, I also had to invest in a pretty costly overhaul repair job with Indigo Proof…Guess we'll see how much room I have when I try them on for the first time...

I will definitely be soaking these, first thing! Prolonging the life of the jeans is way more important than fades, imo.

Soaked mine cold for about 30 minutes over the weekend. They fit the same as before, no real change although I didn't measure before of after. I wanted to make sure the jeans would be stronger. These are the most expensive jeans I've ever bought so I was a little paranoid, for the better hopefully.

Agreed. This right here. Plus I don't think soaking them once in the beginning is really going to affect the fades that much.

A lot of room in the waist as I expected but overall I like the fit. The thigh is spot on with a little room. Im going to soak them and then the fit should be good!

I'm glad they're going to work out for you man! Great buy

These are gonna be tight! But I'm going for it, as I'm afraid going up to 38 will be too much in the waist, knee, and hem. Here's some pre-soak fit pics:
Into the drink they go! 
The denim on these is gorgeous! What a special pair. I wish I had a whole inch more back rise, but I'm gonna try to make em work.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. Did a luke warm soak for approximately 30 minutes. They're drying right now so maybe some fit pics tomorrow.

How would you guys say the top block fits overall between the tapered and slim fits? There is still 1 in stock in my size in the slim and idk if Giles will get more tapereds in my size. The thigh measurement on my samurais right now is around 10.5" at the crotch seam and I'm looking for a looser fit than that

On a size 36, what would the hem opening be with the inseam reduced to 32?
I can't get these out of my head?

Post Soak

What do y'all think? Should I try to flip these, and size up? Shoothepier, any interest in my 36?

Absolutely not, they look great. I read somewhere (on the slim straight thread?) that there's a decent amount of stretch in this denim. I say keep them and rock them.
Btw, did the waist shrink much?
