          A starting waist of 34.5" can absolutely get to 36". Won't go much further without mechanical assistanse.

          So this might be good news, my waist is a 32 and the tag size 30 is actually 30.5 are you saying if I order them and put up with them while they stretch I will end up with them at a 32? Or is it just better to go with the 31 tag size and deal with them a bit baggier. I do want them in a more fitted look I hate when they become too large

              As long as you can do the thigh on the W30 I'd go that way. You can ask IHUK to check the W30's for a specific waist measurement (closer to  31" for example).

                Thanks for all of the help! Placed my order this morning and can't wait to get going! My first IH pair and first 21oz denim as well!

                    I just have to say, once they were cropped down to 31', these are the best damn pants I've ever worn since caving into denim.

                    Thank you,

                      Boom! Finding the right length to hem jeans is surprisingly difficult, but when you get there everything looks better…

                          First day ever? Or first day after summer?

                              No worries, it will get better and stretch a good amount where needed.

                                Congratulations! Dion is right, couple of weeks and you'll be golden. I had my first day in a new pair today for the first time in about three years. After the XHS and UHR it's like walking around in warm milk [emoji28]

                                  You have experience with walking around in warm milk?  Man Norwegians are interesting people….you are Norwegian right??

                                      I don't think you should listen to them.

                                      But yes @setandsetting, the fellas are right.  This 21oz fabric is hands down the most comfortable heavyweight fabric you will find anywhere.  It's amazing how IH makes it so wearable and comfortable at such a.heavy weight.  I hear it's cause they do something super sexy with the weft.  Congratulations btw, it's a great fabric.

                                        Thanks guys. I think I just gotta get used to the low rise and hopefully not crush my balls in the meantime.
