      @brotherslen, I think they look good on you, but comfort is key. In all honesty I think that if you take a few weeks to break them in they will work out just fine for you once the denim settles and you get a little bit of stretch in them.

      Regarding stretch in the thigh/ knee area, I have found that UHR Denim does stretch back to pre soak size in areas where it meets resistance.

          Mine survived a 40 degree wash with no marks. Will get some measurements done later when they are dry.

            @brotherslen  I understand your dilemma. I’ll just echo what Mega said, they look good and they will relax with wear. Whether they’ll give enough for you is another matter. Good luck.

                Wow @spitfiredealer , I think you really got all the shrink out. 2.1 " in the waist is impressive.

                  yeah I was surprised how much it shrank so much so I just went back a re did it. If really pull on the waist you could say it was 30.6 but that's it. Going to be fun getting them on in the morning

                          Looks like everyone is getting quite a bit of shrink in the rise as well.  Good to know.

                              Guys, where does your pair sit relative to the hips?

                              Mine started up over the hip bone but are creeping down as the waist stretches. It’ll be interessant to see where they end up and whether the waist actually end up being so big that they sag…

                                    So I assume very little stretch, if any, after breaking in for the knee/low thigh area?

                                    They look small to me. Since they're the DWC version, you might have a better chance of recouping close to what you paid if you decide to sell.

                                      My pair size 34 arrived today. I had them hemmed at IHUK to 35.5"(free hemming? sure I'll take it!), so I own them now regardless.

                                      I'm planning on soaking in the sink for a while to soften the denim (as recommended), then a cold wash, hand cycle, no spin and hang dry, and then a 2nd wash with hot water, hand cycle, no spin and hang dry. I won't get to wear them for a couple of days… I plan to take some raw fit pics.

                                      Re: leather patch treatment, what are fella's here doing, if anything? I've been using 2 coats of Obenauf's Leather Oil before any wash or soak with new jeans, and then a new coating every couple of washes. I especially get the edges of the patches to help minimize the leather wicking in water into the end grain. Yeah, it darkens the patches significantly, especially on veg tanned leathers, but the graphics are still visible. I'd rather extend the life of the patch and avoid cracking.

                                      Here are my raw measurements (there may be inaccuracies around 0.125", as accurate as I can get);
                                      waist: 34.0" (the check list states 34.2" - I'm not gonna argue, it's close enough)
                                      front rise: 12.0"
                                      back rise: 16.5"
                                      thigh at crotch (90° to outer edge): 13.325"
                                      thigh 2" down (90° to outer edge): 12.5"
                                      knee @ 14" down: 9.25"
                                      Hem: 8.5"
                                      Inseam: 35.5"

                                          I apply Obenauf's LP after every wash, including the edges and the back of the patch. I've never had a patch crack, and while they do darken a bit, the LP doesn't darken the leather as much as mink oil or similar oils do.
