      Thigh and hip will not stretch much. A third of an inch on the thigh is normal. Sizing down on jeans that fit snug the first go is a  good way to risk an early crotch blow out in my experience.

        ^ A legitimate risk, I've got plenty of spare 21oz for repairs at least haha.

        My thinking was that given they've already stretched out a lot after very little stress, a size down would stretch out reasonably after a month or so with real life wear vs holiday sloth mode. I'd prefer the slimmer silhouette if I can.

        I measured waist & thigh of my size 31's and they came at 32" and 11.5" respectively. Looking at the w31 and w30 dimensions, it feels doable. Although I suppose theres only one way to find out..yikes!

          It may be. Very hard to say. 21oz can stretch a lot but it’s thigh stretch that is hardest to come by. It’s also only one size you have to overcome. My experience with this concerned going from a 36 to a 34 in the IH-555-01. The 36 was too loose after stretch but the 34 never stretched enough. Good luck!

            just ordered a pair of these. i was tormenting @Adam for measurements of lots of pairs but the only way to figure it out is to try the damned things on. if they don't work, ill exchange them for something that does… now the next 3 days of waiting...

            Maybe so. Maybe not

              Is this your first pair in the 777 cut?

                  It's a great cut for a slimmer look but the rise can be dangerously low for some.  It's the lowest I can go but if you get the sizing right it's a great fit.  Hope it works out for you.

                    Thanks man, yeah I know. If the rise and thigh don’t work then I’ll probably grab the 777 xhs which has a bigger rise and thigh. And theeen if that don’t work I just go with the 634s and have them tapered…... oooor I wait for the 888 od but that rise is a little high for me. The 633sii  is the best rise I have but I could afford to
                    Loose and inch. Anybody ever get and y rise stretch?? Is that even a thing?

                      Honestly I have never noticed any rise stretch, maybe it's a thing?

                        Well I know my 634s stretched everywhere. They got very loose. Even before I dropped weight. But idk I’d the rise stretched specifically.

                        Maybe so. Maybe not

                          It’d physically impossible for that to be a thing. Mostly because of gravity but also because of seams.

                                Well I just got them and I love the way they feel. Waist is a touch big but a belt and tucked in shirt helps that.
                                Thigh is snug but I think they’ll stretch some. Rise is perfect for me. I have no Ass and short legs.  I think I’ve got a keeper here.

                                    @Alex do you know if there's a restock coming soon on these?  Not sure if it's just me but it seems like a bunch of sizes got wiped out recently.
