@alexswords that is a great find indeed, and a great fit too! I didn't get a pair, but they will remain one of the all-time greats in my book.

Just dropped them off with Rain at Indigo Proof for some new pocket bags and crotch repair.

Amazing pair.  GOAT worthy, along with Nizzles SIIs

So I just picked up a pair from @alexswords (thanks!) and I gotta admit, I was nervous.  My standard thigh size (what my IH pants have stretched to with use) is 12.5" and Alex got these down to 12" after soak.  Oh boy!

Well, they arrived yesterday and they felt and looked amazing.  Lots of wear left on them, just little bits of poppy blue here and there.  I got them on, success!  The tightness of the thigh is keeping me from bringing the waist as high as I'd like, making them feel almost like a mid-to-low rise, but I'm pretty confident I can stretch these guys out.  About 20 minutes after putting them on I started losing circulation in my right foot LOL.  No, it's not that bad, but it does feel a little tingly.  I'm going to break these in yet!

Today, I was able to cross my legs!  Progress!

As I was telling Alex, it's been so long since I've sized down and felt the tight bearhug of denim that doesn't want to give.  It's a great feeling!

[alexswords]

@Paul9221 glad you're getting them to give in!! keep wearing them and they'll reward you handsomely

By the end of the day yesterday, they were actually pretty good.  Still hard to squat down to reach things, but not bad.  When I did finally take them off, my legs had the indentation of the internal thigh stitch

Careful washing them, Paul. I had a pair of 36 that fit super-snug after my initial hot soak, with tight thighs. They stretched out and were great for a few months wear. When I gave them warm machine wash on the delicate cycle, they shrank up and I couldn’t even squeeze my thighs into them any more.

Oh no!  I'm surprised that a delicate wash caused so much damage! Just the added agitation, you think? Is there no saving them?

I usually just soak my jeans inside out with detergent in the tub when they need a cleaning but thanks for the warning!

I also gained a little weight around that time, but I could squeeze into them before the wash, and after it was impossible.  I did also tumble dry them with no heat, briefly.  I would be very careful if they're as snug as you say…
