^What this man said. I'm curious too.
In related news, in my private correspondence with them they said they measured the tag size 32-33 pairs in order to find a pair with the biggest thigh, but somehow the results are exactly as in the chart on their site; contrast this with Filthy's experience (12.5" in the chart, 13.1" measured) and I don't know what to think.
I want a pair sort of badly but logically thinking, I shouldn't take the risk considering their no returns policy and the fact that after shipping + tax, it could potentially turn out to be a $700+ pair of jeans I could look at but not wear. -

@Crit_Obs my advice is they probably aren't worth it. And to wait for Nobrandeon or Cheese denim to make another 32 oz run. Cheese is a bespoke denim brand… they can make you whatever.

I found their denims stretch a lot . I'm normally a 33 inch waist in IH and most Japanese brands . However on N&F ones I was a 31 . True to their word , the fudging denims stretched to a 33 or more . Luckily I had a shop that stocks many denim brands N&F being one of them , for a try on first . They carry IH stuff now too .
Found the APC denims to be a similar situation years ago too.

I still haven't heard anything about my jeans other than they are looking to see if they can find a replacement button. Not real impressed with the customer service or communication from the store or NF.

I was going to make joke about how it's probably because of the metric system, or the exchange rate, or because they're French Canadian, but I couldn't come up with anything. So I'll just say that sucks, and that I wish your experience has been better.

I'd have to agree with sabergirl, here. For my money, they'd have to give an even exchange, or full refund.
As a matter of principle, I don't accept defective goods, unless I am informed prior. I'm of the opinion, if a company believes consumers are willing to accept flaws like this and the "fix" they are offering, it affords them the luxury of lesser quality control. That is a luxury I'm NOT willing to afford them.

Buyer beware.

So yesterday I finally got an email from T+Y about the new button coming from Japan. I asked for a brand new pair and they agreed. I am thankful they finally agreed to give me a new pair. I try to be as laid back and humble as I can possibly be but it is crazy to me that it has been so long.
I also found it odd that the store is handling the repair and they sent it to a seamstress to be taken care of. But I am glad to have a new pair on the way. If the denim wasn't so cool I would have charged the purchase back. I am definitely spoiled from dealing with Iron Heart.

I got the new 32 oz jeans and they fit… all of the sewing irregularities are absent on this pair too. I will post pre-soak measurements tomorrow.

Great news mike!

Pre-soak
Size 38Waist 18.9
Thigh 13.2
Knee 10.75
FR 12.25
BR 16.5
Inseam 32So this pair is slightly larger than the last pair…
Idk if I will get time to soak these any time soon. Really enjoying my 888XHSib and I don't want to get distracted by these. Plus these aren't summer jeans. So maybe I will revisit them at the end of the summer?
