      Are you expecting that we measure every pair of jeans and stamp 32.1, 32.3, 32.6 etc etc ? Because that won't happen.  Tag size is an approximation always has been, always will be.

      To expand upon @sabergirl 's explanation.

      If any brand tells you that all their tag 32 measure exactly 32, they are lying.

      1. The way jeans are cut (especially with big brands) is that the individual pieces change shape/size through the stack of material that is being stamped or cut out.  Levi's are notorious for having massive sizing variance within a specific tag-size.  When I was a Levi's fanboy in the 70's and 80's, I would try on multiple pairs until I found the exact right fit.

      You would think one of the peaks of sizing perfection would be something like formula 1 - There is a massive variance between the size of the tyres that are all supposed to be the same size.

      1. Most jeans companies vanity-tag, yes, even for men.  I had to hem a pair of Diesel once, the tag size was 34. they measured 38

      2. Use the variance as a positive and dial in the perfect fit.  We have 100's of customers who will email us and say something like, I'd like a tag size 33 that measures as close as possible to 32.5

        I get it.  Now that I'm on my third pair, I'm understanding how to get it as close to right as I can since no store is around me.

        My newest pair just shipped!  WooHoo.

          That is down to you..

          Me I would have them repair.

          @neph93:

          They are fixable for sure. I’d get them fixed, then start on a new pair. I love it every time I get out my well worn XHS for a trip around the block.

          Booked them in for repair… now to wait

                    Is there a restock eta on these? Looking for the 35W.

                          Any chance the new denim in the 555s will work for you?

                            @Jett129 Unfortunately I'm in-between sizes. I was hoping to see a 35W which would of worked best. I can always loose another 5-10lbs and go with a 34W, but I like to eat too much.

                              Just joined and bought a pair of 555 yesterday from Rivet & Hide. Narrowed the fit to either the 555 and the 777 but went with the 555 because I think they look better on me.  I was expecting them to be very rigid and that they may have needed a a few wears to ‘break’ in but they are very comfortable from the first moment I tried them on. Looking forward to see how they turn out.

                              Some fit pics below

                                Very nice @amin Congratulations. Looks like the 555 is good for your body type and you've sized perfectly. They will stretch a little but that will come with the break in.

                                How are you finding the waist on them?

                                  They fit snug on the waist

                                    Perfect. When they stretch, they shouldn’t end up too big. Good job!

                                      Two years of wear on these. Definitely my favourite and most well worn pair. They’re a little too loose (or at least looser than they were at purchase, but they might’ve been too tight then 🙃🤣) following 20kg of weight loss since they were purchased but still fit pretty good with a belt I think? Eyeing my next pair with new sizing in mind is a bit daunting now mind you 🙄

                                        Those look great, and like they’re just the right size. Can’t imagine you fitting 20kg more weight in there, must’ve been very tight!

                                          I think it’s fair to say, they were a little tighter
