…screw it! went with the size 36 (36.7 posted). Hopefully one of the two pair left are closer to a true 36" waist.
....@Kasi advises to size up for optimal 'crack coverup' and @sabergirl warns of sizing down with XHS denim and the brutal punishment that goes along with that break in! (too old for that shit). :D…so I think I found the 'Goldie Locks' compromise! I hope. ::)

…hah! Turned out the smallest waist size Graham and the boy's had was a 36.9. Almost passed, glad I didn't. They fit great! With a soak, a wash and a hang dry the measurements turned out great.
waist-36.9" 36"
front rise-11" 10.5"
rear rise-15.3" 15"
thigh-13.1" 12.8"
knee-8.7" 8.6"
hem-8.3" 8.1"
inseam-37.5" 36.3"
…the obligatory @Jett129 'Jean, cuff, boot photo'.
…had a 3" cuff but pulled another inch out, now a solid 2" cuff!! Love it!

…let the break in begin!

The builder crack is where the looks at!

…@RoxRocks86 If I see builders crack it makes want to put a long stem Rose in there!
...this cut is quite literally the 555 cut with less rear rise. I'm down with it! They sit on your hips like Burt Reynold's bell bottoms!
...joy to the world!

I own the 777-XHS, 777-XHSib as well as the 555-XHSib. All are 32” and hemmed to about 34”. Lockdown was tough but short in Taiwan. Combined with record high temperatures it made it thoroughly impractical to wear these jeans indoors when we had temperatures of 36-37’c daily. I came across the 777-XHSib last week and tried them on, basically they don’t do up. Despite monumental efforts the top button stubbornly refuses to meet. The other 2 have been suitably broken in and are nice and soft. I decided to give them a long soak as they haven’t been worn. Maybe this wasn’t the wisest decision.
Any suggestions apart from the obvious to lose a couple kilos ?

The idea is to use a car jack to get a bit of stretch on the waist. May be you want to give that a try at your own risk!

Any idea when these will be restocked? Sorry if I missed it. Thanks.

Any update on the restock date?

Good to hear on both accounts. Soaked mine upon arrival as well. First 2 days were no joke but they have eased up considerably little over a week later and my thumbs are now strong as GOT the Mountains’
