      @WhiskeySandwich maybe my hips and gut are the same circumference…haha.
      I’m fairly thin, with an ever growing holiday ponch taking shape. Generally with my 888s I don’t wear a belt but with my 666 and 555s I do. All these particular cuts are a mid to high rise though as well. Maybe if I tried a 777 which is lower I’d need a larger waist???

      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

            @weftyarn that sounds great and a nice family pic Mate. 888 and 634 cuts are not made for me but 555 and 777 are my Cuts. Can't wait to start fading cause it is my first SBG🎉

                  Only a couple wears so far but I’m loving these. I think I nailed the fit with a 34.

                          Love the way these look. I’m glad I took the plunge on a pair of black IH. My collection is complete. Yeah right….

                              Got mine today, pure quality and they fit perfectly. Comfortably snug in waist. Really nice.

                                Hi all - fit question. Just got mine today and there's pretty comfortable out of the bag in a 34. I'd only want the waist to loosen up slightly, but would not say they're currently tight in the waist. Is that too big? Or do you only get an inch of stretch in the waist if you're actually stretching them out that much to fit? I don't have the 33 to compare but was worried they could be too small.

                                Again, these are pretty comfy right now just want to make sure they won't end up being too big...

                                  Hi there. The 21oz streches in the pressure areas. Hard to tell from the picture but the fit looks pretty good to me. Dont hey stay on your waist right wirhout dropping or sagging? Gow much room.you have on the thigh?

                                    Hi - thanks. Yes thigh is about perfect (not tight or loose, just slightly hugging) and they don't drop or sag. I'd say the fit currently is good but that's before any stretching. I wouldn't say waist is tight currently. With the 33 I'd definitely have to stretch into the right fit but not sure if that's a better answer.

                                      Depends how you like your jeans to fit. In.the first picture looks like you can go to 33 and get them to look like that with wear. Usually the common advice that you will get is to start on the slightly snug side and stretch them with wear.

                                        After few days of wear I can already tell the SBG doesn’t stretch the same way compared to the „normal“ 21oz which almost instantly loosens up with the very first wears. Happy I went with a W35 in the SBG compared to my W34 888s.

                                        Use it or lose it.

                                          I agree with @yannis . They don't look bad as-is at all, and I've never had a pair of IH stretch so much that they became unflattering/unwearable, rather just a tad too big for my liking but still manageable. But yep, I bet you could go a size down if what you're after is a real trim but comfortable fit. But I'll also agree with @weftyarn that the SBG doesn't seem to stretch as much as the regular 21oz.

                                            Yup, also agree with @popvulture that you may be able to make a 33 work but the question is how much comfort you’re willing to give up for that until you reach the desired stretch.

                                            With the 34, how far away from you, if at all, can you pull away the closed top button? I see you’re able to tuck a tee, would you be able to tuck a UHF too? That would probably be a red flag for me, unless you’re planning to always tuck something.

                                            Use it or lose it.
