For completeness, delighted to let y’all know I managed to source the Tag 35 from IH Germany thanks to @Twistlock , the package arrived a couple of days ago (with a very painful import fees bill 🫠)…. and I feel they fit great!
Here are some photos after the pre-soak in a bath of cold water with some Woolite.
I don’t think I could be happier and even after just a couple of hours wandering around the house in them I can already feel them softening up. This is going to be quite the journey and I am very excited about it.
Thanks to everyone here for helping me with the sizing and sharing your advice/thoughts/experiences with these awesome jeans!
My first XHS experience and I know already it definitely won’t be my last!

(Apols for bad photos. Tag 35 post soak)

@long_john86 Much better fit! I think you'll find after some wear you'll be happy you sized down.

[long_john86]

Joined the 25 oz club today. Here they are straight out of the box. The last pair of size 32 in stock. Luckily they were right on size with the chart which seems perfect. (Checked with CS before I ordered )
Had them hemmed so when washed they might have a small cuff or preferable uncuffed with some stacking. They feel pretty amazing and also different from both my 21 oz and my UHRs . The weather might not call for 25oz atm but will have them soaked and washed and ready by end of the week

@PJ they look great on you and welcome to the XHS club!

This is my second pair, a refresh. I take a picture with my originals that took, you know, six years to fade (even a little).

@long_john86 that's what I'm talkin' bout! Awesome fit, glad that worked out!

[profdbrk]

@goosehd Aww, thanks. that's my 1972 Series III. Runs like a charm. Far better than I do.

@profdbrk that is one splendid Landy! Good to hear he’s running well. Hope you continue sharing pics of it.
