    Looking at the chart you posted the differences are pretty small between the regular and od version. I would take the same size od with regular and it will easily stretch to the same size as the regular version and more

      I would order OD a size up. That’s always been the general consensus.

        I had 666 od in 18oz and even though they stretched I was never happy with the fit. I sold them off.

          FWIW, I bought both the indigo and OD from this run, and I sized up in the OD.

            @JohnM I have a pair of tag 33 indigo on the way from The Shop Vancouver. They should arrive Monday and I can update you then.

            I'm of the same mind as you based on the size charts and ordered different sizes in each.

              Congrats to those who snagged a pair. I was in the middle of Death Valley camping during the release so I completely missed out. Oh well, I'll get them in when they restock in a few years! 😅

                @JohnM echoing what's been said by many here. 33 in the indigo and 34 in the OD. While the waist would stretch, the other dimensions were unlikely to get where I needed them. I'll have to just wear the OD pair with a belt, no big deal

                  @JohnM Just got tried my indigo pair on. They feel about the same as the OD one size up. The waistband is a hair more snug, but I'd imagine that after a week of wear they'll even out.

                      They’ll stretch but not really as much as some would hope. Some people go same size and hope for stretch back to non OD size but that hasn’t been my experience at all. If you sized up you should be good.

                        I've taken 888 indigo and OD in the same size previously without issue. Managed to grab my traditional size 36 in this pair after a restock notification yesterday (have the indigo 1955 in 36 and they fit spot on). Little nervous how the new pair will fit after reading this thread. Will report back when they arrive tomorrow.

                          I've been wearing my size 34 Indigo 1955 non-stop after grabbing them in the Feb 2024 restock. After a little bit of hesitancy I decided to go with size 35 in the OD, and I couldn't be happier. Sizing up is indeed the way.

                            I sized the same as my (old pair) 1955S and I'd say chosing the same size was definitely the way to go for me. Definitely snug in the waist to start, but the right amount for me.

                              We have a divergence of opinion re sizing but a lot of enthusiasm for the 1955S! An obvious but important point about sizing up is that it’s not only the waist that gets bigger but everything else too. Given the width of the 1955 down below I’m hesitant to size up for fear they’ll get too wide from the knee down. This isn’t an issue with the 888, which is pretty trim through the lower leg. Here, sizing up might be an advantage.

                                I am of the opinion that in the 1955 cut, the only measurement that will be relevant for the majority, is the waist, as they have very generous thigh and knee measurements. I have no personal aspiration for this cut as I like knee and hem measurements as close as possible but it seems to me that is the easiest cut to get right because the thigh and knee shouldn't be a limiting factor for most people.

                                  Only if they are put under pressure, clearly. If you size up so much that no pressure is applied to the thigh at all, it will not stretch

                                    ^ Right Alex. I was just referring to the overall measurements, which all start out a touch larger as you move up in size.

                                      @yannis I would agree, with the caveat that someone who struggles with thigh measurements should still size these based on leg rather than waistband.

                                      They're bigger than the 634 but not so much bigger that they can be treated as a relaxed cut where waistband is all that matters.

                                      And also as pointed out, little to no pressure on a part of the garment = little to no stretch there.

                                        @KA56 Agreed, as someone who struggles with the thighs usually, that's how I sized these. Had to ask the crew for the biggest thigh measurement
