Also, @harleylawhorn you have quite a few posts, so I assume you've shopped with us a few times before, but in case you were not aware, you can purchase a tag size 32 and ask for the crew to ship you the pair with an actual waist closest to xxx" as possible if you have a target you are trying to hit.

@Alex that’s awesome Alex. Thank you. But going off of what you just said, anywhere around 32 would probably be money.

@Alex Oh it's all good, I guess the question is to what purpose the lookbook-style shots. These look amazing, and seriously he's rockin' the look. But as far as getting a sense of the fit on a particular body I was just kinda scratching my head lol.

As far as unanswered questions, no I don't think so. Based on measurements of the jeans I own, the jeans I've tried on in the past, and so forth, I'm confident size 34 works for me, though might add a note to see if any pairs happen to be larger than the norm in the waist.

In all honesty, I expect these to sell out immediately at launch tomorrow, so I have about 24 hours to decide if I'm going to try to get a pair or not--I definitely want the 1955 in indigo but if I don't manage to get a pair of the OD it won't be the end of the world.

Thanks for the help!

Perfect. Happy to help @harleylawhorn @twinning

@Alex just re read your first post and read it a little wrong the first time. The original measurement of the 634’s were 32.5. Now they stretched to a 33”. So I’m still assuming that if I get a 31.9, they’ll stretch to at least a 32.5, but would be fine because the waist fit opposed to the hip fit

[Alex]

My gut feel is that you would be fine because of waist/hip fit, but if you wanted to be safe you could order a tag 32 and ask for a pair slightly larger than chart ~32.5" and see if there is an outlier pair

What would be the best approach for tomorrow’s release?

I am in between sizes and am looking for the following.

Waist: 35.5
Thigh: 13.8-14

Should I go for a size 35 and ask for an outlier to the larger side in thigh measurement or go 36 and ask for an outlier to the smaller side in waist measurement?

I do like the slightly smaller top block with the shorter rise of the 35 but the majority of the time the limiting factor is my thighs.

I am trying to prevent the extra material in the top block to fit my thigh and waist measurement. Not wanting the diaper look lol.

[Alex]

If you want to be super safe, order a 35 and a 36, add this as a note in your order, then ask us to refund you for the pair you dont take prior to shipping (you will be out of pocket for ~24h). If you don't want to do that, then I think 35 with a larger thigh is safer

Quick question: Does the overdye process change the texture of the denim (e.g., softer)?

@JohnM I have the regular and overdyed 19oz left hand twill in hand currently and the overdyed pair is noticeably softer and more supple
