Copped. Will be my third run with these. Simply the best. Will be a while yet thought. Pair #2 still has life yet!

Hemmed as well so awesome turnaround.

Mine arrived yesterday, my first IH denim. I was mainly worried about there being too much room in the seat as I've fairly slim thighs and butt, but the fit everywhere is exactly what I wanted......bar the waist! I sized the waist (31 tag) to be right after an inch of stretch but it's even tighter than I expected it to be. Likely due to me not being experienced with this weight denim but it literally took me 5 minutes to get the top button done up, and I have significant stomach overhang! May have to swap the 31 for a 32.

@Jam_Shar denim only stretches if it is under strain so I always go with measurements that fit me near enough straight off.

@Jam_Shar You want them to be relatively tight in the waist to begin with, but not uncomfortable. They will have a decent amount of give, we say around 1" but that is not an exact science, some people have had 1.5" even slightly more stretch from 21oz over time

@Jam_Shar I have a W32 and have a similar issues with my old pair, I need to size up. I don't necessarily think it's the weight of the denim, more the cut, yet i've other 888's in heavier weights (in larger sizes waists too which fit fine
