      @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!

            @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

              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.

                  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

                      The devil is in the detail..

                        In the sample pictures, are they hemmed, which is making the yellow thread so bright because new stitching? @Alex

                          Correct - we hem with the correct colour thread to match the indigo jeans, as once the black fades a bit anything else looks wrong. If you prefer a different colour thread, you can specify that in a note at checkout

                                @Anesthetist same here hopefully the team can find a pair that meets what I am looking for as I was between sizes. I really only have this cut or the 888s as options for me.
