      @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.
