@Go-For-Chill that fabric looks insane.

That wide fit looks pretty good on you, @worn2fade . I’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger on a pair of these. If the thigh measures as advertised, these might be a solid fit for me. Not wide like they are on you, but without the gapping waist that’s typically necessary for me to fit my hindquarters into some selvedge. Tall/big girl problems

@worn2fade I think they look good on you. I tried a pair of these on recently too and they looked about the same on me but I think I tried the tag size down from my usual with them. Overall I liked the legs but found them too high rise for me. I think after you wear them a bit that fabric will start to drape more nicely and look less wide.

I thank you guys for the feedback. I’ve been on the fence about these so your words are appreciated.
@sabergirl / I feel ya 100%. I myself have thicker thighs and a decent bottom so I could really only swing the 888 cut comfortably going TTS. If you have that problem with your other pairs, this one should definitely work. Just keep in mind the rise on these bad boys is HIGH. & the thigh measurement is definitely accurate. I think these would fit much better if I went TTS instead of sizing up honestly… so the bagginess you see here may just be a little dramatic.
@pechelman yeah dude this rise is high indeed but I think I dig the higher rise. I hot soaked & hot washed them today, so I’m hoping when they’re 100% dry tomorrow, they fit a bit more snug. They’re unsanf and one washed though so I’m not expecting a dramatic change. After this and some wear though, I’m sure that drape would look way more appealing.
I’m just super surprised to be able to kick high in the air with denim on lol, the comfort here really is unmatched.

@worn2fade Mate I think these look great on you! Sadly I missed out on getting a pair of these but i managed to buy a pair of the 25oz so I guess I can't complain. I've only had Samurai's 17oz zero+ denim before and the heaviest denim I have so far is the 888 UHR so I'm keen to see how these 25oz's go. Theyre set to arrive tomorrow!

@AskAxel there are a few stockist that still have them dude! Franklin and Poe being one of them & iron shop provisions recently told me they will have them soon. I heard samurai’s 25oz is awesome so I hope they work out for ya dude!

Post hot soak/hot wash photos. Measurements didn’t change ALL that much but I feel like they changed just enough.
Waist: 17.75” → 17.25”
Thigh: 15.25” → Same
Inseam: 32” → R/31.75” L/31.5”
Rise: 13.5” → 13.25”
Back rise: 18.5” → 18.25”
Hem: 11.375” → 11.25”Crazy amount of leg twist has taken place though. Not opposed to it, but definitely not something I’ve experienced with my IH journey (I never had their 16oz slub which I know is known for gnarly leg twist.)
