Got these a week ago. I'm already feeling the love. They are stiff as hell, but I like the lines. These were designed for me.

[T.J.]

how many shrinkage can i expect in the waist after a hot soak/wash?

[Giles]

No more than 1/2 an inch….

@W1N  Those look perfect on you  :-*….. enjoy!

I really want to get these but idk what size would be best. My rogue territories right now have a 32" waist, 10.8" thigh, 7.75" knee, and a 7.2" hem all after stretch. I'd like to have a sub 7" hem if possible and like a 7.5" knee. I feel like my optimal size for everything is between a size 29, 30, and 31 lol. I'd like to have a 29 with a waist around 30.5 or a little bigger and a thigh around 10.5-10.7 but maybe im just being too picky idk. what size would you guys recommend to get around those measurements

I guess what I'm asking is if you have a size 29 with something like a 30.5" waist cuz idk if the denim stretches 2". and maybe a smaller thigh than 10.9" but if not its cool because everything else is perfect fit wise

[Giles]

2"?  I would not put my body through that with the 25…..

[IndigoNoob]

Yeah thats why im struggling lol everything would fit perfectly in the 29 but the waist lol I'm down for getting 1.5" stretch but idk if I could handle trying to get 2"

[Giles]

Square peg, round hole.  Consider a different cut.

[IndigoNoob]

Yeah thats how I feel but i dont think there is anything slimmer in the 25. maybe ill just have to bulk up a bit and squat lol

Judging from my experience with heavyweight denim, I’m usually happy to have some more room in them because the denim itself is already so thick and restricting.
So maybe you should consider a size 30 where you have to stretch out the waist less drastically and I’m quite positive that the bigger measurements of the leg on paper don’t feel that big in reality.

That's a very good point actually. I have more room in my 666-XHS than any other jean and they still feel snug.

I have more room in my XHS than any other denim, and even with that room they literally bruised my hips and chewed up the back of my knees for two weeks or so. Allow yourself a bit of room

[IndigoNoob]

Yeah thats a good point. I just dont have much of a butt at all so the smaller measurements help with no diaper butt
