      I went closer to my actual size and wish I'd sized down. I notice very little shrinkage when I wash and they've stretched considerably. My other pairs all started at around 30.5 and stretched to about 31.25 which is comfortable. My XHS started at 31 and are closer to 32 now. These are not going to be a comfortable break in either way. Sacrifice a bit more and get a better final fit

        @Sailor_eh send @Winchy an email with your size and they might have a pair closer to the actual measurements you want. I used to be really Gung-ho about getting the XHS to stretch. But now I like having extra room. I'm also older and considerably fatter than you are… so it depends on what you want.

        I personally think this cut has a low rise and slim thigh so depending on how you prefer to wear your pants the next size up would give your butt a little extra coverage. The XHS has a very think union of seams on the the back below the waist and above the pockets. And this cut on me put is where it made my butt sore when I wore these too tight.Probably too much information... 🙂

                  Thanks @swiss-jeansfreak for posting these. Don't quite understand why the pics are not embedded in the post and only viewable as attachments…....technology is always tricky.
                  I quite like them, and trust @Seul feels he has advanced them into good -or at least appreciative- hands. Or onto such legs in this instance.

                  Ruedi and I are in negotiations to possibly hand them over to him. If so, this will happen in the summer, until then, I will rock them, as I've done today again.

                  Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                      I love them a lot and would easily break them in for another 300-400 wear days.

                      @501/IH:
                      I'm probably too stupid. I have no idea, why those pics are embedded and not visible directly

                      @xtcclassic Yeah they deserve some more raw denim love and they should be updated then too

                                      It's a special leather belt from the Heavy weight denim championship contest 2013-2015 which we could get over the organizer Gavin Smith aka @Megatron1505
                                      He could tell you more about it since I forgot it.
                                      I love this beautiful belt more and more
                                      I love i

                                            Hi
                                            It's a special leather belt from the Heavy weight denim championship contest 2013-2015 which we could get over the organizer Gavin Smith aka @Megatron1505
                                            He could tell you more about it since I forgot it.
                                            I love this beautiful belt more and more
                                            I love i

                                            Is it available for sale anywhere ?
