About an inch longer in the sleeves than I am used to in a type iii, but I think it works!

Alright, time to fit-check these bad boys.
I sent these off to Indigo Proof for a slight taper from the knee down to a 7" opening for wear with service boots and Chelseas. I was very pleased with the outcome of the work.
These have seen 1.5 days of wear so far.
I think I'm pleased with the fit, though I will say the thighs are a tad snug and the portion of the jean I am most eager to see loosen and relax. I know thighs change the least, but even a bit of loosening in that area would go a long way. It's less of a fit issue, and more of a feel issue…if that makes any sense.
I think due to the rigidness of the new fabric combined with snug thighs, there is what appears to be some extra room in the knees that too my OCD eye looks a bit pronounced at the moment. I am hoping with time and wear the fabric will relax and the jeans will stack slightly toward the bottom opening. It would help too to have a bit more room in the thigh to alleviate the appearance of extra room in the knee.
What do y'all think? Did I do ok?
