@Cymro thanks!

@Cymro hey, I just bought some 1955 od’s. In this fit did you get them hemmed? I’m kinda liking the bright stitching opposed to the stained hem it comes with

In the sample pictures, are they hemmed, which is making the yellow thread so bright because new stitching? @Alex

@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

@Alex that’s awesome Alex. Thank you. But going off of what you just said, anywhere around 32 would probably be money.

@Alex thanks for clearing that up. That definitely added to my original confusion on how to size these being that they are high wasted. Would you say that I could get away with a 31.9 (size 32) if I currently have a well fitting 634s that’s sized 32.5 since these have a higher rise?

@twinning Rudi should be wearing a 32 at most. 34 is crazy. I think the sizing confusion for this pair might make me skip it at this point. Ha

Excited for these. have a sizing question if anyone wants to chime in. I comfortably were a 33” waist measurement. I could wear a touch smaller but not too much. Would you go with the 31.9 and hope for the one inch of stretch or go with the 33.3 and hope it doesn’t get too loose in the waist? Or is this a pass because it won’t work. I have have a 32.5” 634 that eventually stretched to to a 33; that works well for reference.

Has a high rise straight leg with no taper, or at the very least the hem of 634, ever been made?

@kojimastreets Congrats! Olmec is for the victorious. Have a great weekend

@goosehd Understood. Gave them a warm washer cycle last night. It def got the rest of the shrink out of them.

@goosehd thanks dude! But this is post soak. I did about 45 mins in hot water bathtub

Post soak, first day of wear. The waist is great. Little pull up now and then just like any denim. Thanks for the insights @goosehd ! I’m enjoying them. Don’t think I’ve had a high rise since I was a kid, so getting used to them is interesting, but love the fit.

@pechelman damn that looks good. What you sippin on, vodka cran?

@kojimastreets is that’s puro, or partially made in Brazil? I can’t recall if I’ve ever had a filler or wrapper from Brazil before Looks tasty

@WithBongInHand that is a well constructed stick my friend. 🤌

@AdamJ Thats great to hear Adam. Really appreciate the input and I look forward to getting them. Have a great Sunday!

@goosehd right, undersizing is def never the way to go. I’m getting that I made the best decision that was available to me. But when I get them on Monday it’ll be the test of whether they will work out in the long run. Thank you

@Jord thanks Jord. Appreciate it. Yeah, I think that best case. Def better than undersizing

@goosehd hey! Hope you’re having an awesome Saturday. You commented on my uhr 888 post a few days ago and just wanted to follow up with the conversation here. I got a slightly bigger pair than my ideal, by about half an inch, because the size lower I wouldn’t be able to put on at all, especially after I do the initial soak. Did I make the right decision or is it just one of those thing where maybe the jeans don’t work out for me at all with the given sizes?

Ideal 33.25
What I got 33.8
Next size lower 32.2
