that's a yes to the +2 inches and will certainly stretch some more, especially in da butt.


Yeah my 33s are at a 36 probably good amount of excess fabric at the waist and some diaper butt as well. 32 thighs are too slim for my liking

Would be real nice (maybe they've done it already) if RRL would do a black denim jacket like the pics below.

My waist is like 33.5 but I have a bigger butt and thighs. My thighs have stretched maybe .5 inches. I have low straights though

Finally got myself a pair of RRL Slim Fit (rigid) after much contemplation. Lets see how these stay up with the abuse and fade.

As long as you sized correctly, you wont have much to worry about. They are some of the best jeans Ive handled and they age gracefully. enjoy

The slim rigids and slim fits in general are medium rise. I have a few pair in 31x32 and the rise is about 10". And they are not skinny. They are tapered but the seat and waist are on the looser side so it probabl works best as a slouchier fit.


thanks - I think these are my next purchase.

Oh yeah. Got them spot-on in terms of sizing. Will wear them with a belt as these stretch quite abit on the waist. Heard that the rigid ones are a ***** when it comes to fading. But i still chose these over the one-wash ones despite ppl claiming they fade fast. I prefer my fades with deeper contrast and character.

Neither of these fade fast at all, takes a lot of wear to break them in

^agree about the slow fade

a quick PSA - I got these on eBay and they're terrific (super thick herringbone cotton/linen blend $460 Charleston buckleback 33 / 32's but they run a little big for me (in the thighs/seat) so I'm going to flip them back on eBay for what I paid ($199) as opposed to spending more on alterations. Really thick fabric - like 1930's thick and one of the best buckleback's I've seen from RRL. These look like they walked off the new Great Gatsby set. If somebody has a size 32 that they would trade, I would consider it. If you are a true 34, these should fit great

PM me if interested before I re-list it
