I just received a lightly used pair of the tapered today. The stitching is definitely better than my NF indigo revivals.

danracer: Looks great! How many soaks?

I've been wearing mine for about 7 months now. 3 months on/off (1-2 times per week) and 4 months pretty much everyday. They're smelling somewhat bad now so I might soak them soon.

BlueOwl has measurements that I think are fairly accurate. Measure yourself then look those up. I think you should be around a 28/29, as Tapereds fit like WGs, although WGs may be 1 size bigger than UBs.

Has anyone else had an issue with the inseam length being irregular, as in the two legs being uneven length. My pair of the ub101's that I bought just about a week ago has a discrepancy of about an inch, and I did measure them properly. This is an issue for me when I cuff them. Thinking of getting them hemmed?

I bought a pair of UB301 in 34 and 36 waist. The 34 is pretty damn tight in the waist (definite discomfort) and the pockets are pretty useless at this point, can't really get my hands inside them, They fit pretty nice everywhere else though. The 36 is immediately comfortable to wear and fits comfortable too but feels slightly too baggy/ flowy.

How much will these jeans stretch out? Should I just tough it out and wear the 34 a few times and have it stretch to my body? Levis 501's 34 waist fit similarly to the ub301's and they stretched wonderfully after a few wears and are very comfortable now but I hear that selvedge stretches significantly less?
