No matter what size you buy, if your body shape or habits stretch denim, you can get 2-3" out of a waistband.

The sizing advice to buy 1" less than your true waist is partially a safety measure when ordering denim online as jeans can have a +/- 0.5" variability. You can fix a pair that is too small but a pair too big is a loss. If you put a pair on and it fits great, then it fits great. I'd prob buy.

thanks, think ill get them then. just hope they dont end up too loose in a couple of months, as its not easy to find them over here.

^ Do you hate belts? If you don't mind them, you'll never really have a pair of jeans that stretches too far.

That's a really good fit, Jekyll. The only reason I would size up is if you decide that the ass is too tight to be comfortable. The only reason I can't size down on WG's one more notch is because the ass grips me like a vice.

Long time lurker here. Does anyone have any experience with shopwharf.com? They have Weird Guy Deep Indigos for only 109.99. I'm usually a size 29-30 in Levi's so what should I size down to?

If your Levi's waist measures 32, you buy a 29 which has a 31 waist.

i've worn mine day in day out for 10 weeks or so, nothing too noticeable aside from back wallet and key wear, they'll probably get a soak in a week or two though, they've gone through a couple dance party nights

I've worn mine straight for about 3 months and they still look brand new.

I've had the 21oz deep indigos since november 09 and all I got are some pocket fades. Actually, it took me close to a month before I could get all the buttons up without a struggle. The whiskers and honeycombs feel etched into the denim, but there isn't much color fading on. I'm thinking it might be about 3 years before its first wash!

If they're not dirty yet, I'd hold off on soaking them altogether until they get dirty, especially since you've already gone this long without doing it. Once you soak the jeans, you're going to lose that initial sheen off of the denim, plus not soaking them is going to give you a little bit better contrast in your fades.
