It somehow does.. The black doesn't seem to shrink nearly as much everywhere else as the indigo.. we've tested a few pairs out already..

too big for you? based on the pics in the OP that's one of the slimmest looking pair of jeans i've ever seen, Japanese repro or otherwise. Even Dior Homme hasn't produced a pair of jeans that slim in a while...damn we got some skinny mofos up in the house.

If you've ever tried on both A77 and heavyweight denim, you will attest to the rigidness of 16+ oz denim... any slimmer and you'll feel like you're locked up in a straight jacket... for your legs... or something like that.

Pants like A77 ain't a problem.

yeah that makes sense. A77's pants are buttery soft from what i've seen...i can only imagine how pants that slim in rock hard raw denim must feel like.

Kiya,

For someone who wears a 32 in 4001BK would recommend a 32 in the indigos or size 1 down?

Depending on how slim you want your SEXFH05 to fit, I would suggest a size 29. Otherwise, if you're feeling ballsy (literally) then get a 28, though I personally would not do that.

wow.. so are these considered ultra skinny? based on the measurements it doesn't seem so, but the above post scares me

Depends on what you consider ultra skinny. Here is a pic of my FH3001 in a size 29:

At size 29, the hem measured ~19.25cm. Considering that, the SEXFH05 in a size 29 is slimmed down to ~18.25cm at the hem. That and a more robust denim weight per square yard is going to offer a very slim silohuette.
