On the fence on Kake sizing, XXL on villians and dual zip. Do I size down or TTS? 


If your taller which I'm assuming you might be based on your size then I would try TTS. I went down a size but I'm 5'6 so it works well. TTS kake I was swimming in and didn't have the cropped look at all.

Just for ***** and giggles I let my GF try on the JE Spring Cast 2 and honestly they fit her better than they do me --LOL (in the legs at least, the waist is way too big). Mind you, I'm 6'2 190lbs and she's 5'4 130lbs. Pretty funny though.

Given tour muscular thighs you might be better off Sizing up. Waist will be loose but the thighs will look nicer imo

Honestly I would have to have them altered if I went any bigger than a 30". They already have an inch of room in them as is. I'm going to try to wear them in for a week and see if they don't stretch out a little more. I don't need it to be drastic to be acceptable but I want a solid little bit of extra space in the thigh and seat to feel and look comfortable. If it doesn't work out I'll just wait for a 31" and get the waist taken in I guess.

I don't think it will be as drastic as you are wanting / prob need. Waist will be big for sure. You might have to wear a belt ( which happens a lot with skinny jeans for many).

 Is the Kake still feels oversized on you compared to the villian?

Depends what color. I don't have sage but my black Kake is smaller than the grey no doubt. There's atleast a half inch difference on all the measurements. Grey fits oversized a little cropped, black fits slightly oversized and cropped.
