my double knees got here on Saturday. They're great. @willy cheesesteak was right to grab all 3 colors.

I've been wearing them low off the hips.I had to size up from M to L on the double knees but even if I went TTS the fit on these confuses me. Would appreciate input from Antonio / anyone else. They feel huge in the waist (yes yes, belt solves all) but the inseam feels short (and I have short legs!). Do I wear these at my natural waist (since they're high rise) and basically show ankle, or on my hips? Cuff? Puddle? Big shoes only? I really want to hang on to these but I'm having a hard time accepting a fit.
I also received my Eide cords today. I have already washed cold and tumble dry on low and there was minimal if any shrinkage.Just got the cord Eides, tried them on quickly, and took a waist measurement. I went with the same size as the Molloy tweed version (L). The waist is in line with the size chart: 33". The waist of the tweed version is 34.5", but they've probably stretched some with wear. Since they sit above the hips because of the rise anyway, I found the cords comfortable.
The inseam of the cord version is shorter than the tweed, which is better for me.
The fabric is a warmer tone than I expected based on the photos but not a significant difference. It's also quite soft.
Now my only dilemma is whether to throw them in the dryer, since I'd like them to stay as they are.
Super helpful. Thanks!I also received my Eide cords today. I have already washed cold and tumble dry on low and there was minimal if any shrinkage.
Will let you know how they are when mine get in. Pretty excited about them.Kinda debating those undyed cords...
