ES Jakimo Sizing

Hello everyone. I have a quick question- I picked up a pair of ES Jakimos today on the cheap at the Barney's outlet. My waist size in 7's, Diesels, and Lucky's has been 30, sometimes 31. I tried on the Jakimos in 30, and could barely button them up- the 31's were also skin tight. I tried on the 32's, and everything fit perfectly, save the waist, which was just a slight bit loose (could probably fit a thumb in there). I don't like my jeans very tight, but I don't like them saggy either- how much can I expect these to stretch? The 31's were VERY tight, but is it possible that they could stretch enough to fit? I'm worried that the size 32 I have now will stretch too much and will become unwearable. I did a search and there isn't much about these jeans. Has anyone had experience with Jakimo sizing?

Does anyone have any advice to offer? This may prove helpful to members in the future, as such information is not currently available on the forum, and those looking to try the Jakimo model for the first time would otherwise have little idea of what to expect after washing.

I am bidding on a pair on E-bay right now and they said that the waist measurement was as listed. Is the inseam approximately ~33?

What is the price at the Barney's outlet?

I have 2 pairs of Jakimos, a 32 and a 33. I generally wear a 32 in most everything, and would say the 32 Jakimos are true to size. The 33s are a little bit big. They do stretch a little bit between washes.

Price at Barney's was $39, same as Scoop's online deal for the Fultons and Hutch
