Okay, I have measurements now. This is on the selvedge size 33s. Numbers are preshrunk / after shrinking.

Across top of the waist: 40.5cm / 39.5
Front rise from crotch to waist above button: 32 / 31
Rear rise from crotch to waist: 37.5 / 36.5
Inseam from crotch to hem: 91 / 89
Seat across back pocket corners: 56 / 55

I am probably going to go with a 32 for myself. I tried these on and they are pretty loose compared to how I like them. I will have more later but I wanted to post these while I still remember what the numbers mean.

I must mention that there are no inseam sizes on any of the jeans. They are all about a 34 inseam.

Uniqlo 30" waist cotton/linen jeans for me please.

I wonder how the weather in Japan is now. Korea usually bears the brunt of all the crappy stuff.

i'm buying true to size, aware that these will shrink a tad

figure if they are a bit loose, they will shrink just right

if they are just right, i'll dry clean them and keep them looking "dry"

J... If it's no trouble, size 31 in the selvage would be great. Thanks in advance.

True to size +1: I prefer my jeans looser than tighter at the waist/hips. For example, I am wearing a pair of APC New Standards (raw) right now in size 32. 31 would have probably fit perfectly, (30's were too tight - about right at the waist, but really tight on the thighs). but I like the extra space in the 32s. Nearly all my jeans are loose at the hips. Why do you think like belts so much?

I'll take a pair of dark rinsed denim size 30 if that's possible. I would, of course, pay you through paypal. If you want a PM with more details don't hesitate...

thanks a lot
