I hate to part with these, but they're just too slim for me! Maybe if I'd gone with 31's instead of sizing down, I'd be ok. Retail was $275, I paid $225 from Denimbar. I'm asking $150+ shipping. Quality is impeccable on these jeans! Perfect condition; total wear, maybe 24-32 hours. Pics available on request.

Here are the measurements:

Front rise-10

Back rise-14

Waist-15 3/8-15 1/2 (laid flat, measured back of waist band)

Knee-8

Hem-8

The waist is ok on me (I'm a true 31). They're just too snug in the thighs, plus I like a hem more in the 8.5 range. I absolutely love looking at and handling these jeans, but I'm just not comfortable in them. Might as well let someone else enjoy them and maybe buy some Svens in my true size and just pull the pocket stitching off.

If you like the denim and workmanship, but want more room through the thighs and a larger hem, I would recommend either the 1950 or 2010. I really like my Svens, but the workmanship and denim doesn't hold a candle to those of my KMW.
