yep I pulled it out end to end, keeping the front and back tops of waistband even...my size 31 measured a few cunthairs larger than 31 but less than 32. Def nowhere near 33. And yea they are REALLY stiff, like cardboard. I did a cold soak and after it was dry I was afraid the legs would break off.

There's a few stores in LA that stock these, so you guys can always go and try them on. I've seen them at American Rag and Barney's NY (and I'd imagine they'd be at coop).

the weird guys arrived today. the color and fit are awesome, except for the waist. i got 32 and they are much looser in the waist than any other 32 i've had, raw or prewashed; looser than my broken-in average joe 32s. i think i should have gone -1. the length is spot on.

I just sent the Slim Guy Big Slub Indigo's back to DB today. The fit was okay and the denim was nice, but I just prefer a button fly + I didn't like how streaky they are. But, N&F seem to be a really good option for the money.

I think the sizing must be all over the place. I got the silk skinnyguys TTS and they're a perfect fit. They're pretty awesome, I'll post pics after I pick them up from my tailor tomorrow.

Well it's not like the waist is going to stretch any more if it's already loose as ****.
