Bought so RRL jeans in 32x32, the waist is doable but has that unsightful bunching affect in the front when belted. Any advice? Is it worthwhile to tailor / even possible? Should I just try to resell and kop some 30x32's? I have 2 pairs (the darker and lighter selvege) got them for $108 altogether on ebay so it wasnt a super expensive purchase or anything.

Thanks.

yeah just buy a smaller size and sell off the bigger pair to recoup your losses. tailoring jeans is pretty hard , it's not like a pair of dress trousers.

i have jeans that are even 1 size too big and the bunching is very slight at the rear and in the front crotch and that throws off the whole look of the jeans for me where i dont even wear it anymore. jeans to me is all about fit primarily. if i dont like it one bit i won't wear it. tailoring it will just make it worse somehwo i think

resell them and buy jeans that fit. This is a great time to find a pair your size as it seems the RRL floodgates have opened all over the web.

I had a similar dilemma earlier this year. The amount of money it would take to get the right fit just isnt worth it. You also don't have a guarantee that they will turn out the way you want them to.
