Wait... so you got 32's or 33's? In any case, post up pics!

Wait, you sized up two? I was going to size down one, is that bad? Did anyone who sized down get theirs yet?

Sorry - my typo - I got 33's. I couldn't button the 31's up all the way. I had to suck in to button the 32's up and the 33's were pretty snug but not unbearable. I did a quick hot soak and then put them on while they were wet. While they were wet it was a struggle to button the top button and the inseam was noticeably shorter. didn't soak them for very long so I'm going to do a second soak tonight to try to get all the shrink out of them right away.

Dude, I couldn't even button my "true" size. Sizing down one would be brutal. I was on the fence between a 32 or 33. I could probably have gone either way went with the 33's figuring that it's a lot easier to do some minor tailoring than to deal with something too small to wear.

Anyway, after wearing them all day (in the rain too, guess these got soaked twice), I really like the jeans. The weight makes for a really comfortable pair with a bit of stretch and my fears that they'd be too light for 'winter' in Virginia were unfounded. These jeans also bleed like a motherfucker.
