I want a pair of the deadstock but I just want to be sure on size. My true waist is around 33/34 but most pants I get are 32 (J. Crew) or 31 (KMW 1980's). I'm thinking I should get a 32 in these but just wanted to be sure!

I am cagey and unpredictable. I've totally been wearing gray and white t-shirts!

Really I'm looking for a straightforward pair of black jeans, which I don't actually own. The ones I have and like are coated; the raw ones I have, I don't like.

My size 33 actually has a 35.5" waist (17.75" side to side).
Thanks so much for your order and for the feedback. We used the measurements from the actual patterns, so there can be a .25 or .3" difference from doubling the waistband. Measuring the top of the waistband gets about 17.3, but perhaps you're matching the top and bottom and measuring it across? Please drop me a PM, and we'll get it sorted for you.

If you've got significant room at the waist, then I'd go down a size on them. The difference in the thigh is pretty minimal. PM me with your name, we can send you the smaller size so that you can compare them and see which works better.

We'll be restocking this coming Friday. I've got three big-ass boxes coming from LA. Once they arrive, I'll do a full stock count and book in all the new inventory. We should definitely have a 31 for you.

Oh my god, the prospect of making women's jeans scares the hell out of me. It's hard enough selling them from other brands in the store. If I had my own personal warehouse of Xanax, maybe we could swing that. How about you guys? Any selvedge for the honeys?

I'd recommend the 31. Most of our customers have gotten the best fit out of sizing down one from their typical pant size.

I love his playing too. He is incredibly melodic, plays zero BS, tone and time are right on. Very underrated. It's nice when people recognize the avatar and comment.

Back on topic, thanks for the help, Mike.
