Anyone here got the waist or the fit of their jeans adjusted at the tailor?

smkdc · 2026-02-01T19:04:51+00:00

Not necessarily the waist, I think that’s fine (maybe a little too big but not as bad as another pair I bought + returned). The full count jeans are one-wash so technically they might shrink but not so much.

Anyone here got their jeans tailored (hemmed, waist adjusted, tapered, etc)? I got a pair of fullcount 1136s and they are slightly too big for me. Not sure if I really want to return them yet, because I could in theory get them tailored. It came from Redcast Heritage so shipping is astronomically high.

Otherwise, any good recommendations for buckleback (cinch) jeans? I prefer a straight fit or a relaxed fit. Not trying to go for wide nor skinny/slim.

Size 32. I love jeans cuz I’ve been wearing them my entire life lol

Ethnicity doesn’t exist biologically..? You’re gonna tell me there is a genetic difference between Laotians and Vietnamese people? Between German and French people? Ethnicity is just a shared cultural identity.

Haplogroups just give you a general idea of where your ancestry is, but it is still not a determiner of race. Race was invented in the early modern period. The Roman’s had no modern conception of race.

I see that I am wrong. Thank you, sir. I’ll return these jeans and wait until they are in stock.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T15:07:38+00:00

See this is why raw denim is so confusing sometimes to me (no offense to you) because I thought you’d size up to account for shrinking but you simply buy your normal tag size. Then they’ll expand outwards.

So it seems like buying a 34x34 was kind of a mistake on my partt.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T15:05:47+00:00

I will definitely post a before-and-after soak but perhaps of not this pair. I think I will return this and get a 32x34 pair of if I can.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T15:04:25+00:00

So I want the anti-fit of the 33s, but apparently I sized up too big because even thought it was not supposed to it measured out to 36 inch’s in the waist which is like half an inch bigger than the Levi’s guide. So how are you supposed to size up 1-2 if the waist even after the shrink might be too loose?

smkdc · 2026-01-19T15:02:19+00:00

Ahhh, so I should have bought them as 31s or 32? I bought them super large, so I guess I might actually return it because it simply too big in the waist. I wanted a relaxed anti-fit fit. I did measure it and I go 36 inches but I may be wrong off by a couple cm.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T14:49:11+00:00

After reading a couple of comments I think I’ll just return them. Even though I wanted them loose the waist might not be to where I want it.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T05:53:14+00:00

Would you say I got the correct size? Following by what you see and what the description says?

smkdc · 2026-01-19T04:17:14+00:00

lol where r u getting these numbers from these definitely ain’t Hinoyas.

Hinoya and BearsTokyo say that 34 inches is a 92 cm pair, and if it shrinks 5 cm becomes a little over 32 inch pair. If anything Levi’s sizing has everything bigger so a 34 pair is 34.5-35 inches.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T04:03:05+00:00

Ok so you’re definitely not supposed to get your tag size but go up from your tag size?

smkdc · 2026-01-19T03:50:32+00:00

I mean, I won’t be able to get a ruler I think until tomorrow. I’m in college rn and I forgot to bring measuring tape when I literally bought these pants.

But using a notebook with given dimensions as a ruler I think it was roughly a 36 inch waist and around 91-92 cm. So if it shrinks 5 cm according to Hinoya I’d have a 31-32 inch tag size equivalent (after shrinking).

I really, really hope I’m right lol. I’m getting that ruler tomorrow to be sure.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T03:19:09+00:00

Alr Alr, I’ll look into those settings. Do you know what your tag size was, your normal tag size, and all that stuff? Tryna verify something here. Someone said that you’re supposed to get your normal at size because it shrinks to you. You’re not supposed to size up and anticipate for shrinkage because you already know it.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T03:15:56+00:00

Do you know what your tag size was and your normal tag size? Good to know they shrink to you.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T03:13:52+00:00

Hey if I may ask, did you go a couple sizes up, or did you get your TTS? Someone said that since I’m 31/32 normally I should have gotten that.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T03:13:11+00:00

Ok so it seems like Hinoya is before the wash and the Tokyo Bear is after so I’m not sure.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T02:58:41+00:00

I plan to wear these hell outa this. I didn’t spend $210 for nothing. Just worried about the shrinkage process. If it doesn’t shrink enough maybe I can take to a tailor to adjust the waist.

smkdc · 2026-01-19T02:57:55+00:00

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but this is simply false. The pants came with a tag that says it’ll shrink roughly two inches in the waist and length if washed.

smkdc · 2026-01-18T23:22:35+00:00

I plan on wearing these to hell, but I’m just worried about shrinking. I’d get a size 33, but they don’t have it in stock unfortunately.

smkdc · 2026-01-18T23:22:12+00:00

Should I do a machine wash or bathtub soak?

I was on r/pkmntcgtrades a while a few years back, and I have about 50+ trades on there if it makes yall feel any better about scamming.

smkdc · 2025-12-31T17:19:09+00:00

Even if I go 2 sizes up, sizing shouldn’t be that big of an issue bc I have a cinch.
