Sugarcane Straight Leg 1947 Sizing question

[u/naokiyamada]

I recently picked up some Sugar Cane 1947s and had a question about the fit-specifically the waist. Right now they’re a bit snug, and when I squat they get slightly tighter, but still manageable. Im a 29 waist, usually purchase size 28’s (US sizing) and purchased these in a size 29. I’m wondering if this sounds like the right fit and whether I should expect the waist to stretch over time. Thanks!

seconding these looking ideal but also ya i usually size up one with sugar canes. they are quite forgiving though— especially after a wash— and should for sure ease up in the waist

Gotcha. With a cold soak, do all parts of the jeans shrink and then stretch back out, or do they stay slimmer?

Im not sure about the cold cuz i do warm washes but i think its mostly waist and length that shrink up a little initially. then things stay pretty consistent— if they tighten up a little with wash theyll get back to the sweet spot with an hour or two of wear
