@neph93:

How much have you worn them? I’d wear them if the waist fits, the 21oz is forgiving and will relax a lot with use.

Thanks – I haven't worn them daily, but I'd say a few times a week for several months.

Fit question for y'all – I bought a pair of the IH-888S 5 or 6 months ago at Self Edge in SF. I got them in my normal waist size (32). The waist fits well, but I guess I was expecting them to break in/loosen up more than they have. Specifically, the hip/crotch area is a little too snug when sitting or moving, and the side pockets are difficult to get my hands into.

So -- is there any possible alteration that would help? Should I try to break them in more? Or should I sell them and size up + take in the waist next time?
