First Cast Coast 2, size 34, 181 lbs. Will they stretch even more? Size down? I know the trend is towards looser fits, like Daze or Kane, but I'm looking for opinions purely on Cast 2 aesthetics.

My Carbons size 34 are quite loose now while the Washed Graphite are perfect in 34.

How’s the waist feel? If it’s not too tight, size down if you want the true Cast 2 skinny cut and look. Looks like you’ve got some extra room to me

You definitely have room probably could size down but I like the fit actually.

About half an inch too big in waist already, out of the box. If they are like the Carbons, then I expect another inch to stretch.

@blue2007 size down, you will inherit massive, unflattering butt sag and dreadful crotch fold once those joints stretch

they should really revisit the cast2 fit, the waist is way too large in comparison to the leg

I think you nailed it. The issue now is that the denim is tight around calves. So that's a concern for sure if I size down, unless they stretch a bit around the lower leg too.

Cool, thanks. Been trying to find out for a minute, kind of frustrating to want to spend $2k on a ******* jacket yet no one from JE can be bothered to give me a reply.
Broooo you mentioned it before it restocked too, I remember you asking in like august. I’ll proxy for you if you want, just gotta advise me on the shipping

Fully agree with this. If I size for my waist, the legs are too tight. If I size for my legs the waist is too loose. They’ve never fit me quite right

Same. It's always tricky with me with the hem also since I wear size 13. So if I size down, then sometimes the hem gets too small too. Maybe I just need to embrace the Daze and Kane movement :)

My tts is a 34 and I’m 200+. The fit doesn’t look bad but I do agree if you want a true cast 2 fit you should size down. These look like my size 36 cast 2. Like @Wally_SF said, the front fold annoys me lol. I usually rock longer tees when I rock my size 36s.
