I think I over-measured as the jeans and chinos I went off have a lower rise so I was measuring a different bit.
To add another sizing data point, I think this caught me out too. I measured up my 34" waist Diesel jeans and was coming out at needing 37". I decided to go 38" to allow for a bit of shrinkage but found the 38's 177's were comically huge on me.
Also HebTroCo were featured in the Observer on Sunday;

From their twitter it sounded as though it generated a lot of orders - nice one lads!
Yay 🙂

We don't find the waists shrink. The legs do. It's to do with weft and warp. Also waists stretch (hah - in both ways) - but the trousers do get looser after a day or so. But not longer!
Yet to wash mine - but have worn them a lot. Really quite happy with them. Must stop stroking them.
Boo, 🙁
This waiting malarkey is getting me down!
Another 5 days wait, I blooming well hope I measured em right when they do get here!
I love mine, properly snug on first outing so if they do loosen then that's OK
Whereabouts is the banker pocket? I haven't found mine (if they weren't included then not bothered )

Yours shipped today. With you tomorrow.

It's a baffled pocket on the front side of the lining of the left pocket.
It's there!
Ha! Just noticed this post.
Great feedback from everybody......id love to be contributing....so my weekly question to Brant is did Founder 76 to Founder 19, shipped, not shipped finally ship?
😀
ps its VelocityBoys
Been wearing mine quite a bit since I got them.
Only advice I have is don't wear them on a boozy night out...those buttons, with individual baffles and French bearer do NOT make for quick loo breaks! Lovely keks though and I will buy another pair when funds allow.
Yay, my trousers look like they've arrived, shame I was out at work so can't pick them up till Saturday morning due to the local village sorting office only being open from 7:30 till 13:00 on weekdays ...
Trousers arrived yesterday and fit amazingly well. I'm wearing them in the office today.
I'd love a second pair when I can afford them.
4 weeks in and 2 trips across Europe in them. They are by far the best made and most comfortable set of keks that I have ever owned.
The website says that they are doing bottle green ones now. So that's my next pair sorted.
Really must sort sending mine back. Are there refunds for unworn ones?
Mine should be dispatched soon. If they live up to expectation I'll be keeping my eye on this. I see they are looking at cords and a different looser style. Not sure about the belt though, £101 is a bit punchy.

Belts are £125.
Or were. We sold 6 in a day.

Did you pledge to support us on Kickstarter and receive the trousers as a reward for that pledge?
I did...and I have no problem if there aren't any refunds. Who knows...they might be a collectors item in a few years and I might make a profit on them. 🙂
No worries, must have been because I was allegedly based in the US according to my work VPN and doing some weird exchange rate thingy. Anyhoo, got my trousers today and they are spiffing!

If you need a larger trouser it would be great to get you some GVNR's when we get them sorted.
Nah, don't need larger ones. Ah, forget it. I'll hang on to them and keep an eye out. They might be worth a few quid in a few years.
Well I picked them up from the sorting office this morning, number 82 has arrived a month after 81 did.
No nice packaging, letter, card in back pocket or even a tea bag.
Not that that really matters in the great scheme of things but leaves me distinctly underwhelmed compared to what others have posted.
I know it's a start up project and I've tried to be patient but I ain't exactly a satisfied customer.
Nice troos though.

I have simply no idea how that has happened as I packed yours exactly as I packed all the others.
So short of having a minor meltdown in the process, which isn't impossible, I'm somewhat confused.
A rescue package of postcards, beermats and teabags shall leave on Monday.
I don't know either, but I went early to the post office and brought them back and opened them up in front of Mrs P, and was like 'oh'.
Sort of made me feel like mine had been dumped in a bag and sent out cos I'd been a pain in the arse.

It's entirely possible I lost the plot.
Was there a wrap around them with repeating pattern and a sticker on it?
Nope, nothing at all.

Really odd.
Sorry.
I just got mine and they are awesome. The quality is next level! I bought my first pair because I know Ed, I'll but my next pairs because they are so incredibly nice. Even got my name on them 🙂
Yay, first ever brew of Yorkshire tea being drunk as I type. 😀
Thanks Brant, Ed,
Good luck with your brilliant new venture.
Charlie Higson tweeted today that his pair had just arrived!
Do they suit him?
Were they black?
[b]BLACK!!!![/b]
Do they suit him?
He said yes.
Charlie Higson will be wearing his HebTroCo pants on TV in 14 minutes!
Which is nice.
Just washed my 177's for the first time (30 deg.) and they've decided to go a bit anonymous. Anyone else had this happen? Not really bothered but HebTroCo are losing the advertising opportunity that is my arse.

My patch has re-bossed* too.
*made up word.
Who'd have thunk grown men would get so exited by trousers? Not me, but then my trousers don't have geometry. Good luck selling your fancy keks.
Ooh, grumpy person is grumpy.
For work for me they'd need lots more pockets, and I wear out trousers ridiculously quickly, but very tempting for smarter wear.
timmy - how did your patch stay that colour?
Mine looks like this now after one wash (40deg, fairy non-bio powder):

Sorry, what i meant was... WOW! TROUSERS! WOW!
(I'm only grumpy because there's a trouser shaped hole in my life 😥 )
Faded patch people - we are now more deeply embossing the 177 patches. If you would like you're fixing then ship them back and we will amend. Lifetime guarantee and all that.

Dunno, 30 deg, persil non-bio, slowest spin, washed on their own. Quite like the colour of your patch though!

Nah, really not bothered but thanks for the offer.
Washed mine as per instructions - no size change - no patch change - am content.
Eagerly awaiting corduroy version.

there were instructions? 😳
There's a corduroy version?! Where do I sign up?
I wasn't interested in Moleskin hence not getting involved in the first lot but corduroy is more like it.
Will there be a kickstarter for those?
