Long overdue, but here are the fit pics. I am currently a bit heavier than I was when I placed the order, still need to lose a few kgs. You can also probably see that the jeans would fit better with said kgs out of the way.

Wow! I didn't even notice your misgiving about the fit. It looks so good it transcends fit. And it is not bad fitting at all, just a few details that are easily glossed over with such visual impact.

@torfjord , you would better not sell it...
