Maybe the one you tried have been tried many times before you did and it stretched more than it should, but my feeling is that they run tighter than other safado jeans I own.
Just for comparison, I own safado 8MX, 8C0 and 880W in size 32, and I can easily rise up my knees to my waist but I can't rise my knees that much with the 880I and 882B...
But like I said, I worn them a couple of times, they stretched a bit and they still fit a little (little) tight but they look perfectly well like that and jeans still comfortable overall.
