Okay, now its getting ridiculous. Just measured the leg opening of my current pair, its 17’'.
Browsing through their website, i noticed, that leg opening appear to vary with color, approx. 1". Then i thought, maybe, i try my luck in different european stored (spain, belgium, netherlands). Same pattern, but then i noticed that i still had a tab for the US store open. Apparently, fit also differ between countries.
