Couldn't find another suitable thread to put this so had to start a new one Oops

Right, I would like some jean reccomendations, after some normal fit maybe slightly baggier than the normal on here, like Nudie RR's but SLIGHTLY tapered instead of bootcut. Preferably washed but I don't mind dry either, budget upto £100 and size 34x34.

I have searched everywhere but can't find anything I like, thanks alot for any help!

Cheap Monday do a loose tapered cut I think. Witts has a pair that sound like they might be what you're after.

caliroots might have them.

Vague I know but it's all I can think of.

Might as well wait for the Even Steven fit of Nudies. The top is like the RR and the bottom more like the slim jim. Check out the Nudie website and mynudies for more info.

Thanks for all the help, I think it is gonna have to be the Even Stevens though and they appear to be selvedge? I just hope they don't take ages to come out out like the previous Nudies have. Levis look good and might consider them later. I love sugercanes but far too rich for my blood.

They have started doing tapered styles. Slim Pant and Miner Pant both are. Don't be put off by the name Slim Pant though. Carhartt's version of a skinny/slim is pretty much a regular tapered denim.

Nice one on the Edwin's welshjam, just what I'm after. Any Edwin-heads out there advise on what is the looser fit - 750s or the 900s?

Yeah, fantastic jeans, great guy too. Laughing out loud

If you're on a stricter budget though, the LVC 55s are a great choice- really comfy fit, the perfect antidote to that pete doherty skinny look IMO.

proper bloke's jeans!!

As others have mentioned, i heard carhartt are doing some good simple raw styles at the moment too, so maybe that is an option if your budget is even tighter.

p.s. I dont think much of those Edwins, I had a pair of the european made ones, as they are, and I wasnt wowed by the fit, and the denim was thinner than I expected.

I've had a pair off him, highly recommended, took about 4 days to deliver from Japan (including a weekend).
