Acne - fit true to size

APC New Standards -size down 2 or even 3 from true waist size

APC New Cures - size down 1 or 2 from true waist size

April 77 - size down 1 or 2 from true waist size

Dior raw 19s and 21s - have vanity sizing and are labelled as two sizes smaller than actual size

Edwin Nashvilles - size down 1" - quite a different fit to most jeans out there though (massive rise, loose at thigh and comparitively tapered at the leg). See the Edwin denim fit guide.

Julian Red - fit small, so maybe true to size on raw and possibly size up on non raws

Nudies - size down 1 or 2

Raf by Raf - true

Ring - true

Most probably, 25% is about as good as it gets.

Just got my first pair of APC NS. Top button is quite tight (not doing it up at the moment in case it pops off) - should the waist stretch out quite quickly on them?

how is the waist going to stretch if you're not putting any stress on it?

Yep already top button closes no problem after 6-7 hours of wear. Looking forward to them loosening out slightly in the thigh but seem great quality so far.

Anyone know anything about www.wearejoeandco.co.uk
Just stumbled across them on twitter and a few decent stores following them.
Currently have 3 stores sell them in Manchester and 1 in Bridlington.

Looking for some lighter solid-coloured denim for the summer. I really like the colour of these, but I'm after something with a slightly wider hem and not tapered - anyone recommend anything?

You're after Greencast Denim, Naked & Famous do some with an cool pink selvedge detail, might be too slim? fades on Greencast denim are in my experience awesome if you do a no-wash thing

I think Nudie jeans are getting better. I'm going to buy some for weekdays.

Cheap, they've lost the orange shit on the back on most. There is a big range with no high end fashion frills or ASSociations.

agree with you guys on the DD. have a question of my own that has probably been asked many times. how do i shrink denim without comprising the possibility of having epic fadez and shit? talking about diors if that's relevant.

echoing comments about The Doctor, have had a few things with him recently, all done extremely well and is a nice bloke to speak to as well.

Nice one mate. Their greencast slim ones look good, but I can't get on with skinny myself. Do you know if they fit TTS, or best to size up/down?
