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

Laughing out loud
Sorry i know you couldn't wear them all regularly but do you live in one pair ( like me) or you got some crazy rotation system going on?

ad infinitum.

Cool

Will probably get laughed off for this basic question but want to get a pair of jeans tapered via the denim doctor but not sure what chain stitching is Oops

Is it worth the extra £5?

I am the opposite of noble and have about 3 pairs of jeans. I have bought loads but I can't keep hold of anything longer than 6 months.

A pair of PRPS I paid £380, liked them so much then one day thought they were bollocks. I was in a bad mood and couldn't be arsed to eBay so chucked them in the bin. I do this with so many expensive clothes. A few months ago I ran out of money and thought FUCK I've got no clothes to wear!!!

They were bigger than expected! so to reduce the waist anymore would effect the look, 16.5 is too big for me
