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

When do you reckon then?
They don't fit too bad, a bit snug.
Mostly got them because they were a bargain at a tenner.

EDIT: Comparing what I can see of the interior tag and the info on here http://levisguide.com/tags/tag.html They're made between 70&85

Asymmetrical rolls aside, I like the fit.

Some advice please.
Having got the Diors that I posted a couple of weeks back and now some Lanvin and CP trainers I want a couple of pairs of slimmer denim with around a 19 or 20 cm foot opening. I want washed please. Any recommendations for less than £100. I was going to try the Wings and Horns from Peggs but they've gone now.

Thanks

Found these Levi's in a charity shop for £10 today.
Best find I've ever had.

32 waist, 8 inch leg opening.
White line selvedge. Red tab doesn't have Levi's written on it?
No metal rivets in back pockets.
From the scraps left of the size patch, it was obviously that 'paper' type, not leather.
They've been washed and worn a lot so all internal tags have lost their markings

Anyone know how old? I guess 80s.

Not having Levis on the tab is a trademark issue and they are legally obliged to do it on every tenth pair made.

You can tell the age from the marking on the buttons and the rivets on the front pockets if you can be arsed but I guess 80's as they stopped doing selvedge in the mid 80's and didn't use it again until LVC started iirc.

Copped a pair of them acne roc lana in the sale there, surprised how loose they were in the waist compared to my other acne, can I shrink them in the wash? says on the label allow shrinkage of one size.

i'd return it tbh, after wearing they'll stretch out again. personally not a fan of them loose/straight cut anyway.

Sad rookie mistake man! considering you cant return it you might as well try shrinking it, if it fits wear it with a belt at all times and maybe you can get away with it

give them a real hot wash and then never wash them again. they will fit perfect after that.
