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

New Lvc 'Bison' fit/wash on Tresbien looks OP for £180

Does LVC creating a new fit not go against the whole ethos of LVC?

It's not a new fit, just saying 'new' as in new season. Mid to high range washed denim prices are crazy these days so £180 isn't the worse i've heard.

Makes sense now. Aren't PRPS Japan starting at £400 nowadays? unwashed and non-selvage too

PRPS are nice jeans, not £400 of nice, but still nice

wouldn't pay £180 for any Levis

Peacocking, I know, but I think some people would be interested. My APC new cure, after their last wash. About 3 years, 5 washes and 1 repair.
