———————————————————————————-

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).

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

Washed can fit big in the waist! Would generally size down unless you want to sag, in my experience anyway

Had 4 pairs of washed max and none of them fitted big on the waist. As R said, bit small if anything.

Thanks for the good rep, Mr Black.
First post on here as just joined this forum. Looks like there is some great denim debates going on. Looking forward to sharing in them.

Good to see you here Danny.

Absolutely fucking shite service from han kjobenhavn. Bought a pair of their mid-wash jeans and after three weeks the stiching on outerseam on both legs was coming apart, sent em back for a replacement, took them a month to ship the new pair after numerous emails asking for the tracking details, only got a response after posting on their facebook. Ended up asking for a refund because I didn't wanna wait any longer, they ignored it and shipped the pair anyway. real lazy.

Just got the Iron Heart 555-01.

They are the Super-Duper Slim 21oz Indigo Selvage, but I've sized up 1 so they're not really that slim at all. Amazing quality and nice to not have to fanny around with soaking and shrinking and all that bollocks for once.

Will be wearing these for a very long time..

Anyone got fit pics of any Iron Heart shirts? Trying to work out if I can pull off 'double denim' and use one as a summer jacket/shirt.

edit: nice Ruben. Was close to copping those but got some Flat Heads this time instead.

My raw black 33" New Standards are pretty tight everywhere on my (thick) legs. The waist is too snug but I know they give out a lot with a bit of wear. The 34s were still quite slim on my legs but a tad loose around the waist, or would be if they stretched at all. Is this par (no Pin Money) for the course with APC raws? Cheers.
