———————————————————————————-

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

Black and indigo aint really 'double denim' though is it. When people say double denim, they're on about


Which will always be a no-no.

Those IH above look great

Could someone/anyone do me a massive favor and check their local GAP for those Japanese selvedge raw denim in 34x34. pickup would be appreciated but even if you just provide me with the store's phone number I'll call them myself. Sold out in the one in Brum and I'm in real need of some beater denim.

Wouldn't normally buy anything by Marc Jacobs but these were discounted pretty heavily & looked / fitted quite nicely - http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/marc-by-marc-jacobs-jeans-slim-fit-in-indigo-denim?ID=658816 Anyone had any experience with MXMJ Denim?

gizmo - could try the ol raws in black, they're fairly slim, more NS fit, thick starchiest/stiffest raws I've ever had and jet black - i got a pair tapered to more of a ps fit (selling soon 34/30 as never wear them). I reckon you could size down on them 1 easily as mine are fairly generous in the waist and been hot soaked twice, still loads of starch in them!

@phikz think the Gap Jap is gone from all stores now. Was at the one on Oxford Street couple days before christmas looking to pick up a pair, guy in there said they were all sold out except a couple of pairs in odd sizes and he thought that all other stores had be rinsed as well.

That's a shame, had a feeling that was the case though. Should have just bought them when I had the chance.

They are too straight IMO. No taper at all gives the impression of a slim with a slight bootcut. ED-55 if you have thighs or ED-80 if you are slim enough on the thigh/ass.
