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

sorry brehs, I'm high and drunk in the daytime, I did npt mean to quote myself.

Just found a few post wash pics, quartz and red selvage ED39s, both first wash. Was wearing the quartz pretty much daily for 6 months, selvages occasional weekends over 3 years. No idea how some on here get such epic fades

Depends what you do in them too. If you sit around watching TV or browsing fuk for 3 years you won't be getting epic fadez regardless of brand. I think people tend to be scared of washing their jeans because they are afraid of not getting fadez so they tend to be careful with them. Wear them for everything and then wash when dirty. No way I could go 3 years without washing mine. They would be disgusting.

Need some new denim not sure what to go for last few pairs I bought were edwins ed 55 ed 75s, have previosly bought paul smith, prps, stone island, true religions, was thinking of edwin rainbow selvdge, nudies or apc anyone recommend a decent pair for 80-160 mark, I am 5,11 slim but have bigger thigh, thanks

APC are all pretty slim in the thigh. I would look at Lee 101 personally if your ok with a zip fly.

Not all that keen on lee's, edwin and evisu fit me best thinking about nudies just don't know what style of them the last ones I tried on were thin finn I think and were so tight I couldn't get them all the way up

thank you will keep my eyes on that

You'd never get fadez on a Quartz denim, that's a fairly lightweight budget fabric (even has a bizarre shiney coating).
As for the selvedge "occasional weekends" is your problem. 6 months constant wear on red selvedge and you should see results.

I think Lee 101 are hugely under rated on here. Just find them too regular a fit. The Zip fly are 101Z(ip)
