———————————————————————————-

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

Any suggestions for washed denim, similar fit to Edwin ED55's (bit more room in the thigh area but tapered from knee down)

^Not sure if I'm right on this but I think some of them are wider in the leg than others.

You'd have to check the measurements tables though

Think it probably depends on whether they're raw black or not? I think there are two kinds of black NS. Could be wrong though.
