———————————————————————————-

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

Bought some. Hadn't got around to wearing them until about 3 weeks ago and theres already fades setting in.

Really nice for the money but so incredibly uncomfortable without a soak which I don't want to do based on how quick they're loosing colour without.

Wouldn't actually mind a pair of Vis but need a 34" waist at least and considerable amount more length than you Eye-wink

@MTP, I saw those, but the denim looks 'grainy', if that makes sense. Don't think they'd fit my thighs either.

Any washed jeans that come in 30 inch leg? Can't take a 34 leg up as it ends up looking weird.

Always have the same problem. Really struggle to find a 30 leg in a washed selvedge, only one I can think of is Edwin ED-55 in a burner wash, problem is it looks like a slightly broken in raw denim (which I have plenty of).

Try the unbranded brand. Seem to be great for the money from what I've read. I'm trying to source a pair of the 21oz skinny at the minute. Looking at the dimensions on denimgeek and the need to size up, they are larger than APC. 10% off in the GJ section too.

Nice concept, and jeans look good.

I'm going to Tokyo in July for a week and I'm planning to buy a pair (or 2) of jeans when I'm over there. Obviously I want to buy a pair jeans that are made in Japan possibly unwashed (or the second pair will be beautifully stone washed) with slim straight fit. any recommendations in terms of where to buy and what brands? Any comment will be appreciated! Cheers!
