JEANS

theres hella skinny cuts 4 u out there

Which brands? I've looked around quite a lot.

If all else fails you can get womens jeans

im no skinny jeans expert as ive got huge sausage legs but these r v skinny http://uscheckout.apc.fr/browse.cfm/4,3381.html

Prob still too big, it's not like I'm mega skinny generally, I just have fairly stick insect ankles and judging by the size of jeans, my thighs are skinny also, I reckon those apc jeans would be v sloppy on the ankles.

I wear topman super spray on and they just seem well fitting to me.

even when it looks on the model like they're skinny the jean will arrive and be flapping everywhere.

I could try women's jeans I guess, tho my waist is 32 so, shrug emoticon.

I prob could get jeans and get them shortened and tapered and the thigh might be fine, but off the peg I'm fighting a losing battle

they have very small leg openings!

I prob should go try some on!

I got these recently and they were awful - http://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/rag_and_bone/slim-fit-denim-jeans/492251

Has reinforced my fears, I returned them obviously.

im luxuriating in these rn http://webshop.hankjobenhavn.com/products/245-jeans/1310-jeans-tapered---heavy-stonewash/

maybe check out their slim cut seem to have small leg opening/very tapered

really like most of the Han clothes

xpost yep I think I've considered their jeans before, Scandinavian brands tend to make v skinny cuts, apart from Norse

although after looking at those acnes maybe this is might be worth a look

it's prob a combo of short/skinny legs, the jeans will be too long and most are a little baggy so unless I am getting them retailored they will look shit from the shin down

or this might be one for my psychiatrist idk

as a child I was made to wear baggy hand me downs

yah nudies are pretty slim imo, I think they're northern european

or this might be one for my psychiatrist idk

You shouldn't get anything with the word 'slim cut' in them if you want skinnies

Yeah I know, they just looked skinny though in the pics. Slim is a word with a wide meaning in men's fashion, for every 40 you spend on trousers the cut gets wider.

I am p sure though that all slim jeans look shit on me, joking aside, think as I said, most are a bit too long but also baggy.

I wear these, like a 15 yr old emo, but I'm confident they look well: http://www.topman.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33056&storeId=12555&productId=17435337&langId=-1&categoryId=&parent_category_rn=&searchTerm=TM69D12JBLK&resultCount=1&geoip=home

In summer I'll wear a slim chino cos rolling it up tidies up the lower leg. Trousers are just a prob for me.

see you're going to a place called topman for pants, you need bottomman

I go there for underwear but it's just not well fitting enough I'm afraid.

I just use a small piece of phone cable now, it's all that fits under those jeans.

xp went there once and found the salesppl to be extremely passive

they need some direction for sure

hmmm... at W34, i think i'd feel pretty silly (and uncomfortable) wearing skinny jeans, but then i've never really tried wearing them. straight-legs feel pretty tight on me, but look baggier than i like or is fashionable.

don't wear skinny jeans because my knots won't fit

as someone with short and skinny legs i would rep for nudie's tight fits. i have a pair of their tight long johns with a 27 waist that i love and are by far the best fitting jeans i've ever had. i'm probably just going to buy another pair in a different colour because i can't be bothered to hunt around for ages for a pair that fit ok and then i inevitably get altered a month later when i'm fed up with them.

have any of you ever done the shrink to fit thing? any tips? does it work? for levi's, i'm thinking

i have a few pairs of 501s but damn if the fabric is not up to the role of being a jean. and/or the dimensions are just subtly off for my body. they fit just fine but the panels around each "quadrant" of the intersected seams at the crotch wear out in like less than a year. i've had a couple repaired and they still get shredded.

i feel like if i did this cowboy alchemy fit process, they wouldn't be stressed in this spot and would last longer. true? bullshit?

i tried it [maracas.jpg] and success was only partial

soo the 'official' levi's suggesch is to size up 2" waist and more on inseam (they only make inseams on the even numbers too); i read a bunch of blogs etc and found this one that seemed to have some clue what was up:

http://thighsbiggerthanyourhead.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-shrink-to-fit-stf-your-levis.html

and followed his process: +1" waist, +2" inseam

i wasn't able to wear them until dry, so i just hung 'em up overnight. and they didn't shrink that much! my normal size for pre-shrunk 501s is pretty snug, which i'm down with, and the shrink didn't get them close. the waist fit much higher, too. i wonder if the cuts aren't subtly more generous on the STFs to begin with?

about a week later, i gave the same pair a second soak (with a couple full pours of boiling water from my elecric kettle to goose the weak temp out my tub) and an overnight to dry and they were still a bit loose. that was about 5 days ago.

i think since then they've continued to tighten up tho; i'm wearing them now and they seem a little less roomy and didn't absolutely need to be cuffed.

so idk about cowboy alchemy but we'll see; in another month or so they could be my fave. i've also seen some people recommend doing STF w/o sizing up at all, maybe i'll give that a shot

Getting into babycord jeans for the summer. Got some really nice designs in fabric. & they're pretty unique. Just wish I could get more choices about fabric.
Wonder if there are still caches of psychedelic babycord lying around anywhere or if they've all already been found.
Just remember reading Anne-Marie of Sweet Charity talking about finding stuff in the early 80s. & I'm stuck with whatever I can locate now.

just bought some slim black UNIQLO selvedge jawn sfor $15 on clearance!

if you want a slim fit then basically just by your usual waist and at most 2" longer in the leg

So the "stretch selvedge" jeans (98% cotton 2% spandex) I got at UNIQLO less than a year ago already have a huge hole in the back pocket where my wallet is! I refuse to carry my wallet around anywhere else and it seems kinda nuts these got a hole in less than a year. I'm avoiding this not-100%-cotton selvedge in the future :/

This seems important

love moms

Got some Hudson jeans last month ($60 randomly at a TJ Maxx rack) and they're as good as any I've owned. Working for a start-up-ish company where denim is the status thing among the guys running the place.

My go-to pair for the last year or so has been a pair of Steven Alan jeans I got on sale - kind of your standard faded mid-blue without anything weird in the fades, just a very good fitting pair of classic jeans.

"denim"

idk where to go for quality affordable "denim" now that UNIQLO has elastic in their selvedge jeans and my back pocket wore out in less than a year :(

nudies on sale iirc. idk, I'm over the artisanal selvedge don't-wash shrink-to-fit denim lifestyle

here's another question: why are there so many fucking brands of jeans, why??? what does each new jean company offer that 10 others did not previously already?

gustin! just got nice medium-weight selvedge for 75 bucks during one of their stock sales.

black levis for me, they have become kind of a uniform

Gustin is annoying bc orders take so long to come and returns are a pain. The one thing I got from them, a pair of blue-blacks, was nice but their "slim" fit was way tighter than other slims the same size, and after I started lifting a little they no longer fit. I may eventually try again and get a straight fit.

that's why i buy when they have stock sales!

I also have a feeling their waist sizes are a little truer to size than the typical manufacturer, because the waist was always very tight even though in every other brand the same waist size fits me fine.

This saddens me, my 2yr old uniqlos are the shit.. was gonna buy some more this week, figured my long and perilous jeans journey had finally ended

the gap has pretty good japanese selvedge denim and you can usually find them on sale

xp yes, gustin waists are true to size unlike basically every other manufacturer.

I benefited from this because my friend ordered a size that was too small for him but perfect for me :)

there is no way i can bring myself to buy jeans online w/o first trying them on :(

I need new jeans, what should I get? I'm sick of Uniqlo's denim now that it's built for comfort but not durability (I get pocket blowouts in <1 year when I wear them regularly). I don't want to spend more than $100. Should I just keep getting $40 Uniqlo jeans every year or two?
