    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

     They don't give a back rise measurement, though, that's what whodini was referring to.

    Naked and famous denim

     The Oni collab does qualify as higher quality denim. That jean uses Oni's flagship denim and is constructed by Oni in Japan, not by N&F. Oni Blue cut is looser fitting than the WG, and it has a straight leg. If you like the WG fit, I would go with the collabs.

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

     I haven't seen the new Oni low rise tapered jeans in person, but from the measurement chart at BiG, it looks like they will fit what you are looking for in terms being lower rise and more tapered than the S710. It looks like they may be looser in the thigh than the S710, though, not sure if...

    Alden MTO Forum Group Buy

     Apologies for the spam, but I've got an NIB pair of Alden boots almost identical to these for sale in the marketplace here. The only difference is that they are in black shell cordovan rather than calf. Anyway, if you want a brand new pair of Alden shell boots at a fair price, look here...

    Samurai lovers

     Generally, Samurai denim will stretch more than Momotaro denim, I've usually gotten 1-2" of stretch in the waist on most of the Samurais that I've worn, sometimes even more. I can't speak for the measurements you are looking for without knowing your general waist size, but I can say that if...

     Personally, I wouldn't size down from your Slim Guy size on Weird Guys, the WGs will be way too tight if you do that. I'd recommend wearing the same size in WG as in Slim Guy. Skinny Guy is a different story though.

    Roy's Jeans - Single Man Made

     To me, jean legs look too short if the hem is off the ground. They need at least a break in the leg even if you're not going to stack, and any kind of break is going to make the leg long enough to drag the hem on the ground if the leg opening is too big for your shoes.

    Naked and famous denim

     Taking a hot bath in those probably won't tighten them up much at all, and whatever small amount of shrinkage that you get out of them will probably stretch back out with wear. The denim on that model is pre-shrunk. If you are considering getting the legs tapered, you should probably just...

    Roy's Jeans - Single Man Made

    For me, I ordered the RN primarily because of the smaller leg opening. I want to be able to wear these jeans with closed-heel welt shoes, and the larger leg opening of the RS is going to make the hems drag on the ground.

    Self Edge SF/NY/LA/PDX/MX - Japanese Denim & Leather, Top Notch Basics, Very Nice Jewelry + Eyewear, & More

     In some ways, you've answered your own questions. ROYs are made just as well as any of the top Japanese brands, and priced similarly, so like the top Japanese brands, the label has its own loyal following. The ROY jeans even have some nice construction details that most of the top Japanese...

     If he does a cold soak or cold wash, they won't shrink much. That's what I would recommend if he wants to keep the fades from moving too much.

     Is it OK to hem the jeans for this contest?

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

     That is definitely true, though it should be noted that Iron Heart's overdyed models do fade quite well. If you are looking for non-fading jeans, I wouldn't recommend them. EDIT: However, IH's standard black denim, which they call "Superblack", does not fade, and the models using that...

    Momotaro

     Most brands of jeans, even the high end Japanese brands, are vanity sized to some extent. Momotaro is one of the few notables that is generally not vanity sized, so what you are saying about your experience with sizing definitely makes sense.

    Momotaro

     It is generally recommended to go TTS with most of Momotaro's cuts. I have even heard of people sizing up on some of their slimmer cuts, but I've always gone TTS on this brand.

    Naked and famous denim

     I'd imagine that it will if it sells well in the current denims that it comes in, but I haven't heard anything definitive yet.

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

     I'd agree with KingJulien here. I've handled the Diors before, and while I would say that they are well-made, I wouldn't put their construction quality at the same level as most of the Japanese brands carried at Self Edge, Blue in Green, Tate + Yoko, or Blue Owl. With Dior's price tag, a...

     Slim Guy is low-rise as well. Front rise measures the same as the Weird Guy, back rise is a little bit (0.25"-0.50") higher.

    Naked and famous denim

     If you want the waist to fit, you'll probably be a 30 or a 31 in both cuts. Be aware that unless you are really skinny, though, the legs will fit pretty tight on both, more so on the WG.

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

     N&F makes a deep indigo model, they call it the indigo/indigo slub, and they offer it in the Weird Guy cut. It's more tapered than the 011, but it still lets you get away from slim straights. Momotaro has 2 similar denims that they use as well, the Grand Indigo and the Deep Indigo. Both...
