I've got pretty big thighs so I always tend to size to what will fit them and end up having to wear a belt. I went with a 36 and already will have to wear a belt with 'em, but this size fits me perfectly thought the thighs and the leg.  Guess I just need to run more or something huh?

The fit is the exact same as the regular Stanton, and it's really one of my favorites.  I might be able to snap a few fit pics tomorrow.

You know it's funny that you ask about the smell.  I was looking the details earlier and noticed the smell.  Nothing major, but they do have the a little bit of sulfur smell to them.  I'm sure that will go away with some wear.

Noticed that the Dark Stanton JPS now has a Kurabo selvedge "dark indigo" denim, whereas the previous Dark Stantons used a Kaihara non-selvedge "dark navy overdyed" denim.

Why the change? And what are the major differences in the denims? -- especially in regard to how the jeans will wear and fade, obviously.

Thanks.

oh my gosh, just got my RTxIDC Black Stantons. Sized a 33. Definitely couldve gone 32. they fit loose in the bum. Did a hot soak to try and shrink a little but theyre sanforized so the results were minimal (they do stand up on their own now though ha). 

despite the sizing being a little bigger than id have liked, they are absolutely astonishingly solidly built and designed jeans. The solid black selvedge is so nice, so tough. I may have been happier with the SK in hindsight, but these are more versatile not being so skinny. 

I used to be a 36 but have lost just shy of 40lbs since may so i was excited to get some new RGT's to make up for my now far too large dark stantons and RK ISC's. I did some measurements against my N&F Skinny Guys to match up to the RGT stanton sizing chart and the 33 should have been near perfect. I guess the 32 would have been better. So size down one on these, guys, IMO. 

But with the discount on the cyber monday sale, I got these jeans for 160, and to compare them to my N&F's or APC New Cures in that price range the craftsmanship comparison would be laughable. These are fucking gorgeous. 

I also got the dark brown/gold roller buckle belt (the one without the stitching decals) and it is the perfect weight and sized belt to my taste. Slightly thinner than my corter and tanner belts, but such a solid belt. should sized down to a 34 belt but went 36 and im on the last notch. I can always punch a new hole if i must. Just bought a belt punch on ebay for 6 bucks last week to account for the recent weight loss. 

I need some fit help.  I just picked up a pair of rogue territory SK 14.5 jeans.  I am worried they look too skinny, but the Stantons seem like they will be a little baggy for me.  The size 32 sk was too bit in the waist and the waist on these fit well.  A little snug but not bad.  I already have Momotaro by Japan Blue that are similar in fit to the Stantons and they are a bit baggy for me.  Do you think these will look good after they break in a bit?  Thanks!

I don't think those look too skinny.  Thigh fit looks good and the knee down isn't skin tight.  I guess it depends what you're used to.  

possibly even size down 1 more, since theyll stretch out and it seems like the butt is kind of sagging.
