I'm on the other end, I actually lost a few pounds while dealing with some pretty awful health issues over the last year or so and now my NS 32's are all too big for me, it's gone from stacking to actual hip hop type s**t, thinking of selling them all and investing in either PS or NC.

I have NS's in size 27... if interested PM me. I will also accept trades in size 28.

I got a quick question.. when going from NS to PS/NC do I want to stay the same size or size up 1?

Ok, after trying a 30 in PS with no avail, I'm trying a 31 in NC.

Yeah, I ordered these because the NS was back ordered. Figured I'd give it a try in the mean time.

Looking for NS in a sz. 28. Prefer newer or a pair that been broken, washed, etc.

PM me if that's you.

After one wearing, I soaked them in hot water for one hours and then hang-dried them.

Now they have soften up and fit like a glove, no shrinking at all.

As far as slim-fitting jeans are concerned, they are the nicest pair I have.

I just found out NCs aren't selvage? Doesn't that make them a little worse of quality compared to the PS and NS?

Looking for NC or PS in size 29s if anyone has em..

They are selvedge denim. The selvedge line is gone due to the cut for the tapering.

There's no such thing as 'selvedge denim'. There's raw, washed denim etc.

Selvedge simply refers to the type of edge on the fabric, and has erroneously become the factor by which people judge 'quality denim'. It's an aesthetic quality, nothing more.

So NCs may be raw, but without the selvedge line they aren't 'selvedge denim'.
