Speaking of denim, anyone have a recommendation for skinny-ish black jeans with not-too-low of a rise? I tried on N&F's Weird Guys and liked the leg line, but not the seat. A friend suggested I check out RgT's Stanton and SK fits, but the local shop is sold out.

Not looking to get anything too skinny, but also not looking for slim straight-legs.

Try Two Jacks in Oakland, they carry RT as well

I'm using Weleda Citrus spray at the moment. It works and compliments my usual every day cologne (Virgin Island Water)

Is taking the waist in on jeans easy work for a tailor? I gotta size up for my thighs and usually would just wear a belt but I the extra fabric gets bunched up when I do.

What is trend called where people purposely dress like **** and going for a "dad" look?
I'm talking stone washed straight fit jeans in 28 length than hang above the ankles, with a random sweater and a beat up cap. I really hope this doesn't catch on, but I'm starting to see more "fashion" IG posters with this look.

Yes, that seems to be it. I ran a quick Google search and those awful fits came up. Whats the consensus of that look on Styleforum? Am I being pretentious because I prefer my John Elliot x Saint Laurent x Common Projects outfit?

That's the '90s Spanish class textbook look

I think it's the "I'm picking up trash on work release" look

I'd much prefer Saint Laurent x John Elliot x Common Projects over John Elliot x Saint Laurent x Common Projects.

mine did it for really cheap and it worked out very well, I'll definitely do it again due to small waist/ long legs and working out

As long as you arent sizing up multiple sizes you'll be fine. Im a true 33 but I buy 34, occasionally a 36, and ive only once had an issue with the waist being taken in. They will probably have to take the hips in a little bit too if the waist is huge though.
