So i've been lookin to get a pair of acne max in shaved off ebay from ddt? or some power seller of that name (their legitimacy is another question i wanted to inquire about)....

and so to make sure of the fits, i hit up barneys and tried on a few pairs of acne max's in different washes...i used to think acnes were pretty consistent on their fits, but i seriously wear a 30 in the mic comfortably, can barely squeeze into a 31 in the max blackness and cannot close a 31 on the max cash (or dominated)...i forget....and then to top it all off, i wear a 30 in the max raw

can anyone enlighten me? especially if you've tried on the max shaved

IME, washed Acnes fit a size bigger than raw, and the Max runs a size bigger in the waist than the Mic. But it doesn't seem that's quite what you've found.

The guy has a boatload of positive feedback, and the prices, while low, aren't ridiculously so. I wouldn't worry too much.

You know, I never figured why Acne jeans weren't as popular around here. I love the Mic cut, straight leg, a touch slimmer than a 501 but still a comfortable fit, flattering on just about everybody, raw and a few decent washes, etc.

A bit pricier than Nudies but not overtly so. My most comfortable pair of jeans were Mics, I forget the wash but I got them from the Denimbar like three years ago.

I'm tempted to pick up a the pair of Mocs this guy has in my size, good for a lounge around the house type jean.

Mics would be nicer if they didnt have such a girly low rise

I'd prefer a button fly to a zip fly; I've yet to have any injuries caused by a button fly if you know what I mean.

No, I don't know what you mean, as I've yet to have any injuries caused by a zip fly either.

Getting back on topic, Acne Mic Raw; true to size, size up or down?

My waist 29"
APC NS 27" about right
5EP LDB O/W 28" too loose

Anyone have sizing advice on Max Cashs? If someone had a pair they could measure a little i'd very much appreciate it. I might have someone proxy a pair from this UK site (that doesn't deliver to the US) since they're really cheap on sale.


BTW, i hear for next batch of acne maxs and/or mics, the rise will be a little higher. I forget where i read that though.
