I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here. - Page 1207

So I'm looking for a pair of deep indigo denim. I already have a pair of APC PS and I like the skinny tapered fit.

I'm deciding between:

What would you guys choose? What's the general consensus on Momotaro vs. PBJ? Most of these jeans (except the first PBJ) are pretty slim with a small leg opening, correct? Are the fades on BiG's site pretty accurate as to what I can expect them to look like after a bit of hard wear?

Some additional info: I'm 5'8", 160 lbs. I wear a size 30 in PS, but I probably could have gone with a 29. Although I expect that throwing them in the wash should shrink them a bit. Also, I live in NYC, so if you know of any places that have these in stock, I would love to head over to try them on. My price point is ~$300, so any additional recommendations are welcome!

Thanks in advance!

In what way? Is it something to do with 'slubbyness'? I'm curious to know.

I plan on doing that. Just wanted a bit of information before taking a 40 minute train ride in 90 degree weather.

Very true... im actually over internet sales.. I've spent about 3k on stuff online half of which i've sent back. Much easier to go to the source and make sure it fits, get a 2nd opinion, etc.

Sucks for them.

Where should I find a great bespoke or MTM jeans in NYC or Europe?

Looks like I have offended some members with my questions; believe me that was not the intent. I'm very new to raw denim. Since, BiG was recommended in these posts, I stopped by to buy a pair and ended with Eternals. I do not get to wear jeans often but I love them. This week I picked up LVC 1947 raw, which I am NOT going to wash. I plan to wear it for good 6 months before I soak it.

BTW how much does LVC raw stretch? I got 29 waist. I was told it will stretch an inch.

Next purchage is Earnest Sewn Fultons. I wanted to get Somet 003s but I figured I would never get enough wear on all pairs.

Thank you all.

I'm sure it's been answered in this thread, but how would I go about sizing for a pair of Nudie jeans?  Specifically the Average Joe's or the Hank Rey's fits.  I normally wear a 32 or 33 waist with a 32-34 length.  I haven't decided on what wash I'll be getting.....possibly the Dry Organic (Average Joe), the Dry Orange Selvage (Hank Rey) or the Recycle Dry (Hank Rey).
