If I read correctly, you wanted 2" of stretch, right? Not impossible, but I don't think you're able to stretch them that far by just wearing. Most raw denim stretches about 1" e.g. back to raw measurments, sometimes beyond that. I reccommend wetting the waistband a bit and wear time while damp to get the most stretch out of them. Just remember that stretching will be reversed by washing/drying, so you have to figure out for yourself if you want to go trough the hassle of stretching them out every time they come out of the washing machine.

Which is a better fade? And am I correct in thinking that they'll fit very similar, other than the rise??

 

Momotaro's, but I also think it's personal preference. If the rise is a lot different, the jeans waistband will sit on another place, take that into account. Also 3sixteen is sanforized, while the BOM's are shrink to fit.

Does it look good to cuff it that many times like Mark McNairy (right guy)? I have the same type of shoes, and I am not sure if it looks good or not.

That's at least five cuffs. And how do I make them skinny when I cuff them that many times?

I'm not sure about the pic you posted, but the Nudie Tube Kelly's in my image are a very light weight cotton/lycra mix, which may make rolling easier than a thicker, pure cotton denim.

This has only barely hit the store, let alone have anybody fading them.

Momotaro, hands down quality wise.

I want to buy some nice jeans, down the line of A.P.C, A.G and 7 for all mankind. My question is do these jeans come in one Inseam size? I looked on there website and none have a inseam size just waist. My inseam is 29-30 depending  on the brand. Do APC, AG and 7 for all mankind make jeans in different inseam size and if so where can I buy them or do I have to get them tailored?

 

Thanks.

AG and 7fam both use 33-34'' inseams. Don't buy them tho as quality wise they are pretty meh...denim is flimsy and will wear down very quickly. APC inseams vary from 32-35 based on waist size. No need to hem these really unless u have too much / hate stacking.

Where can I get smart looking jeans that don't have weird stitching and logos on the backside that come in a variety of colours?

 

Something like this http://www.amazon.com/Calvin-Klein-Rinse-Black-Straight/dp/B003IHU3FY but in colours like white, grey and other colors that are not indigo, and that hopefully have rivets that are the same colour as the jeans with no tone stitching

 

Whenever I find something I like it's like the manufacturer stopped making it a year ago and nobody stocks it or ships to the EU

you're probably gonna have to hem something cuz i dont think any decent quality denim brands sell varying inseams across waist sizes. If you want a straight fit apc new standards are great in terms of fit and value. 3sixteen and Spurr also make some good straight fits. You can try n&f but personally i hate their fits and have passed up many pairs at <$80. If you're willing to invest more $ check out some of the japanese brands...they tend to produce more straight and relaxed fits. In any case, it's best if you can try on a pair in person cuz sizing can vary seasonally.
