Whatever your actual size is subtract one.  Check the APC thread for more info

Hey guys, new here today. Been reading/researching a ton on this website and finally joined. Going to start my raw denim adventure when the next paycheck comes in. I have decided on APC PS and am pretty confident I know which fit to go with but thought I'd seek out some advice. I usually wear 30/32s in Levi 511 jeans. They are not super skinny on me, and I love the fit. Debating between 28s and 27s for the PS. My legs are sticks. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

could someone recommend a pair of slim black jeans with a mid/high rise (10.5+)? the only kind I've been able to find so far are LVC 1967 505's in black overdye but I dislike the distressing.

27 will make you infertile...if ur between 30-32 normally, I'd go with a 29, or 28 at the very tightest. ime they don't stretch nearly as much as some people claim. Also remember, smaller sizes have less material = less stretch potential.

non raw? do you mean non unsanforized/shrink to fit?

 

try the NF solid black weird guys in 30.  or just the normal black selvedges.  i feel the solid blacks have a nicer colour and the normal blacks arent really that black

 These are the measurements of my black Dior 19cm jeans:

 

 

Dior 19cm tagged 29

Waist:  32"

Inseam: 36"

Front Rise:  9.25"

Leg Opening:  7"

Knee:  8.75

Upper Thigh:  11"

 

Of course, they've stretched out from use.  Dior might be too expensive for you, but you can sometimes get them used for a steal.

This is bad advice.  I have roughly those same measurements and the N&F wg cut looked awful on me; also he'd need a 31.

My best-fitting pair of jeans are a black pair of Balenciaga's in a 32 that I got off B&S for $160.  They show up on yoox sometimes, but are a little more, like $250, but the returns are only $6 so it might be worth trying out - they pretty much meet your specifications exactly (18cm hem).  If you want something heavier, you can go with any of the denimbro brands and just compare measurements, but I feel like black jeans are the easiest color to find a really good deal on sale, so keep an eye out in the sale thread on here too.

Long time reader but still a newbie so don't bite my head off please. Done a search of the thread and still clueless.

Looking for black coated or waxed jeans. The Nudie ones that are always mentioned are sold out I seem to see everywhere. I can only see them on eBay. Dior in the UK don't seem to have them on the website.

Only been able to find these so far http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/uk/en/zara-W2012/269235/825168/BLACK%20TAG%20WAXED%20JEANS

Could anyone give me some other links please? Would prefer cheaper but up to $400 it okay

Thanks

My dry-cleaner hemmed my last pair like that because her machine couldn't sew through the extra thickness of that flat-felled seam.
Since you're a 32, you won't be cuffing and so that little flap won't be an issue.

Can anyone recommend the best value raw denim jeans at around $100-$110?

 

I know that's limiting compared to most $200-$300+ pairs, but I want to go easy on my first pair of raw jeans, in case I fuck anything up.

 

I'm seen some Naked & Famous, Left Field NYC, and Diamond Mine brand jeans for around that price point, sometimes online (which makes me nervous re: fit).

 

What are the best brands around $100 and what's the best place to find them? Online distributors? Ebay and classifieds? Boutiques or thrift shops?
