KMW 1950s and 2010s in 36 should fit you at 38.

Do the not stretch bluemagic? That is my major issue, I like them snug at the waist...I cant stand loose fits.

All jeans will stretch somewhat. RRL Slims will not stretch especially much though.

it's not TERRIBLE but it's not 'good', especially at retail. RRL is sold by us, Blake, some Ralph Lauren stores, Barneys CoOp and the RRL stores themselves.

I saw some stuff on ebay it is just a pain to sift through all of that crap. What do you guys sell them for Teger? I would probably need a 32 in straight leg.

The retail is $210 + $8 shipping. We offer a 20% styleforum discount. I don't want to clutter up this thread, so I'd email [email protected]

I recently saw a pair at TJ Maxx for $50 marked down from $215.

We stock them, but I'm not sure what we have left. You can email [email protected] or call (703) 647-9856.

Where do you live? I think Blake's in Portland stocks them too.

To echo what a couple others have said:

Buy one nice pair of dark indigo straight leg (or with a slight taper) with a mid rise and you're set. I happened to set on a pair of 5ep and they look barely worn after a years worth of ~3x a week wear and I suspect they'll continue to look great for years to come. A really worthwhile investment, if you do wear jeans.
