The waist fitted comfortably from the start. I didn't measure them new, but I believe they're around 32". I just measured them at 33". I normally do sag them (unlike the photo) a little although there isn't much room since these have a pretty low rise.

The fit in the top block is a little loose, particularly in the back. It's like my thighs/ass aren't big enough to fill them out so the excess material bunches up and bulges out. I've been wearing these for a few days now and while the denim has started to soften, the bulge persists. I'm not sure if it will ever go away. If I stare at it for too long it pisses me off. It wouldn't be so bad if it bunched up in the crotch/ass but right now it's protruding a good inch or two from my thigh at a sharp point, making them look awkward.

I like the fit through the leg though. I don't think sizing down would have been an option because these are already snug on my calves. I think I'd be losing circulation in a 30. The hip flare problem could also be from my build. The other fit pics I've seen have been mostly of taller/skinnier guys and there isn't much hip flare, if any. Maybe it's because I have too much material bunching up above the knees. I don't think I'll bother getting these tailored to fix the problem. Hopefully the hip flare will go away in a month or so.

yeah give them time.. dior raws often have wicked hip flares too and theyve always gone away for me.. maybe NF is similar?

I get the same problem with my weird guy pair.

The upper thigh and butt area is shaped like a convex part of a spoon making me look fatter than i really am. But the leg is so slim. The whole jean does really look wierd on me i guess that is why they call it wierd guy. But not in a good sense.

I mean, it isnt an antifit shape.
It isnt even a repro fit or anything so the shape dont really make any sense to me.


But i got to give it to them for the denim though; the 15 oz denim they make it like steel. I mean its stiffer than my samurai.

yeah i wear my boxers below my waist already and wear my denim just below the waist band, not sure what fit i should go with after stretching, normally wear 32 or 33

holt vancouver "consolidated" all the N&F stock with other stores so they no longer have any in stock, i was pretty upset, i really don't want to buy from dutil if they overprice more than holt

They are about 130-150 at Dutil I believe.

The denim is nice and super thick, but unfortunately I wasn't at all impressed with the fit/cuts.

Anyone know where I can get N&F Weird Guy in Deep Indigo Selvage? I called showroom but they are out of stock. Any help would be great thanks!

 

[Vashin]

I know Sydney's carries the weird guy, not sure if it's the 'deep indigo' or whatever though. I tried it on a few days ago, fit wasn't for me

Jaychiz - I just **** my pants looking at that fit. It's beautiful. And that color jean with the rawish shine is absurdly beautiful.
