Can't say that I have. They really make jeans tighter than the SSK?

im not sure if slim kim would be a 1 as i heard they are still not that skinny or considered skinny at the knee down.

i have seen some jeans on some 'skaters' and guys around here that are like Literally skin tight from their pelvis down to their ankle. pretty sick but i am sure those jeans would be considered 1 !

Yeah that's true. I know there are plenty of more baggy raw denim brands like LRG or WESC, but since not many people here on SF wear them (or similar cuts) I spit out the 1972. If people are wearing baggier cuts, by all means list them. (On an aside, the 1972 are discontinued, which sort of makes them useless to list, as not many people will be purchasing them.)

That might be a 10 on the homeboy on the left. Those are just.....the WORST. And April 77's are like a negative 3, guy is definitely sterile. I hate them both a lot.
