probably taking the plunge to buy these. I want a look like PG2G's (they look awesome), not too skinny and they don't look too tapered, I normally wear 32 in levis (this will be my first proper pair of jeans) should I go the 32's or up a size? How will the 32's look?

I am about 5'11 and slim/athletic build.

thanks!

BTW, have people noticed that the opening to the five pocket's a bit higher than usual and hits the belt line? I didn't realize it until the other day when I tried to put some coin in there and realized it was a ***** to get to.

You mean the classic wrangler-style coin pocket? Noob.

Are you freaking kidding me? How are you always complaining about needing longer inseams?

the problem isn't the length of his legs, if you catch my drift

How does a XXL package necessitate a longer inseam?


Uh, no ****...

I dunno, I guess I just have long legs? :p A lot of people around here are my height (or close) and wear 30" or 32" inseams. That doesn't quite work out for me, and a lot of 34" are just tolerable after shrinkage.

Just look at my pic and imagine 3 inches being chopped off (2 because of inseam, 1 for eventual shrinkage).

Yeah, different body proportions for different folks, I suppose...

I get frustrated with inseams on a lot of repros too, and I'm around 6'3" - 6'4" (been a while since a proper measurement); I usually end up having to sag a true 34 to get the look I like. With my 5EPxSFs, they look better all the way down like that - the top block doesn't look right pulled up, despite the mid-rise and the oversizing.
