All you jackasses are wrong, I sized down 2 and I had to have two people help me button them up. Exchanging the 32s for 33s.

Btw, I have a Maxfield hookup. God I love me.

This is something that I think I'd find at the other SF. So I will reply in kind.


The problem is not the size of your jeans, it's your oversized ass, go hit the gym and see if you can get yourself run over by a bus on the way there.

Strange... I sized down two and it wasn't enough. I should have gone down three sizes. But, I didn't realize that until I found out how much they stretched. You may regret your exchange later.

Ah yes, look out Michael Richards. Thank you for the kind words sir, your wit knows no end and clearly you didn't realize my post was in jest. Maybe you should change your last name to Head to better complement the first as well as your personality

I know they'll stretch guys but I don't like the narrowness of the leg and how tight they feel overall.

Im usually a 28 or 29 and i got a 27 in NS and i had trouble buttoning the top button, but after a few hours of wear, it got much better. Now a couple of months later with irregular wear, i wear a belt!

I'm of two minds on this. I bought my New Standards in my normal waist size (30) because I wanted a looser pair of jeans that I could sag as low as I wanted. I really wish I'd bought a 29 now (and if I wanted a SuFu-style fit, I could have gone for a 28), because the denim is stretchier than I ever thought it would be. The waist will stretch as much as you want it to, but I hadn't counted on the legs stretching quite as much as they did. The thighs on mine, in particular, went crazy. I don't have the smallest thighs in the world, but I don't have gigantic thighs either. A few days of riding my bike around in these and they stretched hugely. I don't know, though, your mileage may vary. I will say that my Nudies, both pairs, have been beaten up just as much as my APCs, and they haven't stretched half as much. Do not underestimate the infamous APC stretchiness! *BUT*, you like a looser fit, right? You'll probably be fine with those 33s.

Thanks Sauce that's what I'm thinking. I'm a little bit thicker than you guys and the jeans were just not to my liking at all. I don't have the patience and I don't do much physical activity in them as you guys but appreciate the info nonetheless.

I sized down two in both NS and Rescue. The Rescue are a perfect fit, just slightly less than snug, while the NS are a slim tapered fit. If you're talking about NS, and you don't like your jeans to fit slim, then you are probably better off sizing down just one.

Then maybe you are better off getting somethign else other than the NS. Maybe try Rescues or even another brand.

They are rescues. I'm 5'11" all muscle. My bleached 34" rescues fit perfect.
