check the attachments for the pictures.

these are 30x32. waist stretched at 15.3"

I was wondering how much these will stretch after wear, and how long it will take to break them in and start to see some fading.

Also, by the looks of it, what is the exact model name for these? Are they dry selvedge or what? Sorry i'm such a nudie newbie..


also, how much flare will ola bootcuts have? I've tried rrds like 6 months ago but ended up returning it (29x32) because it was first and foremost too tight on the thighs and was too straight for my taste. Tell me if i'm going to like these.

Lastly, how much are ola bootcuts dry (assuming the picture represents that model) right now? The seller is asking 160.

Thanks guys~!!

You are not going to like them. Bootcut Olas are actually less bootcut than the RRDS and are lower rise and slimmer through the thighs. They are also lighter weight, and will not develop very pronounced fades.

listen the the expert la guy. i have RRGD and BootCut Ola in the same 32x34 for both. The RR are very baggy, the waist is more like a 33 or possible 34, whereas the Ola's are more like 32-33. the Ola's are much narrower in the the leg, lower rise and narrower boot-cut (it's barely a boot cut really). it's not as slim as apc ns, but slimmer then RR. It's one of my favorite jeans (even though it's 1-2 inches too big in the waste) but it's the perfect belt jean for me, but i like the slimmer look.

the price is not bad at retail (i've seen them on sale at that price at barneys) but so so from a private seller. but given your wants i think you should pass on these.
