Hi I was wondering would anyone know where to find a pair of-I suppose the correct term would be fitted- jeans.

As in I would like them tightish but not skin tight.This fit just doesn't seem to be about and i've been looking for an appropriate msg board to ask the question.I hope this is it!

I'm a man btw(which seems to be the problem regarding this fit) in the uk.

Something in the levis price range would be awsome.

Thanks in advance!

If they don't HAVE to be bootcut (I really hate bootcut), I would suggest Levis 514s. They are the slim-straight cut. Not skin-tight, but form fitting. I have a pair, I like them.

It all depends on your build and how high on your waist you tend to wear your jeans.

Some common brands with normal to slim straight fits: Levi's 506 and 504. Lee Zed and Clarck. Wrangler Ace. G-star: 3301 straight, Structor straight. Jack & Jones: Gate xxx, Rick xxx, Clark four. Loads of other brandsas well, slim straight fits are just about the most common cut in NW Europe at the moment.

Just have a look at Asos.com, and remember that the models are generally oversizing, by one or two sizes

Yea, this look is so much cooler than Dad jeans.

RRL's bootcut is very slight and hardly bell bottom-y. I'm not a fan of bootcuts, but I have no problem wearing those.

fitted depends how big you are, of course. I have huge thighs, and 7 bootcut fit me great. I need to have them shortened, which actually helps take away a good part of the bootcut. they end up fitting great and make me look slimmer, which is hard to do

I like to wear jeans but i haven't tried fitted bootcut jeans, but i think i have saw that type of jeans somewhere and have lots of good review about this kind of jeans, and this is also depends on your looks and your body language.

I just couldn't let your comment slip. I've worked in the largest jeans store in the Netherlands....and I am an assistant store manager at a G-star store.

why do you want boot cut?

I wear cowboy boots daily and have disproportionately large legs. The Levi 538 cut is a straight leg, low cut deal and although a tad snug out of the dryer loosen perfectly, and fit just right over my Justin boots.

If you know your jeans, then you know that none of the brands you mentioned stack up well for quality and fit against brands such as Samurai, Iron Heart, Flat Head, and heck even APC and Naked & Famous.

Run what you said over in SWD. I dress more towards the MC side but dabble a bit in SWD. Barring a few specific runs of Levi's, most of the jeans you've mentions are not selvaged, nor are they made with high quality denim manufactured in Japan.

I'm not trying to **** on your advice, but if a guy needs advice on how to fit a suit, the SWD guys send em over to MC side. I'd like to think it works the other way around too.
