in the same size, they're about the same in the thighs, maybe a little looser. Waist is larger because they're lower rise. FIt from knee down is straight, not tapered.

They are the exact same jean made by the exact same company whose sizes generally have little standard from batch to batch. I KEEEED !

If you are a rocker type and don't mind a lower sperm count, then go for the hipsters - otherwse go NS.

My rotation:

Somet 008 Slims - The fit is pretty spot on for what I was looking for. At the moment these are my #1 jeans and get wear pretty much every day. To be completely honest, however, I have been a tad disappointed with the fading. The indigo isn't nearly as deep as the price point would suggest. Samurai, Sugarcane, 5EP, Eternal, etc. all have much more beautiful color to them. The fit makes it worth it though. So on point. Looks awesome with rocker-styled gear - I usually pair it up with the dark blue EG quick-release belt and some April 77 topwear. They also look really good with my brown suede chukka boots.

Rag&Bone RB11s - I put these on whenever I don't feel like dealing with the really low rise of the Somets: they're soft and comfortable, and they are starting to wear really nicely. The vertical fading is awesome and the color is unique, and the denim is of the highest quality. The fit around the hips isn't normally what I go for, so I generally wear a longer shirt or a jacket with it. Goes really well with a soft grey/blue AA t-shirt worn slightly loosely, and a charcoal Margiela suit jacket. White Vans slips or Adidas Forest Hills 72 for shoes.

5EP Low Down Boot - A great pair of bootcut jeans, I'm sure I've expressed the love enough for these around the board. Mine are about a year old in wear and I love em to death, but I feel the tapered Somets are more in line with my current wardrobe for fit. I tend to pair these with other pieces of American-style wear, and the unique color of the indigo goes well with lighter browns and brighter colored shirts. Perfect with a red plaid western shirt.
