If I wear a 31 in Diesel Zathans and I love the fit, do I need to size up to a 32 from a 31 on Skinners? I like the washes and fit a lot and like my jeans reasonably tight, but am not looking to obliterate my testicles by any stretch of the imagination.

i'd say no
they're pretty true to size
i wear a 33 or 34 and size 33 in capital E skinner fits me well and even then, there is still a little bit of room in them in the waist
they're pretty slim in the thighs as well

i find that there is really no shrinkage with washing and drying
i throw them in the dryer on a higher heat and haven't found any significant shrinkage to them, they still fit the same

They are very true to size, if not a half size smaller after several soaks, in my experience.

They run true to size and are very, very tight in the thigh. I have a pair of 31s...the waist is slightly loose, but they are almost skin tight in the thigh.

I don't really wear them anymore because the flare is just absurd on mine.
