MC newb here with a denim question

[TauKappaEpsilon]

I mostly stay in the MC section of this site so please excuse my ignorance, but here is my question:


I'm looking to buy a new pair of denims and I'd like to stay with APC (or something close in price and quality). I currently have tagged size 28 NS that I washed and dried (in the dryer) once and they shrunk to almost a perfect fit. However they are still a little too baggy. I want to buy a new pair and keep those as my unwashed pair of raw denim and I was thinking about looking at something that comes slightly slimmer. I've tried the PS in a tagged size 26 (two sizes down from my true size) and they were WAY to small with too much of a taper for my liking (I have insanely skinny legs and the taper looked awful). I was thinking about possibly looking into the New Cure. From the charts on ContextClothing.com it seems that the NC is just a little slimmer than the NS in the same tagged size. It's hard for me to figure out what I want from comparing numbers on an online chart so I was hoping some of you could tell me what to order.

I'd be wearing these mostly smart casually. I want something slim but not skin tight. I do not like the taper very much. Am I right in thinking that the NC is slimmer than the NS but fuller than the PS?

Thanks a lot SF.

I think that's accurate. I currently have a pair of New Cure in a size 30 and it fits almost as slim if not the same as my New Standard in a size 29 did. I got rid of the New Standard in sz 29 because the waist never stretched out. The Petite Standard...those jeans didn't even clear my calves so they were definitely too tight for me.
