Naked and famous denim

[1up]

Hey guys, I had a 31x32 in slim guys (broken twill selvedge) and now I'm looking for a pair of black skinnies. I'm not sure where they would sell in Vancouver (I only know of holt).

I saw 2 pairs, one was a 26 oz denim for $310 (maybe a little out of my price range), and the other was a softer one (I think it was the 12 oz) for $130. I'm not sure if they were both skinny guys.

Any suggestions?

Times doesn't have N&F anymore, they're featuring Alternative Apparel, but check 'em out regardless. Check out Roden Gray in gastown, that store is sick. If you're looking for denim, go to dutil. That's like denim heaven. Haven is so-so, more hypebeasty than anything. Gravity Pope on West 4th is also another fantastic option.

I wish I could find a place that sold N&F in atlanta.

Barneys co-op only has 2 styles and 1 of them is lame anyway.

I have to order all my stuff without trying on.

times is carrying N&F again, the store concept has changed and allows for multiple features at the same time. they had some spring stuff in last friday, saw some pink and canary oxfords as well as some F/W stock, spring denim coming in soon i hope

This cut is a skinny guy fit, but do to the longer inseams there is a bit of additional fabric in the calf area so it fells more of a slim straight fit (visually not as tapered as other N&F skinny guys).

I tried on the Momo's at Barneys. I wear 32s in Skinny Guys and 31 in WGs. The 32 in Momos felt more comfortable (not as tight) as the skinny guys I have. The waist felt about right for a 32, but the thighs had more room than the skinny guys (cashmere) that I have. I sort of feel like I should go for a 31, but when I tried on the 31s, I couldn't button all 4 - just the bottom 2 and the top 1. Not sure what to do either. The 32s looked slightly larger than I'd like for "perfect" but maybe a soak could get the 32 to what I'd like.

Get the 31's and thank me later.

When I got my weird guys I had the exact same button situation. 1 month later I thank god I stuck with them. Sizing up would've looked DUMB.

That's normal. Get size 31. They will stretch to a perfect fit.

I have a pair of 33 greys from BiG, I am fairly confident that those greys fit 1-2 sizes smaller than normal N&F weird guys

sizing question:

I'm looking at a pair of skinny guys (either the 15oz or the momotaro), but not sure which size I would be (28 or 29)

currently, I'm size 27 in APC NS, measured waist of 30-30.5"

thanks

edit: or sizing down on weird guys?

My 28 broken twills measure 15 inches across laid flat after stretching if it helps.

 

[ac_slater]

You should be fine to get some 28's.

 

[Lachs]

will do

thanks!
