For those of you who are checking out the lightweight selvedge, but might be interested in other options, i should tell you guys that levi's makes a pair of 511 chambray trousers that are really lightweight and comfortable. http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10940776

Anyone know if Barneys stores price matches with their online site? I remember seeing a pair of Silk Skinny Guys for $89 a while back.

No harm trying. Lemme know if it works, I've been looking for a silk pair. Might as well add more debt to my credit cardz

BTW thanks for the Levi's chambray tip. Don't really like the 511 cut though tbh

SO I ordered a 32 in the weird guy deep indigo selvedge and that could not get past my thighs

ordered a 33 weird guy in the raised denim and my package could nor breath

34 weird guy and they were huge on the waist and still uncomfortable in the thigh area.

33 SLIM GUY in Natural Indigo Revival Selvage it got past my thighs and i was able to button it BUT I have about 1-1.5 inches in my waist. TOO MUCH SPACE!!! I was considering ordering the 32 in the same style but I am not sure if my package is going to be suffocated now....this sucks.

What's your waist size?

Sounds like 33 WG is the one. Don't worry about it being too tight right now. It'll stretch. Anywhere you put pressure, it'll stretch. You're not going to get the right fit unless it's tight in the beginning. If it's a perfect fit out of the box, it'll be too loose 2 weeks later.

the 33 in the raised denim is loose right about my butt. I stand up and I can pretty much stick my hand in the back of my jeans to scratch my butt with no complications.

nut up and break them in, if you want a good end fit you'll just be able to button the top button when they're new

Unfortunately, I'm trying to picture this, huge thighs, huge package (lol), no butt? But seriously, doesn't make that much sense if your package can't breath, but then you're able to stick your hand easily down your pants. Maybe you're getting a bad case of the WG diaper butt--which isn't good either....

But seriously, they do stretch. Every time I've tried on a new pair of the exact same cut and size, I always let out a, "holy mother of god this is tight". You just kind of forget how much the jeans do, indeed, stretch to fit your body. So go with the most tolerable one that isn't big on the waist. But if that means you have serious diaper ass, maybe you need another cut.

How much was your order?

n&f is produced in NA, so hopefully there wont be any extra custom fees to pay.
