NDG Jeans, size up or down?

[cmyr]

So I preordered a pair of the gray Classic Fit Jeans from Brigade back in the fall, and now I'm wondering if I might've guessed wrong on the sizing. They're only available in evens, and i'm stuck between a 30 and a 32. I'm a "true" 31, but I wear a 29 in NS, a 31 in 5ep, and a 30 in RB11s. Does anyone have any experience with the ndg Classics, and have any idea how they tend to fit?


thanks for the headsups

I've never had a pair, but from what I've read, they tend to stretch a bit. That would make me guess that you should go with a 30.

Take the 32. They do stretch a bit, but I am one size smaller than you (28 in NS, 30 or 29 in 5EP, depending on the cut) and the 30 NdG were really tight to begin with

I would take LA Guy's advice, I guess it depends on how you want to wear them. If you want them very slim, go down to 30--more of a slim to normal fit, 32. Here are a couple threads on it: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...ghlight=guerre http://supertalk.superfuture.com/sho...ht=guerre+jean http://supertalk.superfuture.com/sho...ht=guerre+jean Look on page 2 and 3 of the last link. I'm sure there are more threads on it too.

Not sure about the classic fit, but I just got a pair of the narrow fits in 30 and the waist feels at least one (possibly two) sizes small. They haven't had a chance to stretch out yet though so here's to hope :/

Thanks for the replies, i'll stick with the 32... worst case scenario i send them back to justin and have to do without new jeans for a week.

I guess this means they're sized true to tagged size like levis ?
