I love them!! Like really!! I don't know the model name/no. but they are the slim ones with the tapering seam sewn across the thigh - one of the coolest aspects of them IMO. They fit really well and if they had a 33 I would be wearing them now - no joke. Even though I just got a pair of NS' last weekend

What do you guys think of Somet - haven't seen much about them on here. But for me twas love at 1st sight. ETA: If anyone's wondering the guy there said they fit like Dior's - not sure which ones.

I've always wanted a pair but the super-low rise scares me away.

It aint that low. And I got junk which makes it appear even lower. I tried on some 34's but they had too much room (never thought I'd find 'room' in such slim jeans) and 32's were toooooo tight.

Lemme tell you, that seam on the thigh sold me. It is just so cool looking. Don't knock em till you try them on for yourself. If you have that luxury.

Yeah it was the slims. I don't think they are crazy skinny but because of the seam (I think) it helps it contour more. I didn't bother trying on the regular straight ones thinking they'd be too close to the NS I just got. I knoe it's insane to by em back to back like that but so help me if they had the 33's Id have gotten them. I dug 'em that much.

Gordon from BiG said the rise for a size 29 regular fit is about 8.5, which is really, really low in my book..

I talked to Gordon about the white ones, I might get them just because of the sheer fact that he is such a pleasure to talk to and work with. I don't mind supporting guys like him at all.

lighter weight and not as slubby. matter of they aren't slubby at all. but it's a different cut than those. i did notice hidden rivets which i also like. they seem solid. llike a sturdier version of apc with a deeper blue.

what's the rise on NS'?

Haha!! I hear ya. That's the only reason I didn't shell out the $265 they asking for 'em tonight. But he said he'll call me when they come in - it's a matter of time.

Holla at me when you get to NYC ok.
