Is that Bernie in a kilt in the right

Anyone know any light wash jeans with a higher rise and a fitted but not skin-tight leg?

This set from E. Tautz could have been the one but it sold out in 30W.

Also general denim question, should I just size down if I don't want the waist to stretch out too much?

In my experience it works best for the waist to be comfortably snug prior to any washing. They should stretch out with wear and then return to about their original measurement after a wash.

@cyc wid it I received the Real McCoy’s full-zip hoodie today and it fits longer than I expected for a Japanese brand. I’m 6’3” with a medium torso and vacillating between 200 and 210 and the XL drapes pretty long and is accommodating in the arms due to the shoulder width being slouchy. I’m going to keep and put through the dryer instead of going down to a L. I’ll let you know if that changes anything.

My measurements laid flat:

- Chest: 24.5”
- Shoulder: 20”
- Length (from hood seam): 28”
- Arm (from shoulder seam to cuff): 26”

After a cold wash and dry on low heat:

- Chest: 23.75”
- Shoulder: 19.5”
- Length (from hood seam): 26.75”
- Arm (from shoulder seam to cuff): 24.5-24.75”

There was seemingly some shrink after the cold wash, but I didn't measure it then. For my tastes I am glad I went with the XL as the fit is now where I would like it. I can't yet speak to any stretch that may occur with wear.

For anyone following along, I also picked up a Real McCoy's loopwheel crewneck and these are the measurements after a cold wash and drying on a hanger:

Pre

- Chest: 22 1/8th"
- Shoulder: 20”
- Length (from hood seam): 27 3/8th"
- Arm (from shoulder seam to cuff): 25"

Post

- Chest: 22.5"
- Shoulder: 20.5”
- Length (from hood seam): 27 6/8th”
- Arm (from shoulder seam to cuff): 25 6/8th"

So... It expanded?

You were as surprised as me. I suppose gravity did it's trick in all areas.

may actually tighten up a bit when you wear it it got blocked when you dried

@UrbanComposition how recent is your Polo Ralph Lauren suede trucker? Was it a vintage find?

It was a vintage find on eBay and a style they do fairly often. It was practically new but <$100 because of a stain on the sleeve, but that usually doesn’t bother me. I see them hovering around $2-400.

I just picked up a new one for a nice discount (hasn't yet arrived), but am not sure about the quality of their present offerings. I like the shade of brown of yours better as well.

We were starting the semester of Patternmaking with body measurements last week, and I realized I have the same upper body as the 5’11” guy and the lower body of the 6’6” guy. I’m 6’2” and apparently all legs.
