Hey guys, I hope you can help a bit on this subject.
I figured that this subject has been talked about many times before, and I did search, but really didn't find what I was looking for - recent, first-hand opinions. I also considered throwing this question in the pinned threads at the top, but I'm looking for more than just one or two opinions (hopefully).
The history of the topic is this:
My girlfriend has always appreciated unique, well-fitting, "high-end" denim. She has worn many of the hip chick brands that we all seem to hate around here (on guys) since the day I met her. She is very petite and recently has toned up even more to the point that her 7FAM, R&R, etc. are fitting pretty sloppily. She has seen me drop about $1000 on jeans with brand-names that nobody up here in Canada knows over the last few months, and thankfully she is finally coming around to understanding the appeal of wearing inconspicuous, raw, (and maybe even selvedge denim).
She wears a 26 or 27 in most mall brand stuff, despite it always being very long on her. (Read: There is potential for some nice stacking here.) She is approximately 5'2" and weighs likely about 105 lbs. Thankfully, she understands the "stretch to fit" and the "never wash" philosophies, so basically I just have to find something and scoop it up for her. I think something tightly tapered (or maybe straight) works best for her body, so I'd probably start there in terms of dimensions.
I'm looking to spend about $250 at the most as this is her first pair. Also, if I could support the sponsors that'd be even better.
It seems that the Nudie Slim Kim or some expensive Sling & Stones are my only options at Self Edge and DB. (I must say, none of these look very good in the photos in my opinion.)
Suggestions?
