Then you'd be buying it for all the wrong reasons. Pass.

Well... That, along with the fact I really need a sweater or knit soon.

I think they can look pretty good on someone with broad shoulders.

The size of the shawl, zig zag lines and weird choice of adding stripes ruin it for me.

Cheers guys. Some chump kopped it right after I posted anyway

The legs taper, but its not overdone-- so you avoid having too skinny of looking ankles when wearing these. Of all the jeans I own the KZO fit reminds me of the W+H fit more than anything else, but KZO is slightly looser.

Additionally, the black KZO's don't have that annoying contrast selvage line on the rear pockets-- instead they have a tone-on-tone black line that adds to the looks rather than detracting from them.

I don't own any Diors, but I noticed the measurements for the size 28 KZO's on many Japanese web sites is nearly identical to that of Dior 19cm in the same size.

The indigo feel like any other higher than standard light weight raw denim. You may have some problems with quality in the stitching and construction, while the fabrics are quite nice, how they are put together pales in comparison to apc for reference. My indigo's pocket bags on the from pockets wore through and are not completely gone, and the zipper has been replaced twice. The thigh darting stitching tends to break and come undone, i've had it stiched over small openings multiple times now. With that said, I will probably continue to buy them, since I haven't found a better fitting jean anywhere.
Thanks. I snagged a pair of indigo (central denim pant) sized TTS. I am slightly perturbed by the quality comments, dude your jeans should not come apart like that. They're $200 + jeans, stitching should not come loose. That being said I did get them for fit, so that's good news, and I'll have to see how they look on me.

I'd take them to a tailor and ask them to do double up on the stitching in the tear-prone areas, may not be the 'ideal' solution but the stitching won't make any real difference to the appearance of the jeans and it will most likely save you headaches later on down the track.

Either buy a really good knit or don't buy anything at all.

Let the chump look a fool.

^That for me? I need at least one pair of jeans that fit well. I haven't bought any knits lately. I have my eye on 2 McQueen sweaters -

And this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT But I'm in the negative $ right now and can't pull the trigger on either. If I get a paycheck soon or sell a ton of my stuff maybe.
