Thank you for your comments and advice. Keep them coming if I haven't heard from you yet.
Thanks for your words on the fit, I agree I could probably go a size down. The way it feels is so good to me, though, that I feel like I'll just keep it. What I should've really done is gone to a store and tried on a bunch of sizes and asked your guys' opinion. I might do this in the future.
As for the jeans, are they these ones? https://www.celine.com/en-us/celine...slim-jeans-in-black-denim-2N309760D.38NF.html They seem quite interesting from your description. And, the waist size seems like something I could easily accommodate now. Price isn't so bad either. I was looking at these Dior ones too--anyone try these out? https://www.dior.com/en_us/products/couture-013DS00A217X_C900-slim-fit-jeans
Now, I have a question as to how you guys size your denim: do you tend to get jeans that are tight in the waist, in anticipation of them stretching? Or do you like yours to fit nice on first wear? I came to this forum during the APC size down a ton era, and I'm not really sure how people do it anymore.
It kills me, but I think I'm going to need to send back the jacnos. I am having the worst luck finding cool derbies, and for some reason my feet only seem able to accommodate boots. I feel like the heel slippage is too much. I tried them with some thicker wool socks, and although there was less slippage, I don't feel like I'd want to be wearing heavy socks with cool derbies like this, since it might throw off the look. I really, really dig the look of these shoes though.Heel slippage decreases once a shoe is broken in
I think I"m going to try 30. See question below regarding that. That is mind blowing that you lost that much weight. I remember you saying you lost weight in the SLP thread, but I had no idea it was that much. I've probably dropped about 15 pounds, and don't think I'll go much skinnier than this. Has it been difficult for you to keep the weight off?You look like size 30 would be perfect in denim.
The jacket looks great as is. You could probably size down one for the skinny look but that's not the Celine motif.
I lost about 40-50 pounds about 8-10 years ago, and it was very expensive! Luckily, my forays into fashion had not hit Dior yet, and was mostly like a Prada suit here and there.
My word of warning there would be if you're planning on getting skinnier don't buy a leather jacket yet.
Thanks!I agree with the boys, jacket looks good!
Yes, I have different SLP boots that require different types of socks to be comfortable, but I honestly don't feel like this would be wise for derbies, since socks will be visible from time to time, making how they look a consideration (I'm saying that as my personal preference, not a hard and fast rule).I thought that about my SLP wyatt ankle boots but after breaking in they still slipped.
I could not size down as the toe area was quite painful for me before breaking in. I wear size 7.5 in Timberland and Todds but bought 7 in SLP Wyatts. Had to exchange for TTS but now need to wear thick socks to stop the heel slippage.
@GG Allin Leather jacket looks very nice. Agree it cold be size down if you want it slimmer. I prefer slim fits myself as I am very skinny guy so a normal fit shirt looks oversized on me haha

I feel you on trying the 48. I wish it were easier for me to do so, but since Celine doesn't let you just exchange via mail for a different size, instead requiring you to send back for a refund, it's just too much of a pain for what will probably be a very minor difference. I really appreciate your honesty and advise though. I think in future I might try to get a leather that is so slim that it's impossible for me to have a sweater underneath.Jacket really looks a bit big around the shoulders. Otherwise i think it looks good.
You should try size 48 imo. Sometimes there isn't much of a difference between sizes.
Have you tried the pair of jeans Hedi is wearing?

They are the 100% cotton slim jeans.
Mid waisted, tight waist and upper leg, more loose on the lower leg and slightly tapered leg opening.
Size 30 should measure 43 cm across the waist. The fit on the waist was the same as every other model i have tried so far.
