Hey guys,
I got these from j. when he went to Japan a little while ago. I had a lot of jeans on rotation, so they got tried on, and then were put on the backburner. However, I've lost about 15 lbs and 2 inches off my waist since then, and while they were slightly big to begin with (they are about 34 inches around) they really, really do not fit me anymore. Put it this way. My size 29 New Standards are pretty loose on me right now (I just put them in a warm rinse to get them back to a decent size.) The fit is very similar to the NS (I would call these the poor man's New Standards.) My inseam is 32, and these would give me some stacking.
Anyway, um, $38 USD shipped - I think that that is a little lower than retail (not even sure these jeans can be found in the US anymore), and you avoid taxes NJ or NY taxes. And 38 is an auspicious number in Chinese, which is why I chose it (seriously.). Figured they should go to a good home. Paypal me at fyl @ io.harvard.edu. I'll ship USPS priority tomorrow if there is a buyer tonight.
Measurements:
Waist=34"
Front rise=11"
Back rise =14.25"
Thigh ~ 24" around
knee = 9.5 " across
hem = 8.5" across
inseam = 33"
So, like a less tapered version of the NS.
