Ande Whall is about that price and has super long inseams http://andewhall.bigcartel.com/ Anyone know about the sizing of Oak Brand products? I was kinda drawn towards this baby blue blazer for florida weather. http://www.oaknyc.com/men/spring30sa...arged#enlarged No idea how oak brand stuff runs. I emailed them, but figured i wouldn't get a response till tuesday. I know someone asked recently, but did anyone find out the sizing on ymc sneakers? I wanted to buy a pair of plims.

I wear a 32 APC NS and a 34 for most jeans. What size should I get for a pair of Nudie Slim Jims? 33? (I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the dry grey coated.)

Thanks.

I wouldn't size down on Slim Jims. 34 is probably your best bet. They're pretty fitted in the top block in my experience.

Slim Jims are straight leg. If you want the same style with a taper then go with thinn finn. I wouldn't recommend sizing down with Slim Jim unless you are into the wet Mustang jeans look.

Thanks. Would the Slim Jims strech much? I've been wearing the New Standards pretty much non-stop since getting them 3 months ago. They've completed lost any feeling of the tightness I had when I first got them, and I wouldn't mind having something that would stay a little tighter in the seat and a little slimmer in the leg.

At the waist, yes, but not so much, if at all, in the thigh area and the bottom block.

His best bet is to search on here and sufu (both Nudies threads and sales threads) for measurements of a 33 and 34 pair.

Is the APC "original standard" the same as the "standard" that predated the "new standard"? I asked this in the APC thread, but never got a for-sure answer. thanks
