It's a long story. I wore them 2-3 weeks and then decided the starch was beyond ridiculous and gave them a hot soak. They fit better now. The button fly was flared open before the soak and is now hidden and aligned the way it should be. WG's seem to have a lot of room ********** and the soak helped tighten that area up.

Quote of the night when properly taken out of context...

You've soaked them, so you definitely can't return, and even if you sell, you won't get that much for a soaked/worn pair that aren't super expensive to begin with, so you've got nothing to lose by wearing them around some more. I still think that the softer they are the better they'll fit all round.

I agree. Hemmed, no cuffs and the jeans are fine.

What size should I go for in the skinny guys if I wear a 29 in NS? The Farinelli's measurements make the 30 look too small and the 32 look too big.

The fit is good. The stacks can be remedied. Iron out the creases at the bottom and reset the stacks by pushing the fabric to the bottom and shaping them the way you want. If by bunched up legs, you mean fabric bunched up around the knee- that's a thing most people want, the whole "fabric drapes nicely" is partially a reference to it.

started wg deep indigo like you about 2 weeks ago, fits exactly the same. gave it a hot soak before wearing because i wasn't concerned about indigo loss. as the denim softens up with wear the stacks should relax and fall more naturally.

I would actually say a 31 would be best for you. I wear a 30 in NS, a 31 in the Weird Guy and 32 in Skinny Guy. Most of our customers have been pretty consistent with this as well.

Sorry man, that one is long done. We will probably do some sort of promotion once we launch the webshop, but i still don't have a concrete timeline on that. We do offer free shipping, no PST on orders outside of BC, and i think our N&F stock is very reasonably priced. Which Skinny Guys were you looking at?
