Depends on your body type... PS looks best on me. ( Especially due to the lower rise, which balances out my proportions; i.e. long legs + short torso )

Does anyone have experience with their leathers ?

YAY or NAY at 50% off ?

Leaning slightly toward the N&F due to the longer inseam, but not sure quite yet. Another other recommendations would be good.

Both of them will look pretty much identical in terms of the wash and they actually might fit quite similarly if you size them correctly (size up on N&F). The N&F ones are a little bit more rigid if I remember correctly, though, so they might not be as comfortable as the Acnes, though neither of them are particularly soft due to the nature of the treatment.

I must say I'm liking those Wet on Blacks that Tee posted, though.

While on the topic of Acne Max Cash, are they sized like Diors 19cm / 17.5cm (washed pairs)?

I'm a 30 in my Cashs, a 30 in all washed 19cm Diors I've tried so far, a 31 in 17.5cm Nightfalls and somewhere in between a 29-30 in Dior 19cm MIJ Raws. ( I'd need a 29.5 for an ideal pre-stretch fit )

No, unless you want to drop money on something that looks cheap, when it really isn't...

If you purchase it, definitely don't wear it this way. I hate the contrast between the bulky upper part and the skinny bottom.
