KMW — believe the hype

AntiHero84 · Jan 21, 2011

I definitely agree, but i was thinking a hot soak might shrink it just right. On the other hand, I can't get over the back pockets. So if anyone is looking for a super cheap pair of Rockers, just check my sig. I'll sell them for how much I paid plus shipping.

It's a shame too, because everything they said about this denim is true. Fantastic quality.

Doesn't seem to fit at all. :/

I've got a NWT 36/32, 1950 one wash for sale cheap if anyone is interested.

Anyone have any experience sizing down 1 on the 1950s? I'm debating picking up a pair from Blue Owl and won't be able to try them on. The measurements seem right for me (accounting for a little stretch in the waist over time), but I was hoping to hear about someone else's actual experience. How's the fit in the legs? I'm definitely looking for a slim fit and not so much a classic fit. Thanks fellas.

the 1950 is the classic fit....

Usually you are suppose to slim down b/c they stretch out. 1950 u are looking at a straight leg, not a slim, even with sizing down one.

^That's basically what I figured until I saw this from a few pages into this thread (http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...=32092&page=7). A few people responded saying that sizing down 1 gives you a slim fit like the first pic below, which is what I'm looking for. Of course I don't know if any of these people have actually bought a pair sized down or if they're just guessing, which is why I was hoping to find at least one person with actual experience. I'd be getting a size 29, which makes them pretty slim (leg opening is 7.75"), but they're from the Blue Owl deadstock thread so they're non-returnable. Ah, dilemmas...

oboy_oboy · Jan 26, 2011

That Revolve pic is totally exaggerated--they would only look like that in the wrong size. I own 1950s, sized down one (31)--meaning i bought them to stretch to my true waist of 32". They are a straight fit but not baggy or loose. So often people seem to think straight fit means sloppy. I love the fit on these, and w/ slightly bigger thighs these fit great w/out being too loose.

I think in that smaller size you would def have a slim/straight leg cut. not a lot of taper and not a super slim thigh, but a nice classic cut. My two cents.

So, when is KMW going to again bring out some non-denim gear? Spring, I hope?

thats me in the first picture-- i sized down 1 to a 29 and they fit pretty slim. i really liked them and would buy them again.

You will look better by sizing down some.

uNiCoRnPriNcEsSx · Jan 26, 2011

can someone post up moar fit pics of 1980's? the name isn't really conducive to easy searches

I'm usually a 34W but sized down 1 on the 1950s to a 33W and they fit fine on the waist. But I wouldn't call them a slim fit in the legs.

that is not really their focus for now. They will have a loop wheeler sweatshirt that they will offer for next fall along with some leather goods. As far as I know, they do not have any collection plans for now.

Their business plan boggles me. The non-denim stuff went over extremely well before the exodus. They always had fabric quality on lock.
