Why? The look isn't that flattering on girls, except for that girl with the nice ass on the Self Edge website. My girl only wears jeans like once a month, skirts / tights etc. etc. look way better.

This is probably the wrong thread to ask this....but....

where can one find a decent pair of regular guy, sub-100$ jeans these days? Straight fit, nothing fancy, something I can wear to the office and tuck a sport shirt or ocbd into if need be? I'm pretty short so no ultra-long rises or anything...and not a lot of whiskering or whatever. I used to just get gap jeans, but it seems that recently the rise is getting longer and there's all kinds of crappy whiskering ugly fading-whatever going on....

in the past this was true to some extent but recently many of newer womens cuts by somet, pbj, samurai, skull, etc. offer very flattering cuts.

yes wrong thread, but for sub $100 straight jeans just buy some levi 514s that are raw or unwashed. Can be had really cheap.

Thanks for the comments, boys.

We're pretty psyched about how they came out. She's reporting the expected, bearable tightness which will loosen gradually, and a rise a bit on the high side. But otherwise, perfect.

Hey! So I bought these in a 27 and I could barely button them and I could not zip them up entirely. When they were on they fit perfect everywhere except for the waist. How have yours worn in? They look tight in the waist in your pictures, but not as tight as they were with me. I returned them for a size 28. I am a little scared about my decision and just wondered how your 3Sixteens are wearing in? Thanks SO MUCH!

Don't have any 3sixteen, but if they are raw they will stretch a couple inches in the waist. I wore mine to bed for a while.

Nice way to drive off the ladies. Though people would have learned by now that girls do not find comments like this by random strangers complementary.

This probably is not the right thread but I am going to ask anyway. I am going to be in Honolulu and Vegas over the next two weeks and am thinking of taking the raw denim plunge. Are there any places in either of those two cities that would be recommended stops for that purpose?

personally i would have kept the 27s. I hate it when my jeans stretch to the point where i need a belt to keep them up
