Just literally bought a pair of the Skinny Straights from Jay. Great service on the phone. I'll get some fit pics for you guys when I receive them.

Which ones? The Japan Blues are sanforized, minimal shrinkage. The skinny straight are almost the same as N&F SG, 1" larger than tag, should sized down 1. Tight straight are 2" larger than tag, size down 1 or 2.

Hey Jay, do you have a measuring guide on the website? I can't seem to find it if there is.

Reason I ask is for the tight straight model size 29, the thigh measurement measures 10". Even my size 28 apc ps has a bigger thigh than that (blueingreen style measurements) and is already really really slim on me. I'm looking for a straight fit to replace my pbj 005s which are on their way out of commission.

Posting here as opposed to email in case others are wondering the same thing.

exactly! raised loops & pocket edges

jeans so solidly made, even the threads used on them seemed sturdier__ imo, better that Eternals, Warehouse ... or even Fullcount.

From our blog from quite some time back, but this is how we do it: http://blueowlworkshop.blogspot.com/...ide-denim.html. We measure the thigh from crotch seem to outer edge of denim at a parallel line to the front waist band. Measurement looks accurate, but I will double check tomorrow and adjust if it is wrong.

Revolve is an awesome store, though I dont get why they are selling at about 80 dollars more than BiG or blueowl

That's because you can usually find a coupon code for 10-20% off at Revolve.
