Not wanting to Shrink or fade. But I mean, whatever is best for em is what I'll do. The info packet said soak in woollite in the tub, should I do this or something else?
What's the sizing like on a pair of Naked & Famous? Should I size down or what?
Alright Denimheads. I realize that these brands of jeans are probably crap by your terms but I was wondering what peoples experiences are with jeans from Express vs brands like BKE and Big Star.
They all suck. Tell us your budget and we can recommend some good brands.
Haha, like I said I am aware they are below your standards. I would top out at around $100 bucks for a pair of jeans and I definitely wouldn't buy a pair I wasn't able to try on first which limits my options.
So I tried on a pair of Naked & Famous Weird Guys today. Size 34 was extremely tight around the crotch-ass region, and I just barely got it buttoned up. Size 36 was comfortable around the crotch-ass region, and but there was a little slack around the waist. I'm thinking the 34 is probably the right size for me.. but I don't wanna end up with a pair of jeans that are way too tight. Does anybody who already owns the jeans know if they stretch enough that buttons that barely fasten will eventually fasten normally?
Thinking about buying my first pair of jeans over $100 what do you guys think about these?

It seems like a good sale? Any suggestions?
Yeah, definitely go with the 34's. I own 3 pairs of the Naked & Famous Weird Guys and they always start extra tight in the waist but eventually stretch out to a very comfortable size.So I tried on a pair of Naked & Famous Weird Guys today.

So, how do you guys make sure jeans will fit when you buy them over the internet? I don't think there's anywhere local for me to buy raw denim (at least, no where that I know of), so I may have to resort to the internet. All I wear is jeans, so I figure I should invest in a good pair or two. What are some good jeans to buy (sub $200)? Looking for a medium-slim fit. Not baggy, but not skinny either. I guess that would just be straight? Also, what's a good place to buy from? (I'm in Canada, if anyone from here has some specific advice)
What is the overall opinion of American Eagle jeans?
I have a $100 budget for jeans, need to try them in the store (this is quote difficult for my size, 30X34).
Oh my. Are the Naked and Famous named after a brand of jeans?What's the sizing like on a pair of Naked & Famous? Should I size down or what?
Buy from places that list measurements, take measurements of well fitting jean you own, tadaSo, how do you guys make sure jeans will fit when you buy them over the internet?

Does anyone know of where I can obtain some flared jeans? Almost bell bottom like, but not as absurd. Express used to sell these, but no more. I'm slim, 6ft3 and normal jeans don't look good on me.
sure, but something like naked and famous would probably be easier to source. more variety, too.Would 3Sixteen be a good brand for a first pair of raw denim.

by the way, I feel like i'm the only person (aside from a couple of dudes on superfuture iirc) who don't size down on their jeans. I just get what fits in the store (n&f, apc, 3sixteen). Never had any problems with stretching. Then again I top out at about 2 months of wear.
Well I know that, but I don't think that's entirely the case; since a lot of people buy them balls tight (ie, can only close the first few buttons) and stretch them out to fit over the course of a few weeks or so. one dude I read on some forum a month ago busted his top button off a pair of day-old n&f doing this. I don't get it.Well APC is vanity, so that's why they say 'size down 2' since a tagged 27 would have a 29 waist and if they bought a tagged 29 waist they'd end up with 31 inches.

Yeah, I should have been more clear in what I meant, i was talking about retail buying.. It's especially annoying when SA's mindlessly tell you to size down from what fits 'because it will stretch', as in all likelihood someone new to this stuff is not going to want to stretch them back out over the course of a month to just to fit into them again after that initial wash. there seems to be a lot of needless anxiety over denim sometimes *shrug*
oh and fwiw, I actually have jeans again . N&F weird guy grey and black. donated the cheesy leather patches to the garbage bin hah.

After needing a new pair of black jeans for a while I just jumped on a good sale price on Nudie slim jim dry black coated (that's a mouthful). I'm unsure how shiny I really want them, but I'm curious to see how it goes. For the price I got them for I'd have been looking at some pretty mediocre brands otherwise.
