Balmain Jeans Fit

[gocougs77]

I decided to get into high end jeans. I normally wear a 32 width/ 32 lengh in regular jean brands such as Levis, what do I wear in slim fit Balmain jeans?

Try them on at a retailer.....

Balmain and most other high end denim only display sizing for the waist. Youre going to have to size down since their denim runs larger than whats actually displayed. Balmain also usually has a set side length for style despite the waist variations.

But like CreateDestroy said, your absolute best bet is to just try them yourself at a retailer.

Go to a retailer and try them on before you commit to $700+ jeans. Balmain can be tough to find though.

Just like everybody has said, your best bet is to go to a retailer and try them on. Best of luck

You definitely have to try them on because sizing varies from styles and season. Lately it looks like they've made some more loose fitting versions to appeal more to the masses to you can't just say how one fits. IIRC they do not have any name indications either of how they would fit like APC (petite standards, new standards, etc...) or Dior (19cm, 21cm, etc...).

Style, quality (of build & materials) and brand name (which usually attached to style as well, Balmain are famous for the Biker jeans with those details by the knee). 
And also the cut. Levis just doesn't have the same cut as Dior or DRKSHDW jeans.

didn't even know Balmain had denim. That's a pretty big jump from Levis to such a high fashion brand like Balmain.
Jw, no interest in APC or even Diors?

Big city locations of high-end retailers (Barney's, Neiman's, Bergdorf's in NYC, etc.). I know the Barney's in Seattle has some pieces (at least they did in the fall). I was a little shocked considering there probably isn't much of a market for it around here.

@omgitswes I looked at diors but I like the look of Balmain better.

Anyone know of any other brand of jeans with the biker style similar to Balmain?
