Karmaloop will give you the best deal, especially with the Cyber Monday codes they have going on right now. And here are two pics I just happened to have saved on my phone. I'll take better ones tomorrow though

Are petit new standards the skinny fit?  If so then yeah the skinny fit would probably be the most similar.  Though honestly your best bet is to measure your denim and compare to online measurements.  
 
you do know that most RRL is made from japanese denim right??
Yeah, I do realize that, but for the price of RRL there are many Japanese brands around that price range with superior quality. Plus, just about every brand uses some Japanese milled denim now. There are even Chinese brands that are priced very well with great quality too.  I do understand OP's interest in RRL as OP can actually try a pair of RRL compared to other companies overseas or just not in OP's area. I'm a little biased cause I am Japanese and a good amount of Japanese fits suit me well. For reference I'm currently wearing Samurai s710xx 19oz's and my past jeans have been Gap 1969's, APC New Standard (2008, before the switch to *** denim), and SEXI08 BK's.
do your thing but if you care about fit quality or want something other then just raw denim it's something you should check out

Japanese denim is great and all I'm sure I just like to be able to try on my jeans before I buy them
In regards to not being able to try denim on, I pretty much know the measurements I want from my previous denim purchases (The downside is that it took me years to figure out what cut(s) I like). I don't think I'll ever buy denim that isn't raw haha. I like that the denim is able to mold to my body and shrinking my jeans to fit if they are unsanforized. The way raw denim stacks on top of shoes the same way every time is a characteristic I like since I don't hem.

Just a heads up on the Naked and Famous Skinny Guy.

If you wear a 34 waist in Weird Guy... the 34 waist in Skinny guy will be hella tight.

I sized up to 36 in the Skinny Guy, but the bottom leg opening became far from skinny.

go to "Tate and Yoko" website, they have detailed and accurate measurements of all N&F products.

Use http://www.blueowl.us/ for the type of fabric and model you are looking into if they have it.  tateandyoko do not put specific measurements for different fabrics, eg they'll use the same weird guys measurements for the elephant 4s and for the indigo selvedge when they probably have slight variations in fit.  Also account for stretch, almost all denim will always stretch their measured waist size by about 1 inch or more after some wears.

The Skinny Guy was too tight, because the rise crashed the meat.  It ruins the curve.

I haven't tried the new cuts w/ N&F, but it seems their cuts are either skin tight or baggy.  I like the NS (minus bubble but) w/ a bit more tapering though. hhaha
 
Anybody have these? I like the fitment. I'm used to wearing 7's for comfort so I don't want to go too extreme on the weight and stiffness.

I wasn't talking about RRL
 
black label is a different line then RRL. by all means stick with your exotic overseas denims bro, just giving people options
 
Was looking to start on a second pair in addition to my current APC Petit Standard's and finally settled on a pair of Rogue Territory Stanton's. Thanks to all in this thread who constantly share information/their experiences!

Copped a pair of G star's off Gilt today. I hope they are on point. Never had a pair before.
 
For the price of Uniqlo jeans, are they the "best" you can get in that price range?

I know most of you guys are in the higher price brackets for jeans, but it's not something I can afford at the moment so I wanted to gather opinions on those ones hehe.

I had the 100stx from 3sixteen and all I can say is do not size down for those. if anything, sz 1 up.
