Tried on some stretch levi’s 511, definitely the best fitting pants i’ve tried. Just wish levi’s had better washes and maybe premium versions of them. Loved 512’s and bought a bunch of them before but it’s a struggle to get my feet through the leg openings.

Has anyone ever copped from Okayama? Based in Japan and they have something I want.

Nope, but they're definitely legit...

I like the 511’s too. I tried them out after another pair (possibly 512) fit more like jeggings than jeans. 511 has a good enough taper for me, since I don’t need them to hug my ankles. And they also aren’t tight, which is what I get with a lot of other slim fits.

Thanks. Always have concerns with ordering stuff from overseas.

I also tried out the slim stretch jeans from polo. The wash was nice but damn they were constricting my calves.

Right now I got a polo one in a faded medium blue color, a rl denim & supply black one, and a levi’s one in a dark blue color. Still regret not buying a nice blue / gray one from the polo outlet last year. Been eyeing some indigo jackets from Rogue Status and Apolis but they’re pricey.

I haven't dipped my toes into the denim jacket game yet, paying for IH denim is already expensive enough..

Looking to get a couple pairs of nicer denim but only issue is that I need a 36 length. My best bet to go with Nudie or do y'all know other brands that have longer options

Iron Heart? But IH is definitely a step up in price.

A lot of raw denim brands only have 36 inseams like 3sixteen, iron heart (mentioned above), rogue territory. Any brands in particular you're looking at? Can't say about designer denim though

Just copped the used north from Acne. Should be my last pair of jeans for a while. Will post my collection when it arrives.

Sweet, can’t wait

I would post my collection but it’s very underwhelming.

Petite standard is the skinniest. The petite new standard is a combo of the new standard and the petite standard

Do they make the PNS in stretch? Not sure I have seen them but I know they make the new standard in stretch

No idea but APC’s stretch an insane amount.

 

[shogun]

Yeah, was thinking if they actually made an official stretch version then people might have to size down 2-4 sizes.

I’m always looking for a medium to light blue jeans with nice whiskering that aren’t too expensive. These rrl ones are perfect but i’d never spend that much.

I really don't know how people buy denim with no taper.

What kind of leg opening are you looking for when you taper your jeans?

Don't really know. Always try to go with my PNS leg opening as my preference. Which I find had to come by.

Smaller than 7 inches i'm assuming. You should look into Oni, they have cuts w/ aggressive tapers but with good space in the thighs/top block.

My main problem is the length. Don't trust any tailor around me to hemm my denim. I'm short so these regular 34 length jeans don't always workout.

Bruh you gotta find a reputable tailor in your city and trust he's a professional banking on his craft. I don't think I've bought a pair of jeans that I didn't have hemmed and tapered by a tailor.
