Small Questions About Denim Thread FAQ PG 1 Vol 3 - 2012

I'm looking to purchase some Nudies or APCs for the first time I'm a size 32 in Levi's 511 skinny do i go up a size, go down, or just stay the same?

[quote="Crimson"]I'll go as high as like $200 This will be my first high end jean purchase, so I'm still kinda of reluctant to drop too much on the first go.[/quote] for $200 there really isnt much to pick from. There are the typical three like Nudies, APC, and Naked&Famous. If you are into straight legs, check out the Average Joe from Nudies, Rescues from APC, and Slim Guys from Naked&Famous.

[/quote] not exactly sure how you sized on your levis, but i'll assume you 32 is your true waist. for nudies size down one or two from true waist and for APC size down two from true waist.

do SL-100x and NS fit like Slim Jims? if so, i'm a 29x30 in SJ but the inseam for SL-100x is 37 and i'm not sure what the inseam for NS are so would i have to get them tailored or something?

You could get them hemmed if you want to, or you can just let them stack. It's personal preference.

Do you guys think I will like the nudies Big (Sharp) Bengts if I prefer levis 511 (not skin tight, but fitted)? I believe I am 33x30 so I guess sizing down to 32x30 is enough? Also I find it a little weird that self edge sells cheaper jeans online than in stores, because I would prefer to try them on :/
