^All jeans stretch out, with enough hard wear it should go out to a 30, but if I were you I would just take the initiative and just size to 29, not 30
My slim jims are 29 and I'm a true 30 as well.

Also, if I get the New Standards, what size should I get after sizing down?I usually buy my regular straight jeans in 30x30, and slim jeans usually in 31x31 or 32x32. I have big thighs, so I'm looking for more of a fitted look, not too tight and not too baggy. Thanks in advance lol. |
I just got my New Standard yesterday and here is what I have to say. I'm about the same height 5'7-5'8ish and the inseam of 34 is really long. I usually get a 32x30 in other denims so im gonna have to get a hem job on my New Standard. For someone your height and my height, the stacking just looks sloppy because its so long.
As stated before, Im a 32x30 on most denims and I sized down 2 on the NS. When I tried them on yesterday, it fitted real good but I heard and felt that APC NS stretches like crazy. I had a few centimeters left over on my waist, so I decided to exchange mines for a 28x34. Some say the perfect fit is when you have to struggle to button up the first button because it will eventually stretch out into a nice fit.
Hope that helps. |
Well, after reading what you said I got a tape measure and my inseam turned out to be 32. So I must have pretty long legs for my height lols. I think I'm gonna go ahead with the NS and if it looks too bad I'll go get em hemmed. |

yup
they'll be garbage if they jack up the price, but until then
buy as many test pairs as you want |

Actually I decided to size down 3. So will be exchanging my 30x34 for a 29x34.
True waist: size 32
Tag size: size 29 |

You could try wedging something in between the waistline when you soak them. It might help prevent some shrinkage if not most. |
what happens if i choose to skip the whole soaking process completely? |

If you have fades that have settled in and you decide to soak them after, they'll shift from the shrinkage.

this.
and also,
I have some Levi slouch skinnys (520) that i just started breaking in for honeycombs and whiskers. The length is just fine but i wanted to shrink the waist. The length is 30 and the waist is 32 but the seat is a little baggy. Should i sit the upper of the jean in the warm water and just let that shrink.? if so, how far down should in the water should i go and will it be irregular fitting throughout the jean afterwards.?
another, how long will this set back my breaking in process.? |
