If the leg opening is a concern you'd probably want the SE05BSP purely because the leg opening is almost an entire inch smaller than the 3001/F310/1001...

Also, the SE05BSP accommodates larger thighs better than the other slim models while still maintaining a slim look.

*Sighs and searches diligently for a pair of SE05BSP* I guess I'll start saving then. But I only have/had $200 to spend.

Well, tapered is just what I'm looking for, especially since I have larger than norm thighs. Slims are fine, I just don't want them to hug *too* much.

I was recommended the se05bsp's from another forum, but it's a bit out of my price range. The 3001's I can get to me, with shipping, for under $200 at 2nd.

Idk, I'm just lamenting because I sized so horribly on a pair of Samurai 0500's due to weight loss and sizing problems. The leg opening isn't too much of a problem, but if I can get it under 8.5, that'd be awesome.

i wouldn't say "fitted" is between slim and straight. i'd say fitted would be pretty slim.

the general consensus, as i've read, is to go one size from your true waist. this will get you a well-rounded slim fit. go true to size for a slimmer fit.

Touche. I see where you're coming from. But yea, a not too slim tapered fit sounds good. I was leaning toward the one size down in the first place. Thanks

Can anyone suggest sizing on a pair of 3001s? I want a "fitted" fit. Ideally halfway between a straight and slim fit. Thanks in advance.

I have a few concerns with some 0500xx I just got off the supermarket. They are size 27.

Are they supposed to only have 4 buttons total (3 fly + 1 waist) ?

Jeans feel soft and pansy compared to my 710xx. No stiffness whatsoever.

Pockets also feel extremely shallow, once again compared to my 710.

If anyone could help me out I'd be most grateful.

My jeans have 5 buttons total, waist included. I'm pretty sure they jump to 5 buttons from the jump from a size 33 to a size 34. And yes, after being washed, they're pretty damn soft and fuzzy, if I may add. And I'd agree with the shallow pockets.

Can anyone suggest a way to keep denim from dropping beneath the ankle? I keep stepping on them at the heel in my Vans. They're already starched, I dislike pinrolling.

Ah, my fault. Still, this was my first look and they look amazazing

Not mine, but a friend told me about having one of these babies:

Krispy Kreme x Bacon Cheeseburger x Google

Damn, I need to try making my own

didnt buy them yet, waiting until next spring. Still debating on whether I should go to BiG or order from 2nd though

Ahh, alright then. It might be a bit more work, but the 2nd > BiG. It's cheaper and you get goodies.

Getting them off the APC website is often hardest, because it's the most traveled site for them, being the mother site and all. Check the APC thread for more retailers if you can't find them there though.

APC's are indeed sanforized, and they'll stretch 2-3 sizes on average just like Nudies.

If you want a slim fit, you did right on getting them a size down. I have a true to size pair and the fit is pretty close to straight.

Boston

As much as I hate their sports teams, Boston is truly a beautiful place. It is the epitome of Autumn, imo.

The Angels pitching overall needs to step up. Spier sucks, period.. So much so, that I spell his name wrong without having the desire to google for a quick check.

does Levi's ever made 501 shrink to fit for women??

No.

does washing jeans in bleach detergent with enzymes and shit just fade them quicker or does it damage the fabric too?

The longer the material is immersed in bleach, the more damage is done. Color loss can also be determined by time. You might also take into consideration that regular bleach isn't made for colors, it can easily pull out quite a bit of color quite quickly. If you plan to use a detergent, go with a detergent that has color-safe bleach, such as Clorox 2.

thinking if i should get 710xx in a 34. don't want them to be too slim but i would like a slimmer cut as opposed to these bk's. maybe size up on the 710xx?

For the XX's I'd suggest sizing up one if you like a slimmer, but not too slim fit.

?

im just wanting to know what are some good ways to wash my imperials?

just stick them in the washer? wear them in the shower (using deinm soap)? or should i just bubble soak them with agitation?...

thanks

What are you looking to do with them? And how dirty are they?

I'd suggest the 0500 Samurai's over the 5000, they 0500 have the leg taper.
