here is an easier way to view the LOC flickr stream. i love this thread

^yeah that's 34" all around buttoned. i paid 155 i think. not sure if you know where the store is, but here is their website, http://www.sidmashburn.com/. it's a pretty cool store, the guys working in there were super nice. they only have new standards by the way, at least when i went in there.

ha. if by photochop you mean cropped in iphoto, then guilty. i think the flash makes it look weird. natural light for the last two looks better. and the camera angle/lens makes it look like a grew a foot and shed weight.

thought i'd add something to this thread as my first post, as this thread certainly helped me a lot.

apc ns size 29. usually a 32 in most pants, but my best fitting jeans are size 30 lucky brand. my true waist (at belly button) is 31.5"ish, and where i wear my jeans is 33.5". i'm 5'9ish 155 lbs.

day 2:

this is about 2.5 weeks later, everyday wear:

i was able to try them on before i bought them (sid mashburn in atlanta carries apc ns, a gentleman's clothing store, very helpful staff in there). i was able to button all the buttons up at first with a little trouble, and the sales clerk said these were the right size between this and sz 30. but i haven't made up my mind on these yet. i dig the profile, but they are still pretty tight in the hip/crotch area (it's been a month now). part of that is probably i'm just not used to slim fitting jeans, as these are def the tightest pants i've worm regularly. sometimes i wish i'd gone for the 30. they stretched a lot in the waist which now measures 17" laid flat. i'm gonna wear them for another month maybe and see how it goes, cause to be honest they're not the most comfortable in the hips/crotch area where dude comfort is key. maybe this cut just isn't for me, who knows. hope this helps the kiddies out there
