teardrop explodes

Here's some more detailed pics showing the inside of the Rick leather. The tailor left the excess fabric there, rather than cutting it off. The size tag obviously had to be removed and stitched back in after the alteration.

The last pic shows a tiny tear on the sleeve which was stitched up. It's pretty much on the seam, I had a hard time being able to even get the camera to focus on it.

And here's a couple pics showing details of the dsquared2 tags

Hey guys, I have some measurements. I've done my best to provide accurate representations.

Rick Leather:

Tagged size small. Body and sleeves have been slimmed.

Shoulders: about 47cm

Chest (seam to seam under armpit): 52cm

Length (measured from back of neck to bottom of wool banding: 68cm

Arcadius Jean:

Tagged size 29. Unaltered

Waist (laying flat): 40cm

Waist (circumference) about 83-84cm

Inleg: 37 inches

Hem: 17.5cm

Dsquared Trench (100% wool):

Tagged size 48, fits pretty true to size for an overcoat

Shoulders: 43cm

Chest: 52cm

Length: 88cm

Happy to provide more measurements if necessary. Also, later tonight I'll snap a few pics to show the alteration job done to the Rick leather.

As for the model in the pics, he's about 6'2"-6'3" and around a size 46 chest. I'm 6'0" and a size 44 chest. I usually wear XS or size 44 and all items are a little big on me, although more than wearable.

Hope this helps

Just to make sure, these are the black 19cm raws aren't they? I know they're the MII version, I can't seem to find Black MIJ 19cm raws anywhere in Japan.

I've had heaps of pm's regarding all 3 items so I will take measurements later today for all garments.

Selling a couple of things that I've never really been all that satisfied with the fit of. All items have been worn a couple of times.

Stag FW0809 Rick Owens Blistered Lamb leather. DRKSHDW size Small. Bought this off of minomni. It was huge for a size small so I had the sleeves and body slimmed. SOLD

Dior Homme Arcadius jean. MIJ Size 29. Worn a a handful of times. Still have the hang tag. SOLD

Also selling a Dsquared2 wool trench. I know Dsquared2 isn't liked on here, but there is a fairly classic trench, unfortunately it's too big for me. Size 48 Made in Italy. SOLD

More pics and details of all items available on request.

Is the CCP fencing still for sale?

Unfortunately, the fit everywhere is not great. Obviously you could taper them, but I think you're still gonna have problems with the waist and seat. Even with tapering it'll look like you're wearing jeans which are too big for you. Sorry man.

I'd get rid of those man, buy a smaller pair. They're way too big

Some pretty epic fades on this pair

yeah i'm with the others. if you're true size 35, i wouldn't size down 4. if you're adamant on going down that far i suggest you try on a pair of 31's first. i wouldnt be surprised u damage the denim before you end up stretching it.

most people have a hard enough time going 3 sizes down.

Also, unless you're very tall, I'd probably reconsider going down the 19cm path

You might want to size up imo........

Very nice fit on this page btw..

Yeh sizing down 4 for someone that big sounds like a trainwreck

^ You definitely should not be getting a 29

I have rarely seen fake dior denim on ebay...

Are you kidding?

Hope it works out well for you man, and don't forget to post some fit pics if you decide to get them.

If they looked good then go with them. I'm afraid I can't give too much more sizing advice without seeing them on.

^ All jeans will stretch. I've had washes before that have stretched 2+ inches. And no you don't wear them on your waist, but Dior's are also sized big. You've tried them on so you'll have more of an idea but you're smaller than me so imo a 29 would be too big. But I mean did the 29 look good? If it looked good then get it.

Just for reference, here's the fit on my size 28 raws. My waist and hips are similar size to yours. Hope this helps

It's hard to say man. But I'm similar size to you in the waist (bout 28-29). I wear size 28 in black raws. I'm thinking 28 would be your size.

your hips are 6 inches larger than your waist?

That's common for someone who is quite skinny.

I am looking to get my first pair of jeans, still looking around for options and alternatives. But it seem to me i like the way Dior sits on me. Then again, as you guys might point out, not everyone's body is meant for Dior jeans. I just thought it look the best on me due to its cutting.

Idk what are you guys' opinion on its fitting on me becuz i do not own any, but i might be able to describe my body? I am actually a skinny guy with slim legs, really slim. I am an Asian btw. Standing at 173cm.

Hmmmm. Here's a picture, i'm in red. Do you think Dior suits me? Or i must actually wear one to be able to judge?

Judging from that pic as long as you get the size right they should look good.

^ Have you owned a pair of jeans before?

Denim stretches when it has pressure applied to it. Even if the waist is not real tight it will still stretch a bit because pressure is applied when you sit down etc. The thigh will stretch if the jeans are tight around the thigh, and again, they don't have to be skin tight because they will stretch from the natural movement of wear. Jeans will not normally stretch around the calf and ankle because there is not enough pressure applied in those areas.

Dude, come on, this is pretty basic knowledge for anyone who has worn a pair of jeans before, let a lone someone posting on a denim forum. The question of Dior's stretching has been discussed countless times in this thread.

PLEASE NOTE: Alot of people buy Dior's way too tight because they are under the impression that they are gonna stretch out a heap. If they look like shit when you first put them on then no amount of stretching is gonna make them look good. To reiterate what I said above, some people just do not have the body structure for Dior's. I hate to sound like a jerk, but that's the reality.

Just to generalise here - unless you're over 6ft, anyone wearing size 30s and up in 19cm raws probably shouldn't be wearing 17.5s. In fact, you'd have to be close to 6ft for 28s and 29s to look good. Many of the guys who post fit pics don't really have the body structure to be wearing 19s, let alone 17.5s. The reality is that Dior's don't look good on everyone.

^ Personally I don't think Dior's suit him, hips and thighs are too big. I'd be looking at different jeans

hi guys would like to get some opinion on DH. I'm thinking to get another 19cm MIJ but not sure about the size. This is the one that I've got 19cm MIJ size 29. Should I size up or stay with this size. I was thinking to size up to 30. Sorry for shitty pics.

To be honest, this isn't flattering. I'm not sure sizing up will help

cuz they are fit pic and not wayw pics?

So everyone has to remove excessive items of clothing? Fit pics look better with shoes and a top imo
