default APC NS Sizing

Howdy,

Size down on your measurements with a measuring tape - you need to measure your actual waist where you would wear the jeans. I wear Levis size 31 (well I did, it's been ages since I wore them), my waist measures 33 inches and I have size 29 New Standards. Whilst they have now stretched out OK I probably could have gone to a size 30 for a slightly more relaxed fit. Depends on how big your thighs are though and what type of fit you're going for. Good luck.

^I just got this as a PM. Holy fuck, I'm getting 2 totally different answers.

I'm just a little confused as to whether I should size down according to measurement or 'Jean size'

The levi's mentioned above are tagged a 31, and the waist is 34inch according to my measuring tape.

I have bigger legs in general thanks to soccer, so I think sizing down 2 will be best; 29 or 32?

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry

My apologies in advance for asking a question that has probably been asked a hundred times; How much will NS stretch out in the waist? I just measured a freshly washed pair of levi's that fit me perfectly in the waist (34inch). Should I get 29's (original waist of 31inch according to contexts charts) or a 30 (original 32inch waist)?

Info on those chukkas?

Markus... Definitely at least 5 years younger Very nice BR shirt. And Salaami's is great looking too... I'll have to check out the Pike bros site!

Appfaff - jeez, short sleeves! I'm jealous! And nice fit on your 660's - sweet denim, isn't it?

Still darned cold here...

Vis, 811, TNF flannel, Carhartt

Can I get a fit shot of that Carhartt Jacket? I'm thinking about getting one...
