she cant fit the womens cuts because she needs 11.5" thighs. im guessing youre athletic? or just curvy lol

Yep i lift weights.

men's denim also seems to have options in the cheaper price range, and I didn't want to drop more than $150 on a pair of jeans if they're only going to fit so-so. i also can't really find any to try on. already got the folks at the local barney's to agree to give me a call if they get in any women's raw jeans, but nothing at the moment

Ok, I tried on the weird guys and some apc petit standards and they were both waaaay too roomy in the back waist when the thighs and hips were tight. very sad because there were those fade to red weird guys for $120.

i guess my problem with waists on jeans in general isn't the total size but how curvy they're cut in the back/the shape. the waist can be super tight around the front and sides but still gape in the back.

I actually tried on some weird guys today! the waist still gaps a tiny but in the back but honestly not more than the average women's jean. from the size chart they (size 31) should've been perfect but they were tight in the thighs. maybe it was because they were the linen blends? maybe those ran a bit small

they were the only ones in stock to try on sadly. i'll go to the barney's in town and try on some of their plain old selvedge

anyone have recommendations for a raw jean with a curvy cut? I'm looking for an 11.5" thigh if 100% cotton or 11"-11.5" with stretch at a size 29 or 30. Measurements are 27.5" natural waist, 33" upper hips (about where jeans would sit on average), 38.5" hips, and 22.5-23" thighs. In prewashed denim I have to buy curvy cuts for the waist to not gape in the back. Every pair of raw denim I've come across seems tailored to a more slim fit, or at least not a curvy one. Sling & Stones Delilah is the only thing that looks large enough from the size chart, but I'd prefer a straight leg and under $200.

I'm also 5'9" so i'd want a 34 inseam (to get some stacking)

i recently got some levi 511s at size 31, which are slightly loose in the waist and almost too tight in the thigh (they measure at 11.3" ish across), so i assume that most men's skinny jeans are also out.
