Nudie SJ: dry vs. prewash sizing (see pics)

[shelton]

I'm want to get some Nudie Slim Jims Dry Black but since I cant find any my size locally I dont know if I should go with a 28x32 or 29x32.

For reference, I'm 5' 10 1/2, 152lbs and wear...

Nudie Slim Jim Iindigo Thread Embro

- 30x32 fits perfect brand new without any stretch

- waist measures 15.5 across laying flat

Diesel Zathan 772

- can barely squeeze into in 28x30 in this wash, other washes I'm more like a 29x32

- waist measures 15.5 across laying flat

I think these pre-washed 30x32 Slim Jims fit really good and am wondering how much I should downsize for dry to get close to the same fit? In general I like my jeans slim but still with room to breathe where needed if you know what I mean.

30x32 look nice - accenting your bod n such nice cut without being like a secon skin layer on ya ..

I say go for them - cause even though they'll stretch out - they will shrink right back after wash n dry

The Slim Jim's waist measurement only changes 1/4 inch as the tagged size goes up.

For example:

28w = 14.75"

29w = 15.00"

30w = 15.25"

The biggest change happens at the hip:

28w = 16.25"

29w = 17.25

30w = 18.25

If you only go by waist, then given the stretching it sounds like 29 is the way to go.

I am almost exactly the same size as you and I wear 29s.

Thanks everyone!

I just got a pair of 29x32’s I ordered and I probably should've gone with a 30" waist but hopefully these will work out. The hip area is really tight and I have to wear them pretty high to button them too so needless to say my unborn children are not too happy with me right now.

don't let the unborn children tell you what to wear.
