I would say that most of my pants fit in to the slim or straight leg category. I have 3 pairs of MFSC pants and none of those could fit into anything below a slim straight category. I think my butt and thighs are the culprit that make it look I am wearing slimmer pants than I am. Those Garrison pants are a perfect example. Johnb from DB looks like he is wearing a straight fit in his Garrisons, but I look like I am wearing a much slimmer pants because... Well let's just say I fill then out more than he does haha.

Anyway, I'll move on after now revealing they I am in fact a try-hard.

Volvo, my jacket costing as much as your car makes me feel even worse because you don't have a car, you technically own a tank

you nailed the question to the head there. you seem to have big thighs, so your jeans trousers look slimmer than they really are. Anyhoo from you write it seems clear that you've done your fair bit of research on this! If you feel you couldn't do without a bit of taper I'd say the Ues 400T would suit you extremely well. Even for a scientific point of view only have a look at 400T measurements! For my own personal and very idiosyncratic taste something like SC47's or TCB50's cuffed clean and short with no break would be even better, but you seem to know what you want quite well.

Keep on the "try hard" thing! you've got great style and good taste on matching your pieces.

Wasn't really planning on snapping any flicks today for this, but my homie BigHeadTaco came by. 
Take's a dope Japanese cat that tests cameras, and came by today to share the new Leica M10 with us and do a short video camera exchange with his homie thats headed to North Korea (Leica North America said "No way" to having the M10 leave the country) to shoot a Paediatric Hospital funded by the Canadian government. He must have shot this little jammer on his Iphone and I stole it from his IG when he posted it. 

I painted this denim Maple cap last night that a homie got me for christmas. I lost my "TS" Knickerbocker Mfg cap a few weeks ago, but found some acrylic and a brush in the basement that wasn't totally destroyed..  happy with how it came out. TS also works since they are my initials 

Strike Gold T.

Mister Freedom 744 workman shirt. Love how much this has changed over the last 6 months. 

Orgueil Nep Jean. I actually really wanted to get the Earl55 cut from these cats, but the day before was watching James Corden and he had that model Cara Delevingne on.. I was hyped on her kit and she inspired me to drop into these, light, loose top, tight at the bottom, carrot cut pants. I've worn them a ton but since they're so light and loose they don't really show much age. Little different steeze for me but my ladys a stylist and I always get the nod of approval when I put em on, so all is good. I also like that I can easily have my hands in my pockets.

Vintage Chucks. 

Love Tj

That TS looks legit.  I always have had troubles writing the letter S for artistic purposes also I've never heard of the brand Orgueil and it looks like a dope brand and what are those extra buttons on the inside of the waistband, are they for braces?

Too skinny makes me look out of proportion while too loose makes me look even wider and quite sloppy as well. I have partially cured this by always cuffing and making sure that my pants never have any break at all.

those roys are your best fitting pants i reckon. do you mind sharing measurements? i know they're no longer available, but might be good reference for when he releases his next jeans (i want a fit like that).

cheers, dude!

Thanks! I think it is a tie between my Roys and my Ooes for best fit personally and now after measuring them, realize they measure nearly EXACTLY the same, minus the fact that I don't have them cuffed as short. They are at 26.5" length vs. the 25.5" length of the Roys, which sort of explains what you pointed out a little while ago on denimbro  . The only difference is that the Ooes are just slightly slimmer in the knee The Roys were a second hand pickup that turned out to be PERFECT!

Measurements (inches):

waist: 33

front rise: 12

rear rise: 16

thigh: 12.5

knee (11inches down): 9

hem: 8.35

length with them cuffed how I wear them: 25.5

Yeah the thigh and seat are always the big issue areas for me. The Ues are close, but I think the thigh may be a bit large and the rise is a bit short for my current tastes. The TCBs are almost certainly too large for me. I would have to try something like that on before going in on them. I have never worn something over a 9in hem. I'll be in Japan this summer though so maybe I can check them out!

[oomslokop]

thanks for that @dudewuttheheck! yeah i think the looser knee makes a big difference. i like it when there is a perfectly tailored taper from knee to hem. not too aggressive but also not too straight that it (can look like it) flares down the bottom (think roy's early jeans or pbj xoo7). actually most of iron heart's jeans have it, though they don't advertise it that much.

Orgueil is a line we get from the guys at Studio D'Artisan. It's cool stuff, a little more of an old school tailored look, more 3 piece suits and lighter fabrics that don't seem to fit into the regular Studio line up. The buttons on the insides are for suspenders. That "S"... I agree they suck. I actually started this one backwards and it seemed to work.

Yeah a lot of Iron Heart jeans do have that issue. I have no idea why people like the 666 fit so much

Lol I still stand by my point on the 666. It depends on the exact one, however. Some of them have almost no taper at all which looks very strange if not cuffed.

Its been snow storming and freezing rain here for almost 3 days now but it cleared for a little while today so I went out to check out everything that was frozen. Turned out to be a beautiful little evening. Not the best photo for a fit picture, but good enough !

I usually never take a photo before work because well.. my work clothes are just old skateboard clothes and not that cool but the TCB bush pants were looking to good to not post today. These are by far my favourite fitting pants, if I could find an identical fit without the big pockets, Id be the happiest denim nerd alive

check with Inoue - he might make you a pair...
