hey all, i've been interested in dior homme and have been reading this thread and researching others over the past few weeks.

i've worn diesel exclusively before this, and i've been a size 28x30 in all diesel cuts for the most part.

i was advised to go with a 28 for dior homme in a 19cm raw indigo denim. i'm only 5'8, around 150-160 lbs., but i think tapered can look ok on me. i was wary of getting diors because of the long inseam, but i've seen it can work (i found a member on the board is about the same height/weight as me, and his diors look pretty damn good).

can any of you give some more personal advice on choosing a size for dior, now that i've laid out some basic attributes about my height/size, relative sizing in diesels?

further, i heard that kva would be taking over for dior homme, and that by s/s 08 the raw denim may be discontinued? or maybe re-designed? can anyone say something about this?

and finally, i've seen different reports on the quality control of dior homme. i know a few people that have had some suspect stitching on their jeans, and i have also seen severe holes being made in some (holes growing in the crotch area only after 4 months!)

thanks for your time.

Hello jb5, welcome. I've been wearing diesel too before wearing diors. I have 19cm mij raw, and I took the same size as my Diesel size (basically, zathan one). At the beggining, it was a tad bit hard to button them up, but then they fitted really good. 19cm is really okay, even coming from bootcut or relaxed straight fit. The long inseam is fun to play with, i'll keep mine.

Don't worry for the raws in ss08 or quality control, really so few issue with diors. I think that the raw will stay with kva, even if the rest... Well...

Hope i've been helpful.

thanks JuyLe, for your reply. here are pics of me in a brand new pair of thanaz 8ev that i got a few months back. they measure 28x30. i'm wearing them pretty high in there because i was stretching them out, but after wearing them for a few months, they have stretched out pretty well. they're still fairly tight (hey, they're diesels and i come from honestforum!)

can anyone draw some application of this to dior homme 19cm?

[TheGrapist]

If you can reply to my PM, I think I can help you out a great deal.

[FAM0US.]

My 19CM-MIJ as of late...

[midnight]

Lovin the fit on those, famous. Most guys generally wear the 19's slimmer, but i wear 21's and they look pretty much just like yours.

[itsmedeka]

really hoping someone would want to..

guys, just got my grey distressed jeans from ss07, and they fit bit too tight than id like on the waist. They are very light, but the material is superb. Will this eventually stretches out or should i just sell this and size up?

[lacquered]

you should, its a great jeans, fits really nice..

its approx. 41 cm

my grey distressed ss07 grey jeans fit exactly like that. The front part looks good, just the ass part is a bit:confused:

Where did you get it? I am sitll debating whether I want the raw or distressed.

[snafu]

Did you notice that the title of the thread was Dior Homme Denim (FAQ ON FIRST PAGE - read me)?

yes but that still doesnt have what im looking for in cm iv never tried on 26's and cm is alot more accurate than inches i realise a 26 will fit more like a 28 i know the sizing pretty well but never laid hands on 26's cause they never have them in stock anywhere iv been

but i dont just want to do a conversion of 2.6 to get it into cm

because all on the first page gives you what it is likly to strech out to i was wanting to know the waist brand new (unstreched)

you deal with loads dior denim any chance you could help me out from your experience?

dude, the actual measurement of a 26 brand new unstretched is 28.

[Angry Inch]

Well, if you're looking for accuracy, you should start by using 1"=2.54 cm, not 2.6cm.

I'm going to get my new 21cms raw (Japan) hemmed today, and would like to know how much they will shrink after the first soak/wash. Are they sanforized? Please let me know...I don't want to f*#% up and hem them too small...

[ajax]

You can find the 17 cm MIJ raw jeans in Paris aswell.

TheGrapist: can you get these aswell??

I'd really recomend not to hem, but if you have to, only take an inch or two off.

They'll shrink up a little bit when you wash them, but it can be countered by hanging weights from the bottom of your jeans while they dry. I believe diors are sanforized.

I just don't think the 21cms look good with a ton of bunching. The 19cms looks better with the bunching/stacking. I'm thinking about hemming them to a 34" length. I'm 5'11".

[BIG WILLIE STYLE]

Yeah, I agree, the stacking on 21cms can look kind of sloppy, but at 5'11'' with the right shoes you should be able to rock it. Maybe posting some pictures would help. Still, I'd really urge against hemming that much, the long inseam is pretty much the defining characteristic of diors.

[Brockg777]

What would be my ideal size in mij 21cm? I wear a 28 in apc hipsters, though I might have been able to go with a 27.

Is there any reason you can't wash them first, then wear them for a few weeks, and then decide how much/if to hem them?

Every single time I've done this with jeans I thought were too long I ended up keeping the original length and being real glad I never shortened them.

on the FAQ it says:

"The waist when laid flat measures half the tag size plus one. Meaning a 28 is 15" (28/2 + 1). A 30 measures 16", a 31 is 16.5", and so on."

Focusing on "laid flat," what does this mean exactly? Does this mean that the jeans are laid on a flat surface with the natural dip of the waist (making a triangle/v shape) measured across, or does this mean that the front and back of the waist is aligned, measured across?

i've read in old threads that there were some measurement guidelines around here, but i can't find out which. things like how to take the crotch measurement, etc. the way i measure my jeans may be different than what is discussed here.

a little insight on this would help me a lot, thanks!

I'm not quite sure why you had to ask this, especially since you PM'ed me with the same question. And I responded, and you replied back. The jeans are measured with a natural "dip". In order to align them you'd have to pull and perhaps stretch them, and that kind of ruins the point of getting accurate measurements.
