ouss, can't see the difference. Though the second one looks longer and more tapered. Maybe a visual effet. But +1 with Egpt, I'm a 29 in APC NS and I wear a 32 in DH 19cm (both tight), and probably a 33 in 21cm.

hmmmmmm.....

i miss a DIOR HOMME DENIM thread here.

here we go!

post your stuff and tips or questions abut shape, 19cm / 21cm, denim fading or or or....HERE.

... here's an excellent Dior Homme FAQ / size guide written by TheGrapist.

Which jeans are the raw jeans? The Nostalgy or the Brut?

They're both raw, Brut is french for raw or dry or who cares. LVR named the MIJ one, and the MII another name. Don't know why.

Ok, then which one is the MIJ one?

The more expensive of the two.

What does MII and MIJ mean?

Made in Italy and Made in Japan respectively. MIJ ones are better. They're slimmer and they stretch less. If you need to know why else MIJ is better than MII, I'd urge you took look around SuperTalk some more before considering buying $300+ jeans.

Do Dior Homme jeans come in (insert inseam under 37" here)?

No. All raws are 37 to 38" in inseam. Most people let them bunch or stack around the ankles, especially with the 19cm model. If you want them shorter, by all means hem them. Dior Homme cords, "soft jeans" (ie: Beige jeans, grey jeans, all of the jeans using a softer cotton), etc, have inseams from 37" to 40" (the larger the waist, the closer to 40". Again, you can hem them. It isn't illegal).

What does 19cm and 21cm mean?

They refer to the measurement of the hem of the jeans when laid flat, at a certain size (more on that later). The 19cm jean is the tapered model, and the 21cm jean is more of a straight leg. There is also a 17cm model, but I've never seen them in the US.

How does the sizing work?

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.

The jeans will stretch about an inch. (The official advice from Dior Homme (the NYC store/ US Flagship at least) is to get the jeans that are tight in the waist when you try them on.)

Also keep in mind that these jeans have a low rise. If your TRUE waist is a 30, (and I mean waist, not at or just above your hips, where you will wear the jeans), and the are at or right above the hips are like 34", don't be surprised that when you buy a 27 or a 28 and they're way too tight.

Finally, the hem measurements. For Raw MIJ, the hems work like this:

19cm: A size 32 measures 19cm. a 31 measures 18.5cm, a 30 is 18cm, a 33 is 19.5cm. You should be able to figure out the rest from there.

For a MIJ 21cm, add 2cm to the measurement for the MIJ 19cm raw.

For MIJ washed, subtract 1cm from the raw size in the cut you're after.

For MII jeans, add 1cm to the size for the equivalent MIJ size/style/cut.

Also, one more:

What sizes are DH jeans/pants available in?

26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, and I've seen a 38 once.

Yes, I just said that they make 26's. But they do not sell them in the US. Or in most of Europe. Or anywhere outside of Japan.

should we just quote this whenever a new page starts? tyler durden unfortunately thinks so.

I literally hate this thread...well for the most part. I guess I just never understood all the sizing questions. Everyone makes buying jeans out to be some big undertaking and God forbid if your jeans stretch from it's tagged size.

If you don't like stretching, then you probably shouldn't wear jeans. It's just the nature of the fabric.

i just wish people were required a 500 post minimum to post on this thread.

this is easily the thread with the highest ratio of garbage and retards per post on sufu.

I would have said it was the APC thread.

edit: no actually you're right

Its because a simple google search of any combination of "Dior, raw, denim, jeans" will bring up atleast one sufu thread... and Dior is a more commonly known label then APC.
