Jeans w/ a modern fit/low-rise

[knucks]

I've posted this on the other SF, but am still looking for more information. I am looking for a modern fitting jean..maybe Japanese. My thighs are relatively large from the gym and my upper body is big, so I look weird in skinny jeans.

I am looking for a modern cut, maybe a bit bootcut (RRDS? I like the way they fit..). I was considering the PBJ xx-005 but those are gonna be too tight and I know it...and I do not want to size up the waist because I do not like sagging my jeans.

So, any suggestions? I'd like something like the RRDS (rise-wise) nothing higher. So anything from 8" to 10.5" would be great.

THANKS!

might want to try some LVC's 1947's i have big thighs too 23" around to be exact. and those fit snug on me

[knucks]

what is the cut of the Edwin Nashville? Those seem really solid to me...not too modern tho?

[knucks]

the edwin ed-47 look nice too..

thats the list i made and did extensive searching on bc i was looking for the same thing. they are all true straight legs, except for the noted ones. i bet the dior hommes could look straight depending on how high you have them hemmed up. hope this helps, and that no one flames you lol . . .

Hell, my thighs are 22" and I thought they were quite small ;;

Wouldn't anything with 47 in the name go against the whole modern fit thing?

dude check out the APC HIPSTER. true boot-cut, much better than the RRDS. RRDS = 300$ , Hipster = 140$ and yes, the hipster are def. dry selvedge.

better buy in my opinion.

[retemeris]

i'm pretty sure apc hipsters are completely straght leg.

they are selvage and have a low rise tho.

you might want to try imperial dukes too, as someone already mentioned. i recall someone said the thigh had some room a long time ago..

i think the skulls and diors 19 might be too skinny for you... maybe the 21cm would be more fitting?

[blank]

is there a slightly modern/relaxed pair of PBJ's? i think the denim looks incredible, but the cuts appear pretty slim

[PG2G]

I thought Hipsters were just New Standards with a lower rise, and thus slightly tapered. Only straight leg APC are Rescues, afaik.

hipsters are definatly bootcut, but straight all the way down with a larger leg opening, true to form boot cut. this is straight from the mouth of the rep at the APC store when i bought them. i bought them on purpose because i'm skinny and need a bootcut for when i rock my nike SB's or other fat shoes that look totally stupid wth my slim jim's and other sknnier cuts.

that's what i thought but the edwin 47 is supposedly a 47 fit w/ a low-rise

[knucks]

ok i am looking at either edwin ed47 or the nashville..im about to buy a pair of one of these..please what are your thoughts?

[knucks]

seriously? no one?

Have you tried browsing the rag and bone jeans?

dude if his legs are to thin for xx005 how will he fit in diors? (unless of course your talkin bout the 21 cm) and i own sd 103 and there pretty tight in the thigh as well

sooo ughhhh

[sbbbjm]

i have sd-103's, i cycle and have big legs, and i fit into sd-103's comfortably now. there was a bit of a stretching period but i def fit into them fine now, and yes i meant the wider hemmed diors.

[knucks]

"big legs" is a misconception on these forums...

still looking for information on the edwin..

what about imperial king or duke? wheres a place i can find them for sub-$200?

[viv1984viv]

Im sat in pbj 005s with a shirt on ( for christmas! ) and I cycle so my thighs are normal sized at 22inches, ive just measured the top of my thigh and its 22.5inches at the top thick part, so pbj 005s might still be worth considering man.

They look smart and modern. Im in the one wash, 31inch.

If you have 23inch thighs I expect a 32 would do you fine.

What kind of information are you looking for?

Check the "evolution of jeans thread". I've posted some pics of my ed-47s and theres some nice nashvilles too.

[zephyr11]

imperial dukes....

those might fit a lil tite at first...

but wear em often enuff, they'll get a fit u will love...

i've worn mine for bout 1mth straight, they've stretched a lil n i think it'll give more so it will all be fine...

[mike lowrey]

stop throwing all this "info" around, if you have facts/experience then please post but all this guessing is extremely confusing.

if he considered the pbj's too tight, then skull 5010 are a worthless suggestion. skull 5507's are a lot looser and might actually work, check the skull thread for measurements.

diors are hardly tapered, 21cm's could work for you. samurais, studio d'artisan sd-103's and imperials could work too.

[knucks]

currently my choices are imperial king raw indigo or edwin ed-47....there's a difference of about $70..the imperials are the more expensive..what to go what to get..

[bahnahnahs]

hmmm, what about slim fitting natural indigo jeans?

i havent come across one of them yet besides jomons that is, although jomon isnt really that slim also...

All the natural indigo jeans i seen are quite relaxed-fit.

i know what you mean bc many guys are skinny, but my quads are 25cm at the largest point, and when you take into account my smaller framed upper body, they are def 'big legs' -- i'm no rugby player or anything but i def have an athletic enough build that i can't pull off some skinny looks

[knucks]

ok the jeans i am now considering are the edwin ed-47 or imperial duke or king...i don't know which of the fits of the imperial would be more flattering on me..i think the duke's might be great in a 31..

[PG2G]

Out of curiosity, what makes the ed-47 better than the rest of the 47 repros?
