Rod, I would try the Superdenim forum, but first, I would do a search.......you will find an INSANE amount of data on tight jeans.

Slim jeans with a small leg opening off of the top of my head include Cheap Mondays, Levis 511, Nudie Slim Jim/Thinn Finn, Julian Red (Various models), Acne Max, and many more.

id also reccomend looking thru the waywt thread and writing down the brand of whatever you see that you like the fit of. take that and search in superdenim and you should be able to get any info you need.

a tailor can make your jeans tighter

ok thanks, i been looking at those black thin finns. well so if i want tight leg opening you cant make this adjustment yourself. because i like the jeans i have aswell.

[cheapmuthafukr]

and so can you with a sewing machine and some straight pins. put them on inside out, pin them how you would like them to fit, and then just sew along the pins. if the jeans are not selvage, you will want to do this from the outseam and cut off the excess. if they are selvage you have 3 options: 1, sew the outseam and leave the selvage. this will cause the selvage at the hem to be fairly wide, which could look funny if you cuff, but will lead to crazy traintracks down the line. 2, sew the outseam and cut off the selvage. overlock stitch, or cut with pinking shears to avoid major fraying. 3, taper them from the inseam. this can be tricky, since most jeans have the inseam sewn flat with a single line of stitching. you can take out the outseam stitching, sew the inseam and then sew it down, and resew the outseam, and have the most professonal looking job. if the inseam is felled, this will not work.

It depends on the shape of the leg to start with. If they are baggy bootcuts, it is not going to look good, as in order for them to fit right, they would have to reset the seat, etc.

If they are slim jeans already, and you want to take a couple inches off of the leg opening, sure a tailor can do that. They will cut them up to the knee, and then restitch in a tapered fashion.

[rodhall05]

what do you mean by felled.

i wan to hem up 2 pairs of evisu, one washed, one raw, TR washed, and a pair of deisles,

all jeans are straight leg.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

make sure you tuck/tape your twig and berries

[rodhall05]

will it looks like my jeans have been alterted like fakes with bad homemade stitching or do they cover it up good?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

that would depend on who does the alteration; the results will vary widely

you are better off buying jeans that fit like you want them to off the rack

2 cents

that means you agree with me

[rodhall05]

ok so cheap monday vs apc is the price diffrence that big of quality diffrence.

i want just tight legs but where can i go to get cheap monday so i can try it on and make sure i get the right size

[denimdestroyedmylife]

you would have to go to your closest purveyor of cheap monday jeans

that would require knowing where you are

knowing where said purveyor is

traveling from where you are to the location of the purveyor of the jeans in question

you could help us help you by telling us where you are

[cheapmuthafukr]

go with the apc new cure. they are much nicer than the cheap mondays.

another fairly cheap option is ande whall rakers. at 160 they are not cheap, but they are as nice as a pair of 250$ jeans, and the cuts are amazing.

oh, and ande is the fucking man.

[rodhall05]

i am i n the CT Fairfleid County area of US

i am going into SOHO tommarow durring the day.

[englandmj7]

oh, and ande is the fucking man.

Agreed.

[rodhall05]

from seeing pics of some of the cheap monday i beleive there only 60 bucks

where in new york soho area can i try on dif fits of these jeans?

[cheapmuthafukr]

ive handled the Cm and apc... there is a reason CM is only 60$.

that said, if all you want is tight, they may be good for you.

[englandmj7]

If you are going to be in NYC, another affordable slim fit model is Zara 'Slim Fit.' These run about $70 a pair.

I have owned several pairs of them for over a year and they have held up perfectly to many washes and wear.

i wanted apc is the past, but as of now i just want tight. i have other selevedge that are tightish, but for now those Cm will do me for a month or two. in NYC do you know wher ei can get them. i wear like a 31 or 33 normally bu tthey never fit skin tight. so i think i would try like a 29 or 30.

[englandmj7]

Rod, don't be afraid to use the search function.

Search "Cheap Monday NYC"........surely, there has been mention of NYC stockists on several occasions.

i wear a 30 in everything, and 30 in cheapmondays were too tight in the waist.

[rodhall05]

well i dont know fim on the only one who has this problem but my search button doesnt work. il click search and it will just show me back to the search page. i can only use the google search which is sometimes a pain.

Cheap monday tight jeans run about an inch and a half smaller in the waist than tagged size. If you size down 2 on the apc new cure, they'll certainly be tight. April 77 has some really tight legging type jeans like the cheap monday tight if that's what you're looking for.

[corned beef]

one thing about April 77 if you go that route, I tried on a size 30 which is my natural waist size, the legs fit tight but perfectly according to the jeans, but the waist felt a bit slack, partly because theyre so low rise as well.
