Recs for good slim *true* straight legs

Hi, this is kind of a carry over from the 'straight leg APC' thread

what are my option for a pair of (preferably selvege) slim straight legs. not like the APC's with a taper that keeps the straight leg look, or whatever they say.

I want narrow leg, with an leg opening that is the same as the knee (or pretty damn close). I've got a pair of Deth Killers Aces that fit great, but are dying. I didn't have too much luck with the search function. Cheers.

To add to the list: Kicking Mule 1980s, John Bull SewingChops SC007, Pure Blue Japan X005. The Kicking Mules and Sewing chops both measure out to 8' at the knee and hem, and the PBJs, slightly more, all on a size 30.

Eternal 811's are ostensibly a straightleg, but are in fact slightly tapered, as are the Diors (21 cm) and Skulls. Check the BiG website if you like.

I'm curious to this as well, but I'm looking for some that are VERY slim in the leg. Like the upper thigh measurements should be no larger than 11". I have really skinny chicken legs and even my New Standards are looking really baggy even when sitting on my waist. In fact, my mall-bought Levi's 511 Skinny are loose on me.

Would a Nudie Slim Jim do for this cut? I would love to try these out, but I would also prefer some dry selvege. STF if possible.

Thanks.

yeah, I thought about slim jim but i'm trying to make a move away from nudies, try somethign else

turns out that Imperials are an australian company and I found a shop here insydney that carries em, might go check them out today

I liked the Imperial Dukes over the Nudie SJ so much that I bought the Dukes on the spot when I went in to try them on. I went to 'Another' as well (well, that's the only place I know that sells them in Sydney).

Depends on the size, but the Pure Blue Japan 005 and the John Bull Sewing Chop SC007 are both slim at the hips and low rise (the SC007 is lower). Either pair is about 22" at the upper thigh. I actually have rather muscular thighs and quads for my size (21" thighs, 30" true waist) and the first week I worn the SC007s, they fit great at the waist, but you could see the outline of my hamstring and quads. Luckily, they stretched out.

It's not really big, but it's hardly skinny. I am 5'11". I supposed that 21" would be pretty skinny on a taller guy. I'd say that a guy my height with 23" thighs is pretty built in the legs.

In the summer, some stores will be getting specialized jeans by 5EP made for the Styleforum (it is not required that you post at SF to buy the jeans). They'll be a true, slim striaght leg, built with 5EPs exceptional quality, with some improvements to the cut (slightly lower rise, perhaps some back pocket changes, and a slimmer seat and thigh).
