need some help finding some denim that fits. I'm 28x30/31 in most/some jeans. The levi's skinners fit me great @ 28x30. waist is perfect. Love the low rise. I live in WI so getting a smaller pair of diesel's is impossible. I ordered a pair of 27" zathans from a store in ny and they were too big. They were so big in the waist I was afraid the 26" would be just as bad. Not only that, the rise wasn't as low as I would like. The crotch hangs down and makes my already short lets look even shorter.So I'm stuck. I usually end up resorting to women's where 25-26" jeans do the trick. I own a couple pair of women's sevens.

What can I buy? I like a low low rise, as I mentioned my legs are short and any thing that isn't pulled up as high as it goes will show my legs as looking shorter. Think a 26" in diesel, with some heavy drying would do it? I like a bootcut, like the skinner. I have a pair of true religion joey's where the 28 actually fits my waste, I had to get them hemmed though. What attracts me to diesel is the fact I can get a shorter length. I'm not a fan of altering short because even though they will fit in the length, the jeans still don't fit the best because the knee doesnt match up and it can look awkward. Any help?

hey man, i know the feeling, im 5'8 120 lbs, and i wear a 28 and sometimes that is even too big for me,

28/30 skinners fit perfect but they arent the best jeans out there allow me to explain

selvage is a type of denim that is for the most part very high quality and made on narrow shuttle looms or somethign like that. It is usually noticable by a specific looking seam on the outer sides of the jean.

i tried womans pants for a bit, they fit fine, but then the whole emo thing started and rather than be bunched up with all of them, i dropped the womens pants and just stuck it out with looser jeans.

a nice "selvage" jean for us small people is APC, they make dry denim only, but they make it in sizes ranging from 25-35+, one of their smaller jeans is the new standard or as it is now called the standard which is a straight leg very tight fit but not woman pants tight. i am currently wearing a pair of size 27 that fit me great.

Just some basic Rules

theres nothign wrong with striaght leg jeans

there is somethign wrong with true religion, worst jeans ever made, bad designs, over priced, voer played and did i mention over priced

a pair of nice quality selvage apc costs from 120-145, a low quality pair of true religins costs anywhere from 175-275

do the math

and dont do true religion

chwa?
