some quick questions about nudie?

minya · September 7, 2005

You can buy them online from www.fos5.com but they have limited sizes. You can also try Barneys or Famous Friends in NYC.

They are not tapered at all, so the leg opening is a lot wider than NS's. They are bootcut, but it is subtle; I wouldn't call them "flared" at all.

I recommend buying true-to-size. I actually bought one size up and they are very baggy but I love the way it looks/fits.

you can buy from http://www.volls.de or from that other store that is selling them for $265 now, I don't recall the URL but you can check the complete list of stores in mynudies.com

comparing to APC standerds, they fit a bit looser, the knees are a bit narrow and the rest is wider, as a bootleg. That said, it is basically a straight cut, that's barely any bootcut, so the "bootleg" definition comes, it means the outseam is straight and the inseam makes a bootleg.

from what I gathered here the general consensus seems to be that you should get 1 size down, because they stretch. Since they can be worn loose or tight, that's up to your personal taste.

This is true (they do stretch quite a bit) but from what I understand, kixslf, you and I have pretty similar body types and so I wouldn't recommend buying 1 size down. I would only recommend going 1 size down if you have very slim legs.

RR Dry Selvage:

The greycast is not selvage, has a really nice color but a weaker, lighter denim.

PG2G · September 7, 2005

My RRDS are a size 34 and I'd definitely say they are a size or so too large. I've been wearing them two months though, so they've probably streteched a bit.

Here is a comparison of my 34 nudies and 34 sevens. I tried to line them up on the top and on the left side.

Yeah, I want a pair as well. If, I want to rock them semi-loose, should I go a size up? Im a true 34.

Also, does anyone know how much bigger are the Baggy Bjorns compared to the RRs? I might just buy those, if they dont restock. thanks.

minya · September 7, 2005

Semi-loose, I say stick with your size 34.

However, if you go to www.nudiejeans.com and look at the Fit Guide, the model wearing Regular Ralf there is, very likely, wearing one size too big, kind of like how I wear them. Go check it out and see what you think.

The Baggy Bjorns are a LOT baggier than the RR, and if you want them to fit less baggier, you should go 2 sizes down (i.e. 32 for a 34, kind of like APC English).

john11f · September 7, 2005

I say go 1 size down. I'm a true 34. My RRs are 34 and I can't wear them without a belt. But it still has a nice fit and I have no regrets. It's becoming really really comfortable as I wear them (which is as frequent as I possibly can). I guess bottomline is it depends on how loose or tight you want to wear them.

YoungPunch · September 7, 2005

Call Famous Friends, or email them, they do take phone orders. 212.460.9094

Or order online from volls. They are a german online store and sell their nudies for a good price, you will be paying a bit of cash for the international shipping however. They got the regular ralph dry selvage and the veggie indigo ralphs too. I have ordered from them before, I ordered the nudie dry connie jacket, and I had no problems!

1. fos5.com although they quickly ran out of stock

2. fit is looser vs the standards but they are more straight than bootcut

3. purchase them one size down but if you want a more relax fit, true to size won't be as bad

hmmmm, time to call up famous friends
