He said his ones are size 48 (European) Dior is the exact same thing as size 32 pants Dior (just different tags). His jeans measure 17.5'' across (before washing) which means that they are 33''. Label size 32 pants usually are between 33.5-34.5 inches. However, Dior denim streches out fairly quickly and is labeled dry clean only. So the first time you wear the jeans they are going to feel too small, but after one or two wears they fit true to size.

The size actually depends on the leg from what I've been told. a 48 w/ 19cm leg opening fits true to 32, for example, while a 48 w/ 21cm leg fits more along the lines of a 34 in the waist.

If anyone's interested in getting Dior Homme, there's a Seller from Japan called Diabro Style in Ebay that sells their basic stuffs like jeans, shirts etc. Sells Dsquared, Dolce etc too just to name a few.

And no, I'm not affiliated whatsoever with Diabro Style.

I've seen his stuff. He gives about a 30% discount for stuff from last season and charges full retail price for stuff from the current season, which isn't really that great considering you can't try the stuff on.

Can we get some pics of people's actual orange overdye's? Preferably wearing em but if not, whatevs

From www.luisaviaroma.com

Orange Overdyed 21cm

I found it funny how the picture was taken against a different background and that they though it was better to curdely crop it out.

dont like them at all...

very done, and look at the honeycombs, they are like 2 inches too low and the groin is very manufactured looking.

I'm not so sure i would pay a premium for a designer jean, except heather locklear's CKs.

I hope indigo doesn't cause cancer...

... could you hand me the dental floss

[baizilla]

Is that the ones with 37 inseam?

[gunpwdr]

Not sure if it means anything, but my jeans were not marked "dry clean only" but rather "always wash separately". I'd imagine treated jeans, such as the waxed ones or other dyes, may be dry clean only.

At any rate, the raw ones are 100% cotton with no special treatment, so I washed them to get the sizing "settled in".

The actual pairs don't have the honeycombs on the back of the knee...that one was probably just made for the showroom. Actually the jeans look nothing like those pictures in person, not really close.

[triniboy27]

Could someone explain the concept of the 'orange overdyed'?

Doesn't seem (or look) as self explanatory as it sounds....

[giantreptile]

probably has to do with dipping in orange dye after being dyed with indigo. the whole orange+blue= brown thing probably creates a "dirty" or distressed effect.

yeah, this is pretty much it. I think the official DH website refers to it as the "dirty wash" jean. Although I've heard that it's not actually dyed, but rather just painted...referring it as dye just sounds cooler/more authentic i guess.

[darkanimal]

When I bought mine, they referred to it as dirty denim. Now that it's been termed orange overdye, I'm getting this image on my head of Dior employees spilling spaghetti sauce on my jeans. Just the way I like 'em
