my thoughts on the JR hobokens

[saepnirg]

well just got my nikki sixx's in the mail and wanted to share my 0.02 on them seeing alot of pple are deliberating on whether to get a pair of JRs. first off the denim quality is right up there. i've had a pair of apc tights and this blows it right outta the water imo. the wash is actually pretty damn diff from what is shown on fos5. not nearly as distressed. some wrinkles at the thighs and the ankles. v v nice and subtle reddish tint to the jeans from the pink weft. the fit for me is jus right. way better than the apc's which arent all that tight to be honest. fit is alot like the cheap monday tights and my pair look almost identical to the pair of cm's posted by mr.p in the what did you wear thread. could hav sized down 1 tho but i rather it not be nut hugging tight.

If you don't mind could you share the waist (tag size and actual), thigh (at crotch), and opening measurments?

[saepnirg]

hey well the tag size is pretty much true i bought a 32 and its 32". leg opening is 13". here's a pic of me wearin em and i tink its pretty much a good fit for me except for a slightly baggy thigh. keep in mind that i sized up one tho but now i'm thinking of gettin a true 31 cos im worried abt stretch. any opinions?

my Hoboken Red Dragons

[colin]

those are awesome, where'd you get them?

[disgraced_peer]

directly from JRJ

The company is very small .... run by only a couple of guys but they were very helpful and efficient.

[colin]

they are great... how do they fit/run?

[disgraced_peer]

The HRD are very slim. I usually wear W30-W31 in other jeans like Levis/Helmut Lang/Dior Homme/Acne and in HRD I wear W31. They have a straight hip and a long inseam (34+).

[darkanimal]

I'm lost for words. Love it! I've been thinking about rocking red jeans. I was not ready for it last spring. But I guess now's the time!

[tangerine]

saepnirg, they look good but if you feel like you could go with the 31s, do it.

disgraced_peer, those HRDs are great!

ask a cassowary

[heartsandcrafts]

spearing: those look great, i think the size they are now is good because they are tight and scrunched at you ankle, but not so tight on you hips to make it look you have a curvy figure. that sentence was kind of awkward but you know what i mean....

[heartsandcrafts]

other than size 32, what your height and weight

[saepnirg]

heartsandcrafts- eh im 6'1 and 150. ya its a good fit now cos i sized one up. dun realli fancy the entire body hugging look. but now im worried abt stretch? after i put some time in w the jeans the thighs and calves are bound to stretch and im worried abt the fit then.
