Skinner Rigid vs Flare Glenn Dry?


houston

Recommended Posts

I own some Rigid Skinners that I have been wearing for about a month... but my interest has peaked in some Nudie's. I want to know what all the hype is about. So can someone compare the Flare Glenn to the Skinners? Cut wise, are they similar? I am looking for a tad bit more rise than the skinners. Also, would the Bootcut Ola be a more similar fit?

thanks in advance...

I am wondering if I need to keep searching for a pair (very difficult) or just live with the jeans I got.

I beginning to question your commitment to Sparkle Motion

I own two pairs of the Flare Glenns but no Olas, I'm guessing the Ola will be lower and tighter due to it being a womens fit. The Glenns I own aren't dry ones but they fit nicely and I wore them happily a lot untill the brand really hyped mainstream over here, I'm not too fond of the fabric quality but again I don't own any of the good dry ones...

I don't know the Rigid Skinners but I think the Glenns have a higher rise, good luck anyway!

Here in The Netherlands the Ola and the Slim Kim are often (actually almost only) sold as womens fits, tough you are absolutely right and the nudie site does not make a real statement about their jeans being guys only (though only guys are depicted on the site) and the only thing I could find on the site was:

Quote: unisex fits

Q: I wonder if the different models fit both men and women? For example flare Glenn?

A: in general nudie fits best on men, but as females often buy unisex they fit as well, if you are used to special femal fits in stretch they might not...you should try if you like them..or not

At my school and out in the streets here loads of girls are waring the 'girlish' fits from nudie which I thought were simply womens fits, so this is cool info for me... thanks!

You're right, after some research on the nudie site I found that you are absolutely right (naturally denim birds is their womens brand). I was just put of by the loads of girls out here in the streets in The Netherlands and at my school who are wearing the 'girlish' nudie fits: the Ola and the Kim, which are often (well mainly, almost only) sold as womens fits over here.

On the site the only thing I could find, appart from no women depicted in their jeans, was this:

So this is new info for me, thanks!

I have dry skinners and dry FGs. The dry FGs are infinately superior. Construction, denim, fit... everything. The FGs are perfect in my opinion. I beat the living snot out of mine and they're still going strong. The only problem is that you're gonna have a bit of a time trying to find dry FGs as they've been discontinued for a season now.

In case you're wondering what dry FGs look like here's a pic of mine caked in mud:
