Jeans, day to day wear, who, what, where, etc….

Hi Lee, I’m a 34 regular. Could be interested.

I have a pair of brand spanking new Nudie raw selvedge somewhere that I’ll never wear. I think they are a 32 or a 33 regular in a straight cut if anyone is interested.

Anybody who pays £250.00+ for a pair of jeans is an idiot.

There are people I work with who think that anyone who spends more than £500 on a bike is an idiot!!! These are the same people who spend what I consider to be a ridiculous amount of money on a bottle of wine. We like what we like!

Carhartt Texas, best jeans I’ve ever owned. Usually a bargain at £75, just ordered a pair on their website for £30. Go down an inch on the waist.

I’ve also got a number of their duck carpenter’s jeans, durable and fit well but I’ve only ever seen them in the US. In Europe it’s all WIP.

Nice one Bill, ordered some of them and a pair of the Skill pants as well for £26.

Just looking at that there Carhartt site – anyone any experience with the Buccaneer pants for sizing? Looking at the size guide they’re a regular tapered fit but the measurements look like i’d need to size down a size or two – waist on the 32″ is showing measured as 18″ across which would be 36″ in real money – the rigid ones would shrink a bit, but how much?

Cheers!

I haven’t had any shrinkage from rigid ones: hand washed and then drip dry

Their Texas jeans have a faux selvedge so if you order 2 inches longer you get a nice hipster-cool turnup.

One size fits all.  Sash, cummerbund or belt and buckle essential. If gong the buckle route, then I recommend Swash.

sorry, but that was a clear invocation, hence:

not got the bucaneer specifically but i can tell you i am a 33w /34l in caharrtt – noramlly i wear a 34/34 in other manufacturers because thats usually all inferior manufacturers make and i have to put a belt on.

So id say they are pretty true to size unless anyone thats met me wants to pipe in that im a bloater and my waist is actually a 36″+

Cheers all – have ordered a couple of sizes just to be sure, meant I got free shipping & there’s free returns too so hopefully there’ll be something that fits & the rest can go back.

Short-arse syndrome means pretty much all my jeans have turn-ups of some description – amazing what you can find in there after a night out 🙂

Someone should superimpose the Dior logo onto that piratey chap up there, bet it would start a fashion revolution
