Might as well save that money and buy the jeans a few years later? Once you buy more jeans, that's dead weight..

I am in Bali right now! Yesterday I was swimming in the sea with my jeans on! Now I'm waiting for it to dry.. Then I'll be able to rock em once again! Swim for about 15 minutes, rub against the fine sands at Nusa dua beach rub rub again then did a few squads and ran around hahah my gf thought I was mad.. Went back to the sea to wash off excessive sands on the jeans, went back to hotel did a hot soak at the bth tub and went swimming by the poo later on...l came back and hang it up to dry.. Next year I'll try another sea wash with my evisus after I finish rocking the Diors.. It's alot of work to do compared to Machine wash lol!

I own a pair of Naked & Famous grey selvedge, which is made in Canada using imported raw Japanese denim. I won't say I love it as much as I used to, because I lost some weight and so the size is off now. I still wear it though, but it doesn't fit the way I would prefer. Mine is in the WeirdGuy style too, which is their loosest fit.

i think u got it wrong...weird guy is not the loosest fit for naked and famous...the slim guy is...and i dont think its coz u lose weight but the fact that your jeans has stretched out so much....thats why always size down 1 or 2 or best still 3 size down....naked and famous has a bigger actual size as compared to the tag size...a size 29 would measure around 30.5 like that...bought a few naked and famous and they are like that...so what u've experienced is the denim being stretched out already...may be u didnt size down enough or u didnt size down at all...raw denim will stretch out with wear...so that is wht the denim company will ask u to size down unless if it is a pair of unsanforized ones...which will shrink about 10% of the size...

Is isn't the loosest fit? I know WeirdGuy tapers at the leg (and regular fit around the waist/hips?), and I figured SlimGuy is straight but slim fit throughout. Yup, you're right. Mine definitely did stretch out. I don't remember, but I think. like I did size down, but not by much. How do people fit into a pair 3 sizes down though? Yikes! However, there was a period when I couldn't fit into the pair of jeans because I found it too tight, and I forgot about it until recently, and now I feel it's a little too loose. *shrugs*

what is your actual waist size ? my actual waist size is about 32" . On my SG, i sized down 1 which is tag 31. When i measured it using my measurement tape ( important tool to bring when trying out jeans smile.gif ) , it is actually 16 inches across which is about 32". But, i did a pre-soak before wearing them , they actually shrink like 0.5 inch. Now, i am wearing them with a belt so that they wont stretch out that much, but the hip is still tight.
On the other hand, i have a Gap skinny too .. this one i size down 3 to a Tag 29 cos when i measured them, they are 16" across and they don't stretch out at all at the waist
