had these altered and tapered to a perfect fit  but will these fade?

Yep. The only raw denim I've heard of that doesn't fade are the PBJ NCs.

I don't know if Khaki/Chinos are talked about in here but if you aren't vehemently opposed to shopping at Abercrombie they have some that are nicely tapered and fitted. H and M does as well. Just some alternatives to the Alphas that seem to be everyone's first choice

J crew 484 khakis are my go to but good looks

 

[Cars]

sneakaprince Those were my personal choice above the Alphas. I froze them once and they never felt the same.It was really odd

I like Rogue Territory khakis. Just need to get my right size.

Right now I have a pair of Tellason Ladbroke Canvas khakis and I don't care for them. They fade like raw denim on the whiskers and honeycombs :x

Other than that I've had Unbranded selvedge khakis and those were decent.

Any recommendations for a pair of light wash jeans?

Finally have to wash my Iron Hearts after 20 months..kinda bummed, was really happy with how they were looking, but I'm sure they'll be fine post wash.

Dude those are rad... I gotta start wearing my 301s more

Ask for black denim and then post pics of SL denim. If Ive ever seen flossing more flashy than this.

Only time I wish I was slim is to fit in SLP denim [emoji]128532[/emoji]...what good slim fit denim are my fellow 36-38 waist brethren wearing? Best I've found so far are the 3D Arc from G-Star.

I picked up a pair of Club Monaco denim last Thursday instore. $156 out the door. They fit perfect. Roomy in the thigh and a nice taper from the knee down. I suggest going in and trying them on. Also if you're a student bring in your college id!!!!! Orig price was $195 ill post some pics in the daytime

I have a 18" waist and own a pair of RRL Slim-Fit Rigid's, they're pretty comfy if you like your jeans low waisted.

Are they tapered at all? lil black jean jacket

I stopped my Nordstrom Rack while running errands. They had a 25% off all clearance items.

Found two jeans that I found interesting.
Naked and Famous Skinny Guy Lightweight Natural Indigo Selvedge - ~ $45 in a 34
Naked and Famous Skinny Guy Broken Twill - ~ $40 in a 33

Ended up getting the broken twill ones since they were closer to my size (32).

Two years? Why not just buy new denim.

Taper from the inseam. Not sure if Nordstrom will do that though

Isn't the point of buying that kind of denim to last over time?

I've had them 2 years but they probably look less then a year old. Because of work I don't get a chance to wear them as much as I want. Plus to me they are made to age not replace every year.

Thanks man. Anyone know if Nordstrom does that or am I better off finding a good tailor?

I don't have any experience with Nordstrom in-house tailoring but I've found that not all tailors will taper from the inseam. I would just ask Nordys first and if they don't do it just look up various tailors in your area and start from there.
