Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[1stwitit]

Thanks fellas! Will post picks as I get them. I got super sick about two hours or so before the ceremony and was stretched out for a good portion of the reception, being tended to by one the doctors that was invited. He said vertigo, stress, fatigue, dehydration, the heat and lack of sleep all combined to put me down. It was terrible, but my wife took it so gracefully.

Also, congrats Sasha

Got a 30% off code for gilt. Anyone have experience with n&f or this cut specifically? Good buy?

The Skinny Guy fit would be a better fit for you. The fit is more in line with Levis 511 or J. Crew 484. I wear a size 32 in those and leg opening is 7". The downfall is that it's a low rise so I only wear them with t shirts and casual shirts.

I have a couple pairs of n&f. Slim guy is on the more relaxed side. You won't like it. Weird guy is a slim taper as well as skinny guy. The only issued I have with n&f on gilt is that they don't describe the denim well. N&f offers lots of different weights and wefts and adds other little tidbits to their jeans. Gilt does a poor job of letting you know specifically what you are getting. Size down 1-2 if you do end up getting a pair

Of those choices captoes. If its really that formal though I would go with a darker suit

 

[pinoy732]

At least from the description it looks like the weird guys have a larger opening http://m.gilt.com/mobile/sale/men/denim-3950/product/1009972292

Sorry for the spam but honestly, who can help a brotha out?

I'm basically looking to replace my trusty gap selvedge denim (still gonna repair though) with a nicer brand. I'm looking at the levels of APC, nudie, n&f , etc. What would y'all recommend for a $80-125 range. Really never spent more than $40 on denim before so please if you can find me the deals lol

How do alpha khakis fit compared to 511s?

 

[thetim11]

A,

Karmaloop actually carries N&F....go find some codes and see how much you can drop the price.

I copped mine at Barneys before discovering KL has them (moreso because i havent been on KL since the LRG days)

All my weird guys have 7.5 in opening. Slim guys are straight leg. They won't fit you in the thighs or calves well at all.

 

[pinoy732]

Found these. Thoughts?

I think I get 30% off with getfresh30 and then possibly a rep code stack. Too much of a hassle to run on mobile.

Rob, you said sz down? I'm a 30 in everything.

I have alphas and had 511s a few years back. I don't remember exactly so correct me if I'm wrong guys but I think alphas are just a tad looser in the calf. But they are perfect IMO! I buy a 30x30 at 5'10", 165lbs and I'm set!

 

[klasssickfresh 87]

Thanks

I think 511s fit tighter than Alphas

iirc i'm a 34x30 in 511s and 33x30 in alphas

511's are definitely tighter.

511 Leg openings are narrower than the Alpha Khaki as well...

Sidenote: Anyone notice that LEVIS (webshop) has ceased calling 511's "skinny" and 510's "super skinny"? 511's are now called "slim" and 510's "skinny", which IMO more accurately reflects the fits... I've worn 511's for 4-5 years now and never felt they were "skinny's" in the painted-on sense (as many people mistakenly seem to think, and could be due in large part to this self-imposed "skinny" designation). I know many of my friends that refused to buy them BECAUSE they were labeled as "skinny's" ( My boys would be like, "I aint wearing skinny jeans, those are for chicks..." and so on...)
