      I have a lot of ass/thigh muscle, its risky business to buy online and hope they fit, I thought NF and APC would fit well, but when I tried them on in person my thighs and ass nearly ripped the jeans.
      My slim fit Gustin has a lot more room up top compared to most of the other brands, which N&F did you try? The weird guy fit is supposed to be bigger up top and then taper down past the knees.

      I don't think you might need to go up that much in size but I for me 2 sizes up from the usual vanity sizing will be perfect after they get broken in.

          It was the weird guy fit I tried on.

          Even if their sizing chart was right at 37, then the other measurements would be out of wack.

            Anyone else never wear jeans? The pockets are those annoying ones that start on the front of the pants, and they are stiff.

              Few of my favorites:

              Shop handmade men’s and women’s raw denim and selvedge denim jeans, denim jackets, canvas pants, and canvas jackets. Railcar offers handcrafted workwear, modern fits. Durable, stylish, and built to last in the USA. Also offering, expert denim alterations and repairs service on all brands.




              Our chino, in a rugged, all-American, heavy canvas. It's just the right balance of toughness and refinement and the medium caramel brown shade is spot on.

                +1 to railcar. I've had a pair of their spikes in brown for a few years and they are the shit. Just need to get them taken in and finally hem them. Awesome pair of jeans.

                  Well I saw this thread a few days ago and its been on my mind ever since. Bit the bullet and ordered a pair of the gustin's. Only downside is A. not trying anything on prior to purchase and B. waiting 2 months for my order. But I get it and it'll be a nice surprise in April when my pants that I forgot I ordered show up!
