What waist size BO should I order?

[coler6]

Depending on the cut of the jean, I'm usually a 30 or 32. I've been losing a bit of weight lately so my 32s are getting a bit big.

The only jean I own that compares to the bootcut ola is the Levi 514. They are advertised low, slim and straight. I wear a 30 / 30 of that Levi jean.

Any suggestions?

They stretch pretty much. I bought a W31 but later on I realized I should have gone with atleast 30 or maybe even W29. I'm talking dry, unwashed, now.

with all these sizing threads on a forum with the most knowledgeable Nudie wearers in the world, it's a wonder there isn't a consumate sticky thread.

you'd think that Nudie themselves could put something together on their website too. They're selling $300 jeans that shrink and stretch like hell. Come on. The fit guide they do have is utterly useless.

anyway, don't want to hijack your thread, but don't want to start a new one either. I tried on the repaired Ola's in 32. The waist felt great. there was a little bit of room for me. I wasn't in love with the thigh fit because there were quite tight, (no blood circulation issues though), but the girl told me they would stretch. Overall, I thought the 32 was a perfect size for me.

I like snug fitting jeans, but not skin tight. I think the thigh is going to stretch to a point that I really really like. However, will they become too loose around the waist, and is it possible that the thigh will overstretch and become a bit biggy as well?

Don't really buy into the "shrink back after you wash them" line of thinking because once you put em on, they'll stretch right back anyway.

coler6, are you considering the dry ones or one of the washes? let the guys on here know because I've read that they fit and stretch differently.
