I have gone true to size on all of my SLPs (they all fit similar in the waist, rest varies with seasons). My je graphite are a size 29. I actually had to get them a bit tapered but i liked the waist of 29 better than the 28. Keep in mind the SLP have stretch and the JE dont. It will depend on whats comfortable for you. I personally cant stand tight raw jeans with no stretch in them.
the stretch makes it possible for them to be tight, look good and feel good. JE is actually moving in that direction too. Its much for comfortable and looks nicer too. I saw start with true to size and go from there. Check out Mr.Porter and ssense for measurements too. That helps as well. You can compare what they have listed with your JE pair and you can see what the difference will be. I personally like my slp pairs more simply based on comfort.
They do appear slightly 'dirty' in person. Fit was on point. Very skinny. Tried on size I usually wear in jeans. If I had $790 I would've copped

if you are looking for a light wash, may I make a suggestion, I tried these on in store the other day, now I'm not really into light blue jeans, or knee blow outs, not at all in fact, but they looked really nice on in person and were extremely comfortable, that being said I decided to wait and have a think on it, I gave them back to the sales assistant and said I would think a little and return, I came back the following day to purchase but unfortunately someone else hadnt hesitated and had already bought the last available pair in my size, please bear in mind that the stock photo does the jeans no justice at all. here it is anyway to visualise, I think I will buy a pair online and upload a picture when they come in, so you can see a truer fit.
