Thanks.

I think the Nudie Slim Jim and APC Petite Standards fit similar to 511's, although they get a bit complicated because you have to consider the fact that it stretches a lot so you have to size down and suffer your balls being crushed for the first few wears to get it to where it the fit would be to your liking.

Agreed with the Slim Jims but Petite Standards are more like 510s than 511s.
Try New Cures

You're not supposed to weigh 200 pounds.

Actually, not true at all.  I am 6'3, 242 pound, and I have all kind of "Expensive" Denim - and they fit normal on me.   It's all about how you are built, and hitting the weights and doing your cardio on a regular basis.   

I would say try the following: APC Rescues, Nudies Average Joes or Big Bengt, AG, a couple of Japanese denims brand are good to go as well.  You just need to know what you are buy.

Nudie Slim Jim were good for a while until the crotch blew out. The jeans were SLIGHTLY too thin for me, and nudie quality is sub par.. also not selvedge.

So, close to slim jim, but a tiny tiny bit wider in the leg?? any ideas? ~$200

APC new standard, on the low end price, flat head f380 on the upper end of what you are looking to spend...
also, i know you arent big on nudie, but they put out a cut "easy emil" that has a very slightly larger leg opening than the slim jim.  I thought they were gonna be huge, but after a customer tried a pair on, they worked pretty well with boots. I got a photo from selfedge website...

I'm still looking forward to seeing what they come up with though, it is one of my favorite brands. I'd probably pick a few stuff, it would probably depend on what is left in the store by the time i get there though.

oh the lanvin crowd will loathe this release for the most part.

for me, that stuff is out of my league, so it'll be great to own a piece that was at least inspried and labeled from one of my favorite fashion houses.  It's also at least going to give a lot of the kids that shop at h&m a reason to step their game up, with the learning of that tier of fashion.

I do agree, im not going to be lining up for this, but i'd love to get a few things too!
