Two part comment. 1. It’s so hard to judge jeans before breaking them in/watching them. The break is just wrong the first couple times. 2. You have such good casual and business casual style, experiment all you want, but trust your eye. The length of that second part is just infinitely better. I imagine the first pair would be great with a shorter inseam and wear.
Hi from North Carolina! Love your videos Teik! I am also just getting into selvedge denim and it’s been a pain finding a good fit. I’ve found straight fits are hard to cuff and feel confident. The cuffs need to be cuffed again and worn higher than feels initially comfortable or normal,so the cuff doesn’t rest on the boots. I think that creates the look we don’t like, making the pants look baggier. Definitely helps to find the right shirt length to match proportions and feel “balanced”. You always look great tho either way!
The key is that tape measure and get your proportions close to the measurements on the website of the company. What brands have you tried if you don't mind my asking?
I’m a fairly big guy, their straight fit jeans work well for me. The slim fit as a whole seem to suit your style and build. That said, the cuffed examples you showed, particularly the last example, they looked fine to my eye. I do cuff my ‘68s and for a moment or two, feel a bit self conscious, then I’ll forget about it. I’m in my early fifties and perhaps a bit old for that look, but it’s no something I’m wearing g every day and I try to keep it subtle.
I'd like to recommend what brands call "slim tapered." I think it would suit you well. Ironheart are my favorite, and you can find a decent list in their Outlet page that brings the price down so you can feel better about trying them out.
The first jeans def look really baggy/spacious as you’ve said. For a straight cut, if you’re going to roll them on a slimmer boot profile like RMW chelseas, try a pinroll type of cuff to taper in the hem/roll. But imo, straight jeans look good uncuffed and tailored imo. Cuff slim and tapered jeans (if you want, otherwise no cuff always looks good if tailored imo)
I prefer this fit jeans as well. I always have problems finding jeans that fit around my trunk area. I can fit 31 at the waist, but it doesn't work around my "butt", and upper leg area. 😅 I usually have to go up to 33" waist and 30" length. *I never bought into the whole slim fit jeans. The pain is worse than breaking in a new boot. 😂 To be honest cuffing the jeans show more of the boot off. I find thw cuff look is bigger in Japan.
I got it from my dad's side. Our nickname is "Cha Siu Bao". Chinese for BBQ Pork buns.😅 Not your usual Asian build. Thick trunk area, slimmer in the ankles. I also played Footy/Soccer for 12 years, my dad played Rugby.
The straight gustin is too baggy. I would consider those more loose fit vs a straight fit. That slim fit looked pretty good. I have adjusted straight:tapered fits. I wear traditional service boots, so that works fine for me. I have tried cuffing denim and I feel I personally look silly lol. It’s just not a look for me.
I have my first pair of Gustin’s coming and am just now getting into selvedge. I got straight cut concerned that slim would be like a skinny jean. Watching this has me wondering if I should have picked them up in slim. Thanks for putting this out.
For Cowboy boots you need wide leg never slim. You do not need to cuff jeans. The width is based on the job or look. The slim is definitely slim as they go by the leg opening and typically anything narrower than16" for leg opening on the average waist size is slim which Gustin Jeans slim are that. Definitely a denim brand for beginners! I love the first denim paired with the natural looking boots that have the kiltie attached.
Jeans don't look right until broken in and worn for a couple weeks. i'm sure any fit can work on you, wjat you are seeing is just new jean drape. For what it's worth I think the straight leg looks good on you.
The straight jeans look great! They definitely need to be trimmed a few more inches. If you cuff them and they are still laying on your shoes, they are too long.
A good measure is a small or short cuff should bring the pants to about, or just above, your ankle height when standing. With the pants hanging relatively straight and not bunching up. And then without the cuff they should break once right at the top of your instep. I also agree that it's best not to cuff jeans with cowboy boots, ideally you hem a pair so they don't break and rest at the ankle, or you leave them a little longer with a quarter or half break. You can kind of do what you want with chelsea boots but generally I think they follow the same cues as cowboy boots.
I feel the revirse denum cuffs look too light and, therefore, overpower the look of your boots. One idea is to have your cuffs tailored so that they match the colour of the outer denum. I feel more fitting jeans would suit you better. : -)
I very much prefer the wider fit, but I also have pretty large thighs to that kind of gives it away. I'd suggest trimming down the inseam of your wider jeans even more, maybe just an inch or half and inch.
I don't understand what all the fuss is about selvedge denim. All those jeans you had on at the beginning did not fit you , and were too baggy with lots of folds from your knees down. Not your style ! The ones at the end of the video were much better. I also have thin legs , and find I look best with a cut that does not look baggy, and with no extra material on the lower legs. A straight lower leg looks fine with all my boots, so I don't think the shape of the boot makes much, if any , difference. I agree that the cuff look is not for me either.
Sorry to say, but the straight cut jeans just don't fit great 😕 Maybe after a couple of washes they will mould to your body a bit nicer. I'm not sure of your measurements, but you look a similar build to me and anything straight cut looks awful. Those Okayama Gustins are much more suited to your style and build. I'd stick to any fit that is a relax tapered fit. They are a beautiful piece of denim. Welcome to the world of selvedge denim! We'll have you wearing 25oz Iron Heart denim in no time 😉
The first pair? No reason why they can't suit Bootlosophy. I suspect they just needs to figure out how to style them to suit their personal style and comfort level. Maybe hem (once washed/rinsed several times) to little or no break?

@@Mr_Ja3 I have the opposite problem with a small butt where the waist fit is good but with a small butt and thinner thighs they look too wide

I do have skinny legs though.
Another good video. Thank you.
This chisos look great with the 1968 jeans. The heel on the ringers ropers are a bit low to pull it off in my opinion
I found Gustin jeans quite roomy and have finally opted to try their skinny fit. Have you thought about the skinny fit?
@@adamburges4807 now I know, I will go skinny next

Tec the slim fit is your better choice in the girth and length.

I enjoyed this video. To each their own, but I think stick with the slim jeans 😁
@@harunjudin my conclusion too!
I like what they’re doing with materials but the rise is too short for me unless they’ve changed that recently with a new model.
Second pair much better
Seems like the skinny version of Gustin equates to slim version in real world. Thanks Teik!
I think the jeans look good teik 💯

@@SanFranFan30 yeah I think that’s what I’ll do
the straight fit does look too loose/baggy. the slim fit looks much better and fitted in my option.
@@Jason_US I have skinny legs though. And fit is very personal to your physique isn’t it?
I think all the pants looked good on you. Let’s see how they fade.
The first pair was too long and to large. Second pair looks sharp and good. Would style well with a pair of red wing moc toes.
They'll tighten up on yhe legs after a good soak or wash

Not a fan of those jeans. Don’t suit you.

@
Because he said himself that he didn’t like them. 🤷♂️
@ i think he just meant that he doesn't know what to think of them yet. Anyway, hope he doesn't give up on them!
