I am looking for a new pair of lighter stained jeans. Right now I have two pairs I love black(express) dark blue(guess).

My express jeans fit perfect but they don't have my size in the color I want. Online ordering is out of the question, as I want to try them on.

Suggestions?

I used to wear Levi 511's but recently switched to 513's because they fit snugger and more comfortable/fashionable.

Just my personal preference.

Just tried some on. The 513s are too small, my big body doesn't fit. 514s are good tho

Guess jeans look good and are really comfortable. Try on a pair.

Anything Levi makes is pretty great as long as you get the sizing right. Experiment one up and one down in sizing. If you really want to get a nice jean look, get a size that fits you or is a little loose in a raw. Wear them everyday for like six months and then wash em. They should come out great after that.

I too enjoy a good pair of raw denim jeans. I've recommended it before, I'll recommend it again: Gustin jeans.

The shame is that they only sell online. They have plenty of guides for determining your fit, and I followed those completely and got mine to fit perfectly the first time I bought from them (have since done so a couple more times).

I mainly use them because I like looking different, but I've always been a fan of looking different through textures, rather than designs or styles. They release loads of different fabrics, so it's like heaven for me. Cheaper, more normal fabrics run for $74.

If you don't want to go that route, I suggest just going to the nearest mall you can go to and go in every store and try on tons of pairs of jeans, then buy your favorites. I'm not a fan of doing that, mainly because it takes a lot of time to get that done, but if you want it done right that's the way.

I think the direction I am going is the Levi 514s. Tried on some of the skinny/slim fit ones, and fuck my body just doesn't fit in those bad boys.

Also, tried on another pair of express jeans in my size but they had a whole bunch of lame buttons I didn't want to pay an extra 60 dollars for.

Guess- there isn't a easily accessible store near me right now.

Ross,

Yea, I bet the sizing guides do help, but I have so much trouble finding pants that fit I refuse to buy online.
