Well, I think I want to venture outside of bootcut and flare jeans...

I tried searching for info on Farco and Yarik, but couldnt' find any comparison info. What is the difference b/t these two cuts?

I'm looking for a low-rise and straight leg... Are there any other cuts I should look into?

Thanks guys

I was thinking the exact same thing as you about 3 weeks ago.... and I got some Yarik 708s. I really like them. The bottoms are going to be quite a bit more narrow than what you're used to. Compared to Farco, there's a little more room in the thigh, and also the back pockets are wider as opposed to being long and narrow like on the Farco.

Thanks imhotep!

Are the Yarik a low rise, comarable to Zathan?

I'm looking for a leg opening w/ no real taper to it. I know farco has a slight taper...

I'd say the rise is a either the same as a Zathan or a tad lower. They both are definitely straight leg, I know a lot of people call Farco's tapered, but they aren't. Neither are the Yarik. From the knee on down is all one width. For some reason, I think you will like Yarik's better, but that's just a hunch.

You might also look into the Zavor, although I've never tried them.

You should venture onto dry denim first!

No, Farco doesn't have a slight taper.

Yarik has what is called a narrowed hem, the hem is brought in about a quater inch but it isn't tapered because the inside and outside seams stay parrallel to the hem.

And yarik fits lower than zathan in the front.

I've read a lot of people say that Zavor fits very similar to Farco and in some washes may run a slight bit slimmer if that is even possible.

Also look into Levan.

ahh crap...i just dropped my yariks off to get hemmed today. shoulda got a regular hem to get rid of that, instead of a eurohem.

Haha, i'm too impatient! I'll go for a raw wash, although

I think I want to try some Farcos. Did you guys generally stick to your Zathan sizing?

So, the rise of the farco is comparable to zathan and higher than the yarik's?

Thanks for the info all.

BTW, what do you guys think about the Levan cut?

deegulls, vince

What's with the hate on Levans?
Levans are a damn nice cut, I have a 85e and they are really awesome.

I think their fit depends on the material of the denim, cause I tried the 84j wash and the fit become pretty lackluster, but on the thicker denim of the 85e they are very nice.
The main reason is because under the knees the levan is cut more relaxed, so when applied to the wrong denim the results can be pretty bad. But yes at least for the 85e, I LOVE the Levan cut.(If you guys want I can post pics of me wearing them for reference)

And yes vincevtec I would recommend farco's as well, nothing beats farco's in the straight leg department. Bear in mind they fit tighter than Zathans though.

Ah, thanks for the input lazyhead. Pics would be great! and maybe some farco comparison pics? If thats not asking too much? haha

Would you recommend sticking to Zathan sizes for farco?

Ok its pretty late, but yea took some pics

Sorry for the glare, and the mirror is very dirty.
Ok first 2 pics are of farco's




Then 2 pics of levan



As you can see the levans are a bit more relaxed down the knees, but are definitely not baggy. All in all levans are a nice straight slim cut.

But yes the farco's are definitely better if your really into a super slim cut.
Still Levans will always hold a place in my Diesel collection

BTW: the levan pics don't do the 85e wash justice, just gotta love those back pockets.

Hope that helps you out on your straight cut quest Vince.

And to answer your zathan and farco sizing question, I think it is safe to just stick with your zathan size. Since the farco's seem to fit a bit tighter in the thighs and below.

A "narrowing" in anything is called a "taper" regardless of whether the inseam is parrallel to the hem or not. There are no rules for something to be tapered, only that it narrows to a specific point. Taper = narrowing

Thanks for the pics lazyhead!

Both cuts actually look kinda similar... Everyone says you can't go wrong w/ Farcos, so Hmm...

so what did you decide on? farcos or yariks?
i had the same question like 4 threads down, but no one replied

your question was more specific, thats why it didnt get many responses.

Since we are obviously having a geometry lesson, the hem is perpendicular to both the inseam and outseam.

Taper refers to a consistent decrease in any axis over a proportionate length. Anything that narrows abruptly is not tapered.

Onijo and Ziprio are two other cuts really similar to Farco.

I've decided on a pair of Farco 85W!

Should I stick to a 29w if I wear 29w in Zathan for this particular wash?

Sooo....

I just purchased the last pair of Farco 85W in 29x30 in US Diesel stores...

Zathan sizing should be fine, correct?

Forreal this time, NO MORE JEANS FOR AWHILE!
