Hey there guys. I know we have a perfectly good Nudies thread at the moment, but I felt the need to give these new olas a quick and personal introduction. Largely because I had been waiting so damn long to get a pair. 30x34, thought that was a pretty common-place size (casts a contempuous glare in the general direction of Barney's Co-op, Atrium off Broadway, you know who you are...).

They came in today, time documented: 10:57. I practically pounced on the USPS guy as he came in the door.

Bootcut olas. Wearing for.... 31 minutes. They are tighter than I imagined and I did not size down. I understand the concern in regards to stretching and whatnot, but seriously, in my actual size, my thighs barely fit through. And I am not, as these pictures so painfully depict, a very large guy. People on the mynudies forums, weighing 190 and slipping into Slim jims size 28 (27?! ) kudos to you, for you redefine the meaning of twig.



They fit tighter than any jeans I have ever owned, and are a bit uncomfortable at the moment. I look forward to them bagging up in the future (part of the reason I like TR's, you can wear them looser, but well fitted). But overall, I am loving them. When they grow up a bit, I'll join the other ranks in the nudie evolution forum. Until then, we'll work with what we have in front of us.

And sorry for the fugly feet. I forgot to shod them before taking pictures, so just keep locked on the upper 75% of the picture to avoid unnessesary damage to your eyes.

I wish I would have gotten Ola's... I float in my Reg Ralf's thighs

I was a bit surprised however. The bootcut ola's denim feels alot thinner/lighter and less stiff than the RRDS that I tried on at Atrium. I wonder if that will affect the fade at all?

*Shrug* eh, not really a problem.

Congrats! Be really patient with these since they're really hard to break in and it takes a loong time.

I have a size 30 in these as well and I sized down 2! hahaha so they fit like skinnies on me right now.

Where did you buy it? Denimbar is having a sale on alot of stuff and Olas are $114 + shipping.

Hey advan, I got these from revolveclothing.com, I used my first time buyer coupon. People usually rule against using it for single items, but I have no intention of wearing, much less buying any new jeans now that I finally got the Nudies I have been hunting for. These will probably be the only ones I use for a long while.

I made this shot especially for my mynudies.com intro thread and gallery, but I figured I would throw it in here anyway. Me, in the nudie.



thanks for the comments guys!

sweet pic! and yes, I think the denim weights may be slightly different, check the mynudies forum to be sure, they are nudie gods over there... but you'll still get great wear from those!

im planning to buy some nudies round sept or august...but now that i heard about the special at denimbar i might order some tonight...questions though

right now i have some RRDS ive been wearing since march, and i sized down 1, at first they were tight and a bit uncomfortable, now theyre perfect

should i size down in BO? Note i like a slim fit, but not tight.
Is the leg opening smaller on BO's than on RR's?
I usually wear 32 in length, will 32's in BO's be too short since they are slimmer?

thanks.

Hey there. I'm new to the whole nudies thing, so I can't anwser any RR vs. BO questions, but I can tell you about the fit. The fit is pretty tight in the thighs, mind you, I did not size down at all and things were still fairly tight, this is largely due to the slim cut. It's a true bootcut, but runs lowish on the waist, the opening is not too pronounced, just a slight widening from 8 or so inches at the knee, to 9 at the hem.

I think I would recommend sizing up to 34 in Length, but that could just be me being a bit paranoid. I have heard too many varying shrinkage stories (anywhere from 1/4 of an inch, to a jean-ruining 3 full inches). Go with what makes you comfortable.

As for sizing up, that one I will leave up to you. The slim cut of the BO is, I would think, more comparable to a slim Jim than a Regular Alf. Like I said, I stuck with my true size and they were still quite tight on the thighs. But Olas are also known to stretch a bit.

The question of whether or not to size down would really be a matter of your personal taste, and how well you know your anatomy. If you know you have horse calves and thighs, I would recommend either sticking with your actual size or sizing down one. Ola's are far less swimmy a fit than the Alfs, I tried on a pair of RRDS in New York before I ordered these Olas. If you say your Alfs were tight after sizing down once, I would not recommend anything more so on the Olas.

Good luck with it though. The Olas are easily the best bootcut I have ever worn (sorry Joey ) and you'll love them!

Be reminded that this is a really old thread. My Olas are now over two months old, without wash of course.
