my OCD is real and i think Y2K silvertabs really fit the bill in terms of balancing baggy and taper, but theyre mad hard to come by in good condo in ebay in the size i wear and really inconsistent in terms of the actual fit due to shrinkage or whatever.
so i faced the dilemma of buying baggy tapered that werent too tapered for a sized up top, which forced me to go a waist size up (which is too big for me IMO) or buying big boys in my actual waist size for the big seat and thigh, that were always too baggy in the leg opening cuz im short and have to hem them.
so i took a pair of cromers that were a waist size too big but had the perfect leg and traced the taper from the knee down on a pair of big boys i despised the clownishly large leg opening of and brought it to my sewing machine and BOOM.
i finessed a pair of baggy jeans that actual fit my waist without weird inward crotch folds, and a leg that tapers to a clean opening that stacks nicely. i essentially created silvertab clones out of my favorite denim supplier… highly rec to anyone looking for a clean baggy to invest in a singer heavy duty or a tailor and altering to ur prefs, instead of searching endlessly for the right fit. im sure this has been said somewhere, just posting a success story cuz nobodytpld me how altering works
