Recommendations for Gray Jeans?

Hi guys,

I'm currently looking for a pair of gray jeans.

They don't need to be raw (do raw gray jeans even exist?), but something in a steel-gray color would be great. Cloak gets the color right, but their cuts are too skinny for me.

I'm looking for something slim with a straight cut (no taper, please).

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I just got these (should have tomorrow hopefully)

Corpus "rye" in "rain" finish

slim straight, there's only 1" taper from knee to hem but it's a slim leg throughout (16" knee w 15" hem on a size 32). The color looks really cool...a pale steel grey.

There's also these Raf Simons at SW

a bit pricier at $242. Don't like the grey color as much, it's too "Levis 501 grey"

Diesel Farco 85W are straight-leg grey jeans.

the back pockets may be a little more "showy" than some want though...

I also think the Nom de Guerre grey jeans would fit the bill as their standard (or original, i can't remember the name) fit are slim without being skinny, and i think are straight leg. Blackbird used to have them, but you'd have to call to see if they're still there. http://helloblackbird.blogspot.com/s...%20de%20Guerre I just got a pair of APC faded black grey cures. I think they also had the faded black color in new standard fit as well. A few seasons back there was a different grey jean from them too. The cure model that i have is sized down 1 and it's rather roomy in the top block with a taper at the bottom. I would like to find a size smaller to tighten the thighs up, but it still looks good. They're not as versatile as the corpus jeans that GS purchased though.

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone.

I'm more interested in a darker gray jean than the ones Get smart posted. The Raf Simons ones are closer to what I'm looking for, but I'd like to avoid a distressed look.

These are the Cloak jeans that I was originally talking about. I love that dark blue-gray color.

These might be a bit darker than you're after, but Skull do a grey 5010XX. Selvage denim, loads of nice details (donut buttons, hidden rivets etc. etc.) and the 5010XX is a really nice slim fit (nothing like a 501, despite the name). I've been wanting to get a pair of these to supplement my indigo pair, but haven't got round to it yet.

I do like the look of those Corpus ones as well, btw.

I don't like grey jeans, but Earnest Sewn has a couple. The ES Rotton in ?Greaser Grey? is a dark gray with maybe hints of blue. (I'm not 100% i got the name of the wash right). I didn't like either the Rotton cut, or the greaser grey, but YMMV, as they say.

That fits all your categories. Slim but not skinny, and a nice grey color. Cheap too, though they were cheaper on sale when I get them a month ago.

Nudie Jeans had a gray regular ralf this last season, which you might still be able to find. I got mine from Context.
