Is Lightning the type of mag that would be in Kinokuniya, or is it more rare than that?

SELVAGE SELVEDGE DIOR HOMME JIL SANDER NWT MINT LOOK!

holy shit this thread has gone to sooooo many noobs. no offense guys, but honestly, you've all asked the same questions over and over and over again. and yes, i was once like you, but i decided to just GET THEM, instead of repeating myself over and over again.

OK, here goes:

-APC New Standard: Normally, people like to size down between 1-3 on these. They are a straighter legged cut, wider leg openings, and a very standard profile. While they can be worn baggy or tight, that is to the wearer's discretion. New Standards are selvage denim, and if you refer to any picture of them, they will tell you so. NS now come in indigo and black raw denim, so you can go either way. The sizing on the black is a tad bit different due to the denim by affected by a different dye, but it should not affect the overall sizing. YES, these jeans do stretch, that is why you size down considerably from what your real waist is. Knee bulge will happen if you get them sized down considerably, but will not ruin your jeans. If you soak them, they will shrink some and assume a form closer to their original shape.

-APC New Cure: New Cures are very similar to NS, save for the fact that they are not selvage and have a tapered leg opening. The silhouette is much slimmer and generally tighter. Most people size down only 1-2 (I sized down 2) on these. But, like other APC jeans, they stretch considerably after a couple weeks of wear. APC NC's have been made in indigo and a prewashed grey denim, and there has been no indication that they will be doing black, as of yet. The different between New Cures and Cures is just that, one is a more recent version of the other. The Cure, generally, has been the women's version of the NC, but APC seems to make jeans on a unisex level, so they can go either way.

DO NOT WORRY IF THEY ARE RIDICULOUSLY STIFF WHEN YOU GET THEM, THAT IS THE NATURE OF QUALITY RAW/DRY DENIM. THEY WILL SOFTEN UP IN ~30 WEARS (2 WEEKS IF YOU WEAR THEM EVERY DAY). THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY WILL BE FLIMSY, IT MEANS THEY WILL ADHERE TO YOUR BODY AND BECOME MORE AND MORE COMFORTABLE. APC DENIM IS TOUGH AS NAILS AND THE ONLY REAL WAY TO RIP THEM IS TO DO SPLITS OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL THAT IS.

SO, what have we learned children:

-NS: size down between 1-3, if you're unsure, go 2 or 1. These are straight leg, and have a wider leg opening than NC's - selvage

-NC: size down between 1-2, if unsure, just 1. These are a tapered straight leg, and have a slimmer opening below the knee than NS's - non-selvage

-When soaking your APC's, it is generally best to do a 2 hour soak in hot water. I am prone to add ~2 small gobs of Woolite Dark, and when they are finished, rap them in a towel, pat till excess water is out, hang to dry, wear if you want them to stretch a bit.

-When washing your APC's, just wash them as you would any regular pair of jeans, but DO NOT put them in the dryer if you are afraid they might shrink too much. Cotton will always shrink when exposed to heat for extended periods of time.

Both around $140 at most retailers that stock them. If you are unhappy with them once you receive them, do not worry, you can always resell them. There are plenty of people who would take a brand new pair of APC's w/ tags off your hands for close if not the same price as you paid. Also, do yourself a favor and try and go to a store to try them on, its the only real way to be sure of your purchase.

Enjoy your A.P.C's!

hope that helped everyone. My facts might be a little off, but generally, that is what I've learned from this entire thread.

Ballys run very small. They are the only dress shoe I have ever worn where I take my sneaker size.

Took some pictures of Jason Schwartzman when he was i Sweden promoting Darjeeling limited, he wore New Cures, said he had been wearing them for four years. I told him to het New Standards.

Celebrity saying they were down with something since X years ago.. Cut that in half for the real number.

damn, popularity on these has definitely risen. i got mine brand new on ebay last year for less then $100

Salesman at Alden SF said the Indy is their single best-selling shoe, period, and has been for a long time. Even though it's hidden in the back corner, way high on the shelf.

goddam, those are beautiful bill. i'm a big believer of paul smith shoes and boots. how is paul smith sizing compared to alden's?

Paul Smith sizing is huge, usually. Those are marked 8.5, which PS converts to full 9.5US, but still run larger than that. So his estimation of 9.5-10 is right. Because they are so soft, they tend to be slightly more forgiving.

this is some post-post-modern dead tech jeans

is that DJ AM?

try turning off the flash and holding your hands still first.

the writer's guild strike...no more office until that fucking dispute gets settled...

these MFers struck at the most perfect time. America is addicted to their TV, all fuccers did at work was talk about TV, right now they got nothing to talk about, filling a void with donuts or some shit. Smart fuccin writers

PS the cobbler probably thought you asked him "would you call this color cordovan color?". and he said "yeah"

i copped a coffee today. $1.60

both Tricker's are sikkkkk

shill bidding is a retarded practice. would someone please explain why anyone would use it? is there no reserve bidding on ebay?

shill bidding helps you save like $0.18 cents on reserve listing fees, but more importantly it helps the bidding war mentality. Some people are just turned off by reserves or starting prices that are high, even though they would pay more than that in a bid war.

Also, in that instance where you got only one rich fucca bidding on your Maison Carpy Dime boots, but you know this rich fucca bid $2000.00, shill bidding can bid that shit up so it ends at $2000 and not 99 fukn cents.

anyway thats how it works.

why did you accept the fukn package? shoulda refused to pay, send it back. get your money back. U RILLY LIKE DIOR DAT MUCH?

fuck anything called "nancy boy"

cockollage. nice

So can you skate or not?
