rescues and english are the same cut. English are no longer made/

Here's a pic of of 3 pairs of new APCs stacked. I have aligned the waist and stacked them on top of each other.

top: English, 29 waist

middle: Rescue 29 waist

bottom: Rescue 30 waist

As you can see the Rescue 29s are clearly longer. I might have kept them if they weren't. Instead I went with the English. The Rescue 30s were too wide at the waist.

Here is a pic of the 2 Rescues. 29 and 30. Now, both of these are supposed to be 34 inches long?

I've seen those before, I think they are one wash. So no. also got the fake selvedge going. nice nonetheless.

my APCs keep stretching and stretching. I thought they were loosened up a month ago, they are getting even looser.

I would go for the 28s.

I have seen APC Rescues with both 34 and 36 inseams. There was no correlation to the waist size as the 29 had the longer inseam while the 30 inch waist had a 34. This is 100% fact

Here they are at week 1, I will take some more pics soon. FWIW I had Rescues at the same time to try on, I think the fit was the same. I returned the rescues because I thought the pockets looked better on the english.

Just felt like posting a pic. 29 waist has stretched to 31.5. I'm not in a hurry to get wear marks, I like the look of dark denim. Though I wish I could hurry up and hem them though if they shrink more than a couple of inches on the leg, maybe I never will. No smell or spills yet.

lol no, inside out is for the washing machine. soaking doesnt matter if its inside out

Xtra strength starch in a huge can is like $1.03 at Target

As far as fairly common brands, the Earnest Sewn Maz dark is by far the best. Its not just rubbing, they actually have some built in wrinkles.

I recently donated my pair of old navys but there was certainly nothing wrong with them. The color was good, the wear was decent. Just go and try them on, no one can argue with you if they fit right and look good.

i think at 8 mos you better be able to wash it

by true 32 i mean the measured waist size when the jean is laid flat in profile. my apc size 29 measure 31 or 31.5 inches now. try measuring you other jeans

I had both models for over a week before I returned one.

If you are a true 32, the first thing to realize is that 33 english are way too big for you. Give up on that idea.

In my opinion (and I laid both jeans out in various sizes, side by side, etc), they are proportionally exactly the SAME cut. I do not think English are fuller cut than Rescues at all. The leg openings are exactly the same.

There may be some slight sizing variance so that english 32s are the same as Rescue 33s, but aside from this there is no difference in cut. There are slight differences in pockets, stitching, and buttons. thats it.

If I were you I would get Rescue 30 or 31. If you are worried about them being too tight get the 31s. They stretch a lot though.

awesome, this is the site i was looking for:

Thank you.

Okay no one really calls Harajuku "'Juku" but I decided to do it to stay one step ahead of that whore Guin Stepfani.

Anyway I have seen the site posted here which shows just random pics of people in Japan and what they are wearing, I believe it is updated almost on a daily basis. Can someone post the link?

sure you can shorten jeans by more than 2 inches. The problem is that if you do it before the wash, you cant be sure how much they will shrink to. thats all.

^ for one, Hanes, they just dont have a store or whorey models. seriously...

Yves Klein Blue, is coindentally very similar to the best car color ever made, Rally Blue Pearl by Subaru

most all region dvd players can easily convert between ntsc and PAL as well.

sizing totally depends on each shoe or maker and not really whether they are japanese. What shoe is it?

oddly enough, they will be pretty similar.

Korea is really good for cheap clothes which you have never heard of the brand. Dongdaemun is the mecca for this type of shopping. Some are knockoffs but why would you want a Dior purse for $50.00 anyway? You can get that if you want but the real treasure is in the non-label stuff. Many of these clothes are made by local designers and textile factories. I still remember a pair of dress shoes which I really liked at doota and did not buy, I sorely regret it now. I have never seen anything similar in the states. So many clothes in DDM is limited by fact of nature (they are made in some rinky factory, once they finish this months shirts they tool up for something else) where as in Japan its limited just to be limited. In korea you really have to make your own style.

Japan is definitely geared towards really young kids with a huge bankroll. I mean they invented the $90 printed t shirt right? I don't hate on this type of shopping, I myself bought a $200 jacket at Atmos in Harajuku, but I would definitely rather spend $200 at doota.
