I like your Medusa shirt the best. First Rogue Gallery and now you.

Portland, ME is turning out some tight shit.

I bought a Marc wool coat this season. It cost $530. Its not the one pictured, but its close. Its grey wool, hooded, and knee length. I would also check out Bluefly.

New, the Jean Shops classic fit and APC New Stds. fit are identical. You can reference all those APC posts and then use the transitive property....so forget about classic fittings Sugarcanes or 45 rpms since those have a high 501 rise. The denim for the APCs and Jean Shop is different so they break in/ bag out differently.

As for the quality of the denim, the Jean Shops denim is closer to Nudie RRs Selvage then the Apcs New Stds. In terms of build quality, I feel like the Jean Shop dips their denim more then Nudie and they use more material with better stiching and better selvage detailing (aka the fly area).

Why would you need more pairs of jeans with the same style? I would wear your Jean Shops to death.

Steven Alan (NYC) has some Rag&Bone denim and a few shirts. Call them for your size.

This article has the scoop.

Jean Shop = Eric Goldstein, Gene Montesano and Barry Perlman

Their classic fit is exactly the same as Apc New Standard, but I'll pay the extra $110 dollars for whip stiching, deeper indigo, and a selvage fly like none other.

Just buy two sizes online and keep the one that fits best. There's no place in DC with APCs. I've got a pair of APCs and RRs and I'm a 33 in both.
