My APCs were stolen out of a gym locker room today in Boston South End (more specifically, the South End Fitness Center at Boston Medical Center).

Things happen, and I should have kept a lock on that, but I can only assume that the thief was one of two people.

1) A denim aficionado, or

2) A man in desperate need of pants.

I think this because he took the CASH, Klipsch headphones, and a train ticket from my pocket and put it all back neatly on the top shelf of the locker before running off with my pants and belt. Weird, I know.

Funny thing is, I was holding off posting pics in the scones thread until they were ready to be retired, which would have been literally tomorrow, as I ordered a new pair on Friday. 1.5 years of hard-living. The things were fuckin haggard, man, you guys would have loved them.

What really upsets me is that they ran off with my belt. I had worn that thing for close to 5 years with 4 other pairs of dry denim. It was a gorgeous piece of leather, and I can't buy a new one because I forgot what brand it was. Here is a picture of it on some old Sammies.

If anyone could help me out by IDing this belt, or even just recommending a similar one, I'd be pretty goddamned grateful.

From what I remember, I bought it at nordstroms around 4 years ago for like $50. it was wider than most belts, but not quite 2". (I'm thinking either 1 5/8 or more likely 1 3/4" wide.

Thanks,

Jim

not so much a tailor as much as a dry cleaner that did alterations, but the jeans stacked in a way that hid the seams anyway.

APC Rescues at about 8 months or something.

Washed 6 or 7 times. The bottoms got messed up when I took them in to get the heels repaired. They decided to cut and reattach the entire bottom 4 inches for some reason. Whatever. I started a new pair as soon as the crotch blew.

does anyone have the black and white animated gif (I know i've seen it on this forum before) of the older guy performing a very slow, very focused, very deliberate applause?

or could just post it for me?

thanks.

bump. buy these.

bump doodlie

honestly though, i'd probably let them for for like 60 dollars.

let me know. Also, run a tad big. I wear an 8 in chucks, if that helps.

bumpity bump.

ninety bucks.

I can't believe I forgot to post size and measurements...

size 32, hemmed. (non chain)

measurements:

16.5 waist

33.5 inseam

10.5 rise

9.75 hem

8.25 knee

keep in mind that these are the stretched measurements, as it's been over a month since Ive soaked them with woolite, and I've worn them every day.

Dont wear these anymore, are selling. them.

50 bucks if you want them.

size 8.5, i wear an 8 in chuck taylors.

pics:

send me an IM with ideas.

*Update*

I still can't believe I couldn't get rid of these for a hundred bucks, but since I'm moving soon and trying to rid ofself of things I don't use anymore, I'll let them go for for 60 dollars plus shipping,

*End update*

Im pretty much done with bootlegs. But these jeans, man. These jeans just have so much more love to give!!

You pick them up and they feel like they need a wearer. I can no longer be that wearer, but I'd love to find someone to fill the position.

Im not even sure what to ask, but Ill start at $100. but will accept reasonable offers:

Caution! PIC DUMP!

Pics:

Pants have been worn almost 4 months every day, one cold soak wth woolite a couple months back. two hot soaks / hang dries initially. hemmed, but not chain.

But theyre still gorgeous jeans! hundred bucks, or something interesting.

I dont THINK this forum is the greatest fans of fryes. I really like them, so I rocked the for a year with these results:

Theyre done though. and I'm selling them, but have no idea how much a pair of worn fryes with a dog bite would fetch.

I was planning on posting a couple pics of my Samurais at two months, but after seeing the previous page, I decided to wait a few more.

Last year I accidentally put an unretracted pen into the front pocket of my nudies. The ink bled through to the outside, leaving a penny-sized blotch. I remember not caring much about it at the time, but I got some vomit on them about a month later, so I had them dry-cleaned. The dry-cleaning got the ink out, as well as the puke.

*bump*

I'll probably put these on ebay tomorrow if I don't get any interest.

update:

here are fit pics: (model is 5'10", 150lbs, plays on expert)

It kind of hurts me to do this, since I really liked these jeans before they shrank, but oh well.

Flathead 3007 bootcut. An extremely nice, modern fitting buutcut jean made with an extremely high quality selvedge denim. They fit me well pre-soak, but I under estimated how much these would shrink post-soak, so now they're up for sale. Already shurnk, and damn near brand new.

I bought them at Self Edge on Friday afternoon (November 2nd) (have picture of receipt to prove purcahse date), went home and gently soaked them in tepid water for an hour, and let them hand-dry until monday. They were worn monday - wednesday for 30 hours total. I decided that even if they stretched out, they'd fit too slim on me, so I soaked them briefly once more to remove the slight creases that had start to set on the lap and behind the knees, and I let them dry until this morning (November 9th)

These really are spectacular Jeans, but they are too tight on me now.

Them have lost absolutely no indigo. Even during the soak, the water as as clear as it ever was when the jeans were removed. The creases I started to set are gone, and these are ready for a new owner and a new life.

They were expensive ($280 + tx), and I'm not going to eat a large portion of it, so I think $160 plus shipping seems fair to me.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free ask or voice them.

I know I don't have much sufu experience / rep / feedback or whatever, but I do have excellent ebay feedback, check under the user: sevennus

*note* I forgot to take the my keyring off of the belt loop before tking the picture. You can have it if you want it I guess, or I can take it off before I send them. Either way.

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you all know what a glowing experience I had at self edge today.

I live in Sacramento, which is about two hours to Kiya's store, (and about 4 hours back, because of traffic) which might seem like a long distance to travel for one boutique, but it turned out to be completely worth it.

Kiya is knowledgable, friendly, and extremely helpful. I would recomend his shop to any of my friends, and I'm now whole-heartedly recommending it to you.

I posted these about a month and a half ago, but they've since gotten really dirty and torn.

This is after a wash and some repairs (done by me, obviously), I'm probably going to hang 'em up in a couple months in favor of something a little looser.

I've been lurking here for quite some time, and I've decided to start posting, starting with my 7 month old ralfs.

One dry clean, one machine wash, and one ocean wash, in that order.
