so i'm trying to put together a formal afterparty affair for about 20-25 people. it's going to be formal as in suits/ties for guys and dresses for girls. ideally all i'm looking for is a sweet penthouse/suite/loft.

i'm trying to book a suite at the hotel on rivington but they have so many strict policies on partying/hosting an event so i'm trying to get some back up plans. anybody know how i get find some cool apartments/suites/penthouses that i could rent out for the night?

thanks

i live in northern nj, close to the nyc shipping store only about 45 min out. its just annoyig to go into the city so i bought them online. took me 2 days to get them and i chose the 3 day option. you should get them soon

should i soak them in cold water for a couple hours? your right they were not that hard to get on, and they aren't that tight...i don't want them to stretch out much more, esp the waist, so will soaking them help minimize the shrinking?

Came in today, really quick shipping. My first raw denim jeans.

I got a size 28, thinking I'm a regular size 30 so I should size down two. It's actually not as tight as I thought it would be, being that people write on these forums how it's painful to get the jeans on. mine fit on fairly easily, and i'm hoping they won't stretch out too much. they are a bit narrow/slim so hopefully if it stretches out a little they will fit nicely.

keep in mind i'm only 5'6 (yes a midget) so the stacking on the bottom looks weeird, i thought i would hem them but they aren't too bad looking.

any advice on where i should go from here? my plans were to give them a nice cold soak and try to get the inseam a little shorter, but other then that is there any other benefit from soaking them? should i just wear them as they are until theyget dirty?

p.s. i have kindofa bigger built upper body compared to my skinny legs so i look kinda weird

OK. so similar situation you guys ahve prob all heard. i haven't posted before but 'ive been reading around for quite some time now.

i just bought apc new standards size 28. that should be OKAy considering i'm about a true 30/31ish....hopefully?

now what should i do when i get them? i want to try and get the inseams to shrink a bit since i'm only 5'6, but i dont know yet the 34" inseam might look nice. if i want to shrink a bit, i know its sanforized so i'll only get a little shrinkage, but hot water or cold water?

Thanks. and i'll post pics when i get them and report on how they progress
