  1. I did a hot soak, since I wore them without soaking for the first two months, and they've shrunken back to their original size and the weak spot seems to have tightened up. Still looks like it's going to go soon though, eh. Thanks for the advice, I was just really hoping to at least get 6 months or more out of these without any repairs.

  2. Anyone else have any ridiculous problems with their crotch blowing out? I've only had my NCs less than two months and there's a spot that's showing significant signs of wear, and is wearing thin already. A hole is not too far off. This sucks. Are there any preventive measures I can take, or should I just let it blow out and then get it tailored? I've never seen a repair job that's looked decent to me, even ones that are often well recieved on this site...

  3. After much reading, I bought a pair of New Cures in 28, and my true waist is a 31 or so... they should size accordingly if I don't want them like tights, and just slim... correct? I don't know why I'm so paranoid about a pair of jeans.

  4. Hey look, another thread about sizing!

    I currently own a pair of Crate James IV which are tagged 30 and measure about 15.5" across, and a pair of Gap Morrison's tagged 28 which measure about 16" across. Now, the APC NCs that are tagged 28 are actually a 29, will they stretch to a 31-32 easily, or would I be better off ordering a 29?

    Thanks.

  5. I'm 5'5". It sucks.

    I'm only 17 though, so I'm hoping I can squeeze a couple more inches out. I find that wearing slim clothes obviously works, as well as lean shoes like Chucks or Purcells. If my pants even have a little bagginess to them it makes me look so much shorter. A hat can sometimes help, as well as simple things like a long necklace, or a half-zipped sweatshirt.

  6. Any idea if the new Morrison's stretch much? Tried them on in the shop but wasn't sure whether I needed to size down on them.

    I take a size 30 in my Crates, and sized down to a 28 in the Morrison's. It was even worse after a hot soak, but they stretched out... I didn't measure it, all I can go by is how tight they felt on my body, ha. They might not stretch out even a full inch, but they're still tight in the waist for me. I think after a lot of wear they'll be fine.
