In my experience with the XX-005, the waist stretches up to 0.5" less than the raw measurement. The 007's should be similar, as they use the same denim.

more pix plz

...there are pics in this thread and on self edge. if you want to know how they fade, they fade like the 634s, which are in the denim gallery that is stickied

buy the pbj xx-008! ive been wearing mine for 3 months and they have yet to pick up any smells.. damn ns start to smell after 2 weeks

does anyone have measurements to New standard and new cure in size 26 ... or a sizing chart would be even better for all sizes. sorry if its in the thread and i've missed it, a search for measurement turns up nothing.

can i see some excellent fades in new cures?!

i'm re-thinking about buying a pair because i haven't seen any nice fades from any a.p.c.'s!

umm.... http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=20161

Yes, it makes the jeans less stiff. There is no need to soak sanforized jeans when you first get them. Unsanforized jeans are soaked because they shrink up considerably.

Got any pictures of the wear on the crotch?

Can anyone give me some insight on how Cures fit compared to New Cures?BTW Cures aren't mentioned at all on the FAQ.

I just find that new cures really strangle my calfs and since they're 100% cotton they don't really stretch at all. I wear a sz 28 and have fairly slim legs so I just wander if anyone else feels the same.

I was hoping that Cures would be pretty much just like new cures but with a little bit more room around the calf area. Anyone have any experience with both of them?

Unfortunately the only place I know in Sydney that stocks APCs doesn't have Cures so I can't try them on.

I don't think they make the Cures anymore. Did you try the NS?

well not necessarily when the jeans are new and unstretched and measured flat

My size 27 NS measured 29" new, and have stretched about 2" from there.

anyone know if imperial uses poly thread?

water + heat = shrink

Can anyone tell me if APC still makes the Hipster or where I could find a pair of size 30's? Those are the best fitting jeans I've ever owned and I can't find another pair if my life depended on it !

look under women's

I wear my jeans slightly below my hip bone. I don't sag them at all, I just don't like the feel of pants directly on my hips.

Isn't that considered sagged?

So I should just go for jeans with looser thighs?

You want a looser jean altogether, the thighs don't matter. The knee bulges seem to be more prominent on my tapered jeans so if anything, it depends on the lower legs. The tighter the jeans are below the knees, the more the fabric will bunch up..

Got a pair of APC new standards with a month or so of wear. Fit-wise, they're tight in the thighs and fitted in the calves, which I like. However, they've developed fat knee bulges- the fabric in front of the knee is baggy and puffs out so it looks like I'm wearing knee pads. I think this is basically caused by the tightness in the thighs- I'm stretching out the upper portion of the knees, but not stretching out the bottom proportionally.

I'd like advice on two fronts:

1) Can I fix this? They haven't been soaked yet; should I give them a hot soak and try to shrink them down again? Will this just delay the inevitable? Is their a tailoring solution?

2) How do I stop this from happening with other jeans? Is it caused by the stretchy nature of APC denim, or by my large thighs in a slim-thigh jean? Are there skinny jeans I can wear that won't get this effect?

It's going to happen to any slim fitting jean and no, you can't do anything about it.

damn it! theyre jeans ! theyre suppose to be worn rugged and creased theyre not trousers for christ sake!

lok at this guy!

bad creases? i doubt

..not those kinds of creases, he has straight vertical creases running along the inseam from the way the jeans were folded

Wait so since the Nudies and NC are sanforized that means they wont shrink if i only do cold washes for life.....so i can hem them to size as soon as i get them right....as they arent going to stretch down only out?

Sanforized jeans will shrink about 0.75" after washing, so take that into account. You'll probably be better off just washing them first if you are going to get them hemmed.

tried....left a faint white mark down the middle where the crease is.

Wear them to bed until they look better?

K...

So I have a pair of light weight prada denim i wear when i need a break from the heavy raw denim i wear. I sent them to the cleaners for the first time a few days ago. Got them back and the fuckers have the nastiest crisp CREASE down the middle, not on the seems. It is the most unsigtly thing ever.

How the fuck do I get rid of it?

I was already told I'd just have to wear them to get the crease out, But id never wear these fuckers outa the house with that ugly ass crease. Any other ways?????????

iron? (10)

hows $200 shipped sound?

front and back rise?

oh, and upper thigh

My friend Rob recently had his dog piss on his New Cures (jeans were barely a week old) and is still wearing them, unwashed!

I hope you told him he's a dumbass toolbag.

Nudies and NC are sanforized so there is no need to wash/soak before wearing. If you want to limit the contrast just wash them like you would any of your cheaper pairs of jeans, probably every week or once a month at the least.

when you say wash do you mean machine wash or soak. and if i wash right away wont i miss out on the wiskers etc or will this make it so they only come in mildy like i asked for? and by a cold wash wont they essentialy not shrink? i dont want to wash and dry the levis and ruin them if there is no hope, i would rather pass them onto someone else who can get some nice use out of them

With unsanforized denim you want to wash/soak before wearing. If you wear them in then wash/soak later, the denim will shrink up a considerable amount and all of your whiskers/honeycombs will be in awkward positions. They will still shrink with a cold soak, just not as much as a hot soak.

Also, I have no experience with STF Levi's but from what I've read, you probably didn't size up enough.

Is there any way to get the leg opening slightley smaller besides soaking?

If it is that important, you can take them to a tailor to get them tapered.

1) Wash in cold water with Woolite Dark. Wash often.

2) Wash, then hem.

3) Cross your fingers.
