  1. I'm looking for some sizing device, as I don't know of anywhere in Toronto where I can try APCs on (any advice on that matter would be appreciated too).

    I've been rocking a pair of Capital E York Low Skinny's in a 32 for almost everyday of the last year. They were my first big denim purchase, and at the time I was largely uninformed, but they've definitely sold me on the raw denim culture.

    I'm looking to pick up some APCs, and I'm think I want to go for a pair of New Cures in a 30, maybe 29.

    Can anyone give me any suggestions as to how that would fit in comparison to my Capital E's?

    i own both these jeans, and i can tell you, the raw denim of the capital e's aren't really raw, wait until you get your hands on apc's, which are available in toronto, you should check your super city! or the super jet set section

    the new cure is definitely closer to the york, though the cure is definitely a little bit straighter. stretching is similar.

    those are the most amazing pair of APC's i think i've ever seen.... how'd you wear em in like that? how many washes? how long? so many questions....

    NC's have never come in raw black, if they did, I'd be on that shit like flies on stink. But alas, they do not, and have not ever come in raw black. Cures did, but only for a limited time.

    they did come in cashmere black denim... well they had the same fit. those were amazing, pm me if anyone has them in a 26 and wants to trade for 26 NS

    ok so I just grabbed some new standards in black from APC catalogue. They fit just like my indigo did at first, a little more comfortable and less stiff, but GODDAMN the new button blows! I want to know...whose idea at APC was that? What people saw and felt the result and signed off on it?

    Because I want to go personally slap them in the face. I hate how thin it is now and how it's some wierd 2-piece thing that rattles flimsily. The flat face and thin button make it look cheap and the rattling makes me feel like i'm pulling on cheap jeans.

    I'm sure that after a week I won't even notice and won't mind. But a detail like that on a 160$ jean that i'm going to wear for at least 180 days and probably more is kind of a big deal. In a niche market where details make the difference from brand to brand, you just shouldn't do something like that, however relatively "entry-level" you are. Minor annoyances make justifying spending that much on a piece of casual clothing so much more difficult.

    Rant over.

    edit: just so no one considering buying apc freaks out, when the button is actually buttoned it doesn't rattle. just pulling them on/off

    I agree on so many levels
