  1. I've been rocking my Rescue's for about 2 years now (not daily wear but weekly wear or more), I even crashed my motorcycle while wearing them.

    Anyways, I'm tired of the fit, they're too baggy/straight leg for me. I'm interested in switching it up to something more tapered that gets skinnier at the leg opening BUT I don't want a lower rise, I like the rise of the Rescue very much as I'm not a slim guy.

    So I'm thinking of going with the New Standards which I read are more tapered at the leg but maintain a regular rise. Is this correct?

    Also very important, I am a 34 in Rescue but I found they stretched a bit too much in the waist in the end (never washed, never soaked). Should I stick to a 34 NS or drop to a 33 NS since the legs will be different as well?

    Finally, does ANYONE still do discounts on them? I got my Rescues for like $125 shipped back in the day but now its $155-165 + shipping :/ I know of the new APC rules but if anyone wants to PM me with a hint or two, thanks!

    Even if someone can suggest another brand of jeans that may fit how I want them in the same price range? I really want to go with some black coated Slim Jims but Im pretty sure the rise will be too low for my wonderful gut lol

  2. I'm at the point where I've been wearing my APC Rescue's for about a year now on and off... Wore them all the time when I was on my bike, but then I crashed it. Don't have a bike anymore, and can't bear the 37" inseam... I used to stack them on my motorcycle boots and all was good, but now wearing with high tops, they stack like crazy and become really weighted down below... If I wear any normal shoes, the jeans go under the sole all the time.

    Should I get them hemmed to my standard 32" inseam? If yes, should I tell the tailor something specific? I can't risk screwing these jeans up!

  3. damn i want those shoes but no one is selling any brand new size 9's...

    why do u call them 8/10, anything wrong other than the soles?

    comes with box, tags, and extra laces and all?

    if you shoot me an offer i cant refuse shipped to canada, ill consider it... ive never bought used shoes before and dont feel like starting if you catch my drift

  4. Sucker!!! What tha Fuck? For True Religion? You could have spent that on 45rpm, Sammy's, Fullcount, Studio D'Artisan, Iron Heart, Sugarcane, Oni, Pure Blue, Flathead, FOB...

    Like I said, 3 years ago lol

    About 2 years and 10 months before I "saw the light"

    My last 2 jean purchases have been PumaxEvisu's (worn finish) and now I'm working on some APC Rescues.

  5. It's just that the jump from $30-40USD to almost $80USD through a proxy doesn't really interest me.....

    I rather wait for them to stock up at the NYC store and get someone from their to ship out to me, like people in this thread have already been doing.

    Don't even get the Japanese sizing lol
