Nowhere in the south bay that i know of, but we send a lot of people to SF Tailors in Union Square:

That's about 350 miles from the south bay.

My mistake. I didn't know South Bay referred to that area. I always thought South Bay meant the area in socal.

I think this is what Kiya recommended when I asked him.

does rjb have a slim version in indigo? your rjbs look really nice, i feel that i would like the denim material

If you want a slimmer version of the 105BSP, you should look at the 106BSP. I believe it's the same denim but for a slimmer fit.

What's the cheapest place to get APCs now? About half a year ago, I got them at context, but I didn't know if there were better places to get them. Trying to get a pair for my brother

I ordered a pair of 106BSPs last night then knocked out. I come home from class to see that they've already been shipped! Thanks Kiya and SESF with the quickness!!!

Some pics of the Sugar Canes I ordered through forward. Got them a few days ago but finally got the time to take pics and post them. Sorry for the crappy pics. My camera isn't great (and even if it were, I wouldn't be a good enough photographer to use it correctly).

Can anyone tell me more about the specs of these jeans? I tried to find them on selfedge and BiG, but no luck.

Has anyone received their mystery Canes yet? Mine will arrive today; they were shipped without response to my email.

I got mine yesterday night and I live in Los Angeles. Looks like a great deal considering there was no tax and very fast free shipping.

If I want to hem a pair of unsanforized jeans, does it make a difference if I hem it before or after I make the initial soak?

Where can you get these from 2nd?

I saw them on this page. Do you have to buy the jeans in order to get them or is there a way to get them without the jeans?

I'm thinking of washing my APC's today. I vaguely remember someone mentioning that you should only use top-loading washers because front-loading washers will give the jeans weird creases? Is this true or did I just misread what that person wrote?

My plan is to wash the jeans inside-out. My machine has a "no spin cycle" option, which I'm guessing is the equivalent of taking the jeans out during spin cycle. I'm just going to use regular tide detergent. As for drying, I'm not sure whether I should hang dry or machine dry, but I'm leaning towards machine dry right now. So is there anything wrong with what I'm about to do?

Thanks.

Since you're new I'll simplify this shit -- all unsanforized denim shrinks in approximately the following ways when hot washed:

1.5" - 2.0" in the waist diameter

0.25 - 0.5" in the thigh, rise, hip

2.5" - 3.0" in inseam length

All shrunken unsanforized denim has the ability to stretch back out to its raw measurement (and then some) if necessitated by that fat ass. Please buy Samurai jeans true to size.

I'm a newbie as well. When you say buy true to size, do you mean that if I measure myself as waist 30", I should buy the jeans with tag size 30" or buy the jeans with measured waist of 30"?

I'm guessing the latter since I've read that different lots will have different measurements even for jeans with the same tag size.

I guess this isn't APC specific, but I was wondering if there were any features of a pair of jeans that would make them look better stacked or cuffed. For example, I read that smaller leg openings stack better. So perhaps wider leg openings are better cuffed?

APC's are sized true to waist, I think... so if you're going to buy a size 30, it's going to be 30, are you going to buy them from a store, or are you ordering online? because if you buy them in a store, just try them on and if they're tight as hell (31's for you) then get them, because they will stretch like crazy..

IMO you should go 30, they will stretch, lol but at first it might sting a bit.

I should get back on my apcs...

Are you sure? I'm new here myself but the context website says they're vanity size.

nvm, found answer through the encylopedia

I'm new to the raw denim scene. I've been reading the forums for the past few days and have settled on APC NS. My true waist size is 30" (measured around the waist a bit below navel).

Since I should measure 2-3 sizes down, I should get tagged size of 27" or 28". Is that right? Just wanted to make sure since I've never spent this much on jeans. Thanks.
