no clue how cxbxw's pants manage to fit...

As long as you're not looking into PS or NC I think you'll be fine.

Because of the price increase and the removal of the pin, my next pair of pants probably won't be APCs. Yeah...might sound ridiculous, but the pin really sold it for me. Without that little touch, it just looks like any other pair of pants to me.

Don't wring and or iron the area and you're good to go

I don't think I've ever posted close-up shots, so here are my PS. They're 2 years old now but I haven't wore them much the last year.

nice thanks for rescuing this page

You tried them on, right? So you should know your sizing better than anybody else on this forum. The system for sizing down that is used on the first page is mainly for people who haven't had the convenience to try them on.

Are you guys serious with the 28? Think about how happy your thighs and balls and gonna be.

@cxbxw

I don't think thats going to fit well.

a 26 is ~ 28" right so you need to stretch it 3" to fit you.

I just manage to completely button up a tagged sz 30 PS, but i tried a taggedsz 29 in a store and was not able to button up the top 1 or 2.

My friend suggested a 28 or 29 as the APC denim will stretch alot.

Any suggestions ?

Should i go for 28 or 29 ?

Get what fits snug/tight and can be buttoned all the way (the 30 I guess in your case)

Taking into account stretching is one thing, but getting clothes that clearly are not your size is another thing. I don't mean to direct this particularly to you, but rather people that wonder why their pants are ripping apart when 2 for $20 jeans from Walmart can last longer

^ i agree, the faux noir's look really great

i know its been talked about before, but can someone update me on the trade in program that apc offers? Will they take any preworn apc denim, and do they do mail orders?

I do believe that they will take any APC denim. You take them in, someone looks over them, and if they are satisfied you walk out with a pair of new jeans for 50% off. That being said, I don't think they will take mail orders. Might as well call and ask (323) 297-0414.

What are you talking about, Rvoe30 has one of the best PS fits on here, if not the best. That's how they're supposed to fit.

I think keedvin means to say that his PS go with DBs better than my PS do because he wears his looser.

moral of the story: Small leg opens don't go with DBs...unless you're going for that tucked in look I guess...(they did start making boot cut for a reason though)

But as I said, on my, NS looks baggy in almost any size. So it depends on your body type.

I don't get why you needed to repeat that, but okay.

PS

would PS or NS look nicer with any desert boot like clarks?

NS

i can button them all up by the 1week mark, last button is really tight thou.

selvage line all exposed

Just get the 28. What you have obviously doesn't fit.

Thats good to hear. I will continue to wear them for a few more days and hopefully they will stretch to fit.

I originally wanted to size down 2 sizes. I later learned I was supposed to size down from my true waist size. So I should have gotten the 29 tagged NS instead of the 27 tagged NS.

Yes. Try to sell them and get another pair. Like someone said in an earlier post, people have gotten them to fit, but do you really think that's a good idea? Even if you get them to button up you might end up ripping the seams down the line.

thanks for the compliments!

I started washing my old NS once a month so I can get a wash like riff. Looks like its gonna take me for than just a handful of washes

this guy's PS doesn't have it, so I guess no.

here's an old fit pic of the PS (I've actually posted it here a few times already, but whatever the fit never changed)

and of the old NS

and new ones of the unwashed NS (looks like photobucket changed the saturation and contrast but you still get the idea)

As for differences, well the NS is looser and the rise is higher. Right now I like them more than PS because I don't like the skinny jeans thing as much as I did before. I bought a second pair because I got a new cell phone that was wider than my old one. I got NS again because of price and also because I need a really small size (I wear a 25 in both cuts - if they made 24 in NS I would have considered that). Sorry I couldn't answer your question about the differences better. Just gotta try it on for yourself.

NS - 3 months NS - 15 months PS - 22 months

I think its possible to get it fixed. Probably would be better to just get a bigger size

Nope, I don't like to sag. Here are fit pics after 2 days of light wear. From the front view, I prefer how my right leg stacks, I hate how that left leg stack bubbles inward:

I don't think that is going to fit

dang all these posts and no new pictures

I got a new pair like a little over a month ago

nothing wrong with it, just personal preference anyways right?

I like the no cuff cause I feel that it looks simpler

looks good. I would get rid of the cuff though and just do stacks

looks pretty good. Just a couple suggestions... I wouldn't cuff them. Looking at how they are right now, you're gonna end up with high waters after you wash them. Also you're crotch seems uncomfortable.
