Got these hemmed to 37 inches.

Measurements: Pre/Post/Difference

Waist: 16" / 16" / 0 (stretched em while wet)

Thigh: 10" / 9.25" / .75"

Knee: 8" / 7.8" / .20"

Inseam: 40" / 38" / 2" (plan to hem 3" or 4". not exactly sure how much.)

Leg Opening: 7.25" / 7"

I only did a 30 minute hot soak. I don't want to wash them a few months from now and have them shrink inches more all around. Judging from my measurements, have they shrunk enough? Or do they have a considerable amount of shrinking to go?

If anyone is looking for sz 30 cures in the Los Angeles area, the Buffalo Exchange on La Brea is selling a pair for 60 bucks. I saw them today and they had faint combs setting it. Maybe soaked once. Nonetheless, theres plenty of life still in them.

^ those are damn good fades. did you soak or wash first?

Keep in mind there is a big difference between the cuts. With my experience I have less hip flair with PS, but stick with the NC if you don't like tapered cuts.

Yeah. I guess its a trade off between hipflair in nc and a smaller leg opening in ps. I choose hip flair cuz it will probably lessen over time...i hope.

im not quite sure what you're asking, but when your PS stretch out, they'll look similar to the NCs you posted.

exactly, they will look similar. i probably wont buy the PS since i already have the NC. thanks for the feedback and sorry for the confusion.

i'm with mrjfang... give it some time and they will stretch into a nice slim fit.

while i do agree with both of you, i can't jusfify tossing out my stretched out nc 30s. they are fairly similar amirite? here's a comparison picture.

What do the 28's look like? Keep in mind those are going to end up between 16"-17" in the waist.

Honestly, the 28s were the tightest things my nuts have ever experienced. I couldn't even button the first button. So i can either stay with size 29 or get size 30, which will have more room for my thighs.

actually though, my 30 ncs are fitting a little looser since i bought them. i might just stick with em afterall.

I have a 34inch waist..what size NS should i shoot for to ensure a good fit?

to ensure a good fit you need to consider your thigh size as well. but generally i've been reading that most people size 3 down. you'd get a 31 in that case.

apc petite standard 29 (down 2)

should i get em?

size 29 ps in the apc dressing room. these were the best out of 28 and 29 in both ps and ns. how is the fit, should i pull the trigger? i'm a true 31.

nice fit and nice kicks

I got these slim jim dry black coated back in june 2009, about 7 months ago. I'm considering a soak, but I dont wanna lose the leathery look.

^^ About 3-4 weeks. As I said before, 27" thighs. They were very tight when I first put em on. I tried on a 32 last summer n I could barely get them on, and I have added about 10 lbs since then so I highly doubt I could fit into them at this point, so I went with 33.

The fit is pretty baggy, I'd prefer a bit more taper below the knee, probly shoulda went with Petite Standard - the thighs are bigger n there is more taper below the knee.

Im heading to the apc store to try on some size 29 ps and 29 ns (they are out of 28s). i hope they fit better than my size 30 nc.

^how long have you had them?

i go to that bar all the time.

my thighs are big...hope it will stretch so I can sag it little bit....

I also have large thighs. I have tried to sag my nc 30 (size down 1) in order to mitigate the thighs and bum. What do you think?

Those look a bit baggy for NC in the calfs. If you're planning to wear them that high I would try one size down. Unless of coarse you want a looser fit, can't say those are the perfect cut for you. I would also try a NS or PS in 28.

I definately aimed for a looser fit, albeit with apcs smallest cut haha. I would have gotten, at least considered, the PS fit if the Barney's Co-op in Costa Mesa had them. But so far Im pleased with my decision to only size 1 down on the nc as it fits slim rather than tight. I'll post fits of me wearing the ncs lower on my waist.

i don't know if it's your stance but your ass looks wiiide. i probably would have gone with NS as i don't really like the carrot look (as in i'd only get nc if i had slim thighs..)

but post pics with a normal stance. they're probably fine

Thanks for the feedback. Tbh, Im a fan of the carrot look. In fact I considered getting the big bengt nudies fit.

I'll post some normal-stance pics with a sag this afternoon. Hopefully, the sag will lessen the wideness. Do you think my nc would eventually stretch more around the thighs?

Fit pics: One week old NEW CURES size 30. I went one size down due to my large thighs. I am 5'8" and 150lbs.

What y'all think about the fit on the thighs and the bum. No homo.
