Unless www.apc.fr is mailing out counterfeit jeans, I'm sure they were APCs. The pockets were too big for my tastes, other women understand this. Thus, we buy different brands of denim.

garden gnomes - I like Naked & Famous in leggy/straight (as seen on adventuretime, above (super cute, btw)). N&F also makes bootcut. Whatever brand you decide on, if you're going to buy them for her as a surprise make sure you know the fit she's looking for. Look at her favorite pair of jeans and try to find a similar pair in raw denim. And if she's taller, make sure the inseam is long enough. I'm limited by lots of brands making smaller sizes with shorter inseams (e.g.Railcar).

I've been a long-time lurker to this thread and notice a lot of guys buy their ladies denim and then complain they never wear them - it's probably because sometimes the fit is a bit awkward. Boyfriend fit is one thing, but most women aren't trying to have their backside look like a deflated balloon. Also, I don't think it's wise to get a gal the gift of raw denim that is too tight and they have to wear around the house unbuttoned for two weeks. (Not a fun introduction.)

I wear Naked & Famous selvedge indidgo Leggy/Straight in the winter. Acne Hep Raw in the summer. I know some ladies think these are lame, but they both fit well for my body type. I once got a pair or APCs and I thought my husband was going to divorce me. Huge gangly pockets, flattened pancake butt. I wanted to be super cool and super raw, but gave them to Goodwill to save my marriage.

Us bubble butts looking to show off our assets usually have to go with a brand that makes raw denim in a true women's cut. Good luck!
