finna start the new year by washing my apc ns. will post pics later. its been about 7 months, wear them like 1-2 times a week some times not even a wear.

Do you even have fades? Thats really not much wear...

[eshiku]

I wear size 30 in nudie straight sven, will a size 29 rescue fit? how much will it stretch on the rescue?

[khez]

These are nuts. What did you do in your jeans?

everyday wear. hard biking and skating in the summer and mild biking during the school year.

@oh soul legit: see above.

cant understand why some think APCs dont cut the mustard in the denim world. They throw up amazing rssults.

Pretty epic I must say. One of the better pairs of jeans I've seen posted up in this thread. If only my Petite Standards saw that much wear on the regular haha. Right now I got office fades going on! lol

[1shoeaddict]

heres some pics.

before the wash

after the wash

i know, there isnt much fading but i felt like i needed to refresh it alittle so i just put them in the washer with ice cold water and detergent, let it soak for about an 1 hr. then started the spin cycle.

whats do you guys think?

[TheNorthern]

no real damage done,1shoeaddict.

[im_shy]

*jeans that look like they were worn for 2 weeks straight*

why exactly did you wash these?

[ke1]

Pretty sure someone needs to drop some raw denim knowledge on shoeaddict. Don't think he understands the concept completely.

[Redstar*]

[jdniii]

Maybe he should stick to shoes.

[shufon]

^I wore mine for over a year without a wash. Did 50 mile+ bike rides in them quite a few times. Low contrast fades, mostly just vertical fading turning the jeans grey-ish. I stopped wearing them cause I got frustrated with the lack of fading.

edit: err, this was at whoever asked about people who had experience with black petit standards.

[1shoeaddict]

washed them because i felt like i needed to. its not the end of the road people clam down. will still be wearing these with out wash for the next couple of months.

[Redstar*]

My first pair of APCs I beat to shit and washed them for the first time a year later. You should do the same!

Some pre-wash pictures at the 7 month mark.

When I finally washed them at the one year mark they looked cool. I climbed up a mountain, went bike riding, did a little skating, lots of college drinking, etc.

[halomunkey]

dun brainwash the dude.

Hygiene always comes first. You can wash these jeans at any regularity you want, and they'll still fade nicely. They just wont have as much contrast to the fades.

But I'm a little confused about why you would post pictures of your jeans with non-existent wear. ummm and I don't think you should be asking for opinions if all you want is praise too.

I am a Nudie and Naked and Famous denim wearer.. in the next few months I am thinking of purchasing a pair of APC. I wear the Slim Jim (sz31) for Nudie, which fits me well as well as the N&F Weird Guy (sz 29).

I find the Weird Guys a bit tight in the crotch area, and I know that the tagged size of APC (in my case I was the NS) is 2 lower than the actual size.. so if I'm aiming for like a 30, I should get a tagged 28 correct? Should I get a size 30 or a 29? Not sure.. I know they are supposed to be tight at first.

For reference I'm 6 foot at 160lbs

cheers!

Thanks for the help everyone!

^ Measure the waist of your Nudies like this, subtract 2" from this measurement (as APC NS/PS run 2 sizes larger than tagged) and subtract another 1" to account for stretching (some will subtract 2" to account for stretching but I wouldn't personally recommend as you will definitely get the "tight in the crotch area" syndrome).

Eg: I'm a 34.5" waist on most of my jeans. Subtracting 3" would put me at 31.5". So either I'd buy a 31 for tight fit or a 32 for a looser fit.

[halisray]

my nudies (tagged 31) are measured as 33 (I guess they stretched?)

so I deduct 2, for a 31, so I get APC tagged 30? You sure that won't be baggy?

What I thought is that if my nudies are tagged 31 (most of my trousers are 31) then I take off 2 for APC to a 29, then drop one size to a 28?

The last thing I want is dropped $200 on a loose pair of jeans, I'm not looking for skin tight but I want a slim cut.

thanks for all the help btw

[reallypeacedoff]

Disregard your Nudie tagged size as they are vanity size as well. Your 31 Nudie probably measured 32" in the waist to start with and since then you have stretched them 1" which means you have a 33" waist. As I said, APC NS runs 2 sizes larger than tagged. You will definitely stretch APC 1" and 2" isn't hard if you wear them everyday for a couple of months biking and whatnot. Thus I think you should buy either a 29 or a 30. When I said looser, I mean mildly looser, it's one size difference which is nothing. Looking at Context charts, a 29 is 0.25" smaller in rise, 0.5" thigh, 0.25" knee and same leg opening than a 30. It's a slight difference but it may make a difference to your balls!

measure your true waist and use that as a reference.

For the NS and PS go down 2 tagged sizes from what your true waist is for a slim fit, go down 3 for a tight fit.

For example, I have a 32 inch true waist and wear a tagged 29 PS which fits quite snugly

[halisray]

alright, what about my Naked and Famous Weird Guys? Those are 29?

I guess I'll go for the size 29 then.

My roommate washed his APCs, accidently got chocolate on it two days later, and washed it again. It ended up looking better than before

[1shoeaddict]

yup i actually like the look and feel after the wash. felt like i gave it new life haha.

[FACE]
