i'm 6 feet 160 lbs, i was thinking of getting a size 28 NS

what kind of fit are you looking for? pic?

i think i'm in the same boat as you. what's your waist size

[bsyde82]

do you guys really recommend sizing down 2+ on PS? I normally wear a size 30 in most denim brands (acne, nudies, pbj, rag and bone for reference). I've tried on new cures, and a 28, I couldn't even fully button it up, and a 29, I could still barely put on. I realize its stretches a good amount, but how tight should it be at the outset? I mean those 29 cures could not be worn in public the way it fit initially.

right now im considering just going with the 29s on the PS

I normally wear 30 in most jeans, I got nc's in 26, couldnt button past 2 buttons the first day, the second week they seem almost loose.

i want a very slim fit but not TIGHT. i'm a size 30 in naked and famous and a 30 or 31 in levis, a 28 in diesel

[pieiskewl]

Depends on how you also want your top block to fit. I sized down 2 for my ps, 30->28 and its pretty loose in the thigh and waist, but its still slim, and not crushing my balls. but its tight in my calves, I need to peel it off of them almost, also over 3 months in. and the more you size down, the more it will stretch.

found on google haha...

[Sk8b0rdE]

my thighs and calves streched alot and so did the stitching on the outter sides of my thighs and knees but i guess thats normal, if they ever pop open it costs like $10 to resew at any place around here insted of waiting weeks to send back to apc

Skinny fit tight is NC and you don't want that. If you're a 31 in Levis, then maybe a 28 in PS or NS. Since you want yours pretty slim, go with PS. I sized down 3 and I have big thighs. Within a week, the thighs weren't that tight anymore and there was room for my twig and berries. The way your jeans look in the pic, that's maybe 2 sizes down? What city do you live in?

[illmatic]

Word. I read that PS is low rise? I don't know how I feel about low rise. Those pictures aren't of me, I just found those on google, when searching NS...but that's how I'd want them to fit. I'm from Amherst, MA.

[illmatic]

Does anyone have some good pics of the PS? I honestly don't know what to get..

[Spastic_Koala]

Look through this thread.

[illmatic]

Yeah, I have but no one every specifies what size they are.

[RyanF]

true waist is 30 ish

need advice on NC sizing...tried on 28 in the store and they were tight but i could do all but the top button...go with 27 or 28?

edit: it might bear mentioning that im 5'8 and 145 pounds and plan on dropping another 5-10 (for muay thai) and i think i was more like 150-155ish when i tried on the 28s

[illmatic]

I'm 6 foot, 155-160 lbs.

Sup Ryan, it's L/Jon... I'm still wearing my size 26 NCs that I picked up back in June and at first I couldn't get the top botton up (although I could button them up the next day.) The fit is still pretty tight, but I kind of baby them and don't wear them hard/exert myself much in them.

But I'd say definitely try on the 27s and see how they are, though the 28s might be fine...

[helloidistance]

Here's some pictures of some NS I got to give you guys reference. I'm 6'2 165-170. True waist (measured at hips where my jeans sit is 34"). I got a NS size 30.

These are at one week. They have stretched since then (Now at 3 weeks), but they are still slim (actually need them to stretch out more in the seat/hip area) and I still don't need a belt to hold them up.

From the looks of it you'll get quite the package fade there (no homo)

Haha. Yeah dude I didn't even notice that. They were pretty tight when I first got them, sorry for that haha. Like I said they stretched out now. For anyone who gets them size down for sure though these things stretched so much already. Like I said they still stay on without the need for a belt, but they stretched like crazy. The waist has stretched out to 34" already (it was 32" when I first got them).

whats your waist size?

i'm 6'0" 160lbs waist size around 33, 34, so i think we're probably around the same size? i'm also looking to get NS but a tiny bit looser and in black which is supposed to be a bit tighter. you think i should go for a size 30 or 31?

thanks jonny bby...will do! <3

[illmatic]

So if I'm a 30-31 in Levi's, I'd be a 28 in APC?

[joelz]

illmatic - stop asking the same question over and over again. Read this thread and the old thread. You want to size down 2-3 on NS

[bradl]

So if I'm a 30-31 in Levi's, I'd be a 28 in APC?

Go into a bloody shop where they sell A.P.C. Thats your best bet to get the best fit.

APC sizing: challenging the indigo-challenged since 1988

Where are you located man. APC has shops in NY and CA. If your not in either state call one of the shops. Greg the GM in NY was very helpful in choosing the right size over the phone. Plus he said you could do exchanges until you got the correct fit.

34" where the jeans sit at my hips. I don't know I never owned a pair of black NS, but I hear they don't stretch as much so you might want to get a 31.

[cookiecook]

ok another sizing question.

I have just received my 31 NS, they fit really well straight out of the box with no real effort buttoning up. I'm aware this should not be the case as they are going to stretch like a motherfucker.

Thing is, if I go down another size to the 30 or 29, is the length going to be significantly shorter as I'm quite tall?

Most of the size charts don't show the leg size, I'm hoping they are all the same length?

I measured these at just over 34.

EDIT. PIC:

size down 1 more or 2? thighs are pretty tight already...

help appreciated

[cman]

they look okay now, but they are probably going to end up stretching to be too big. the inseam size on a 30 or 29 will be the same length as your 31s, 34 inches.

[spade]

Nothing major but I took some updated pics of my new cures. about 4 months of actual wear. No washes or soaks.
