yeah, exchange.

[HighHopes]

APCs are vanity sized, so a size 28 would be a true 30" waist line. I would think that a size 29 would be good for you if you're a snug 30 in levis, but it also depends on what pair of levis you're wearing as well. You can find a siz chart for your APCs on context clothing.

thanks man, make sure you post pics of your PS!

I just measured my waist and it's just under 34 inches. Do you think a 29 would be good?

Also, how do New Standards fit compared to Imperial Dukes? I have a pair of Dukes in a 29 and they used to fit me great but now they're way too tight in the waist.

IMHO, you should switch for a 32. If those were New Standards, then stick with them but they are New Cures. Too tight can lead to blowouts and referring to jeepster, you should size down 1-2 and trust him, he knows his shit

sirch, fit looks horrible. 32 or 33 even. my NC's didn't stretch as much as NS.

Ahh I didn't notice that you said NC instead of NS. My bad!

yeah, exchange.

what if i exchanged them for a pair of new standard? would that be better?

[chris_n]

yes, because they'd actually fit your thighs. try a 31 NS. don't worry about not being able to button up all the way but make sure thighs fit.

[xSIRCHx]

alright thanks chris, im going to go exchange them right now. ill post pics when i get back,.

[xSIRCHx]

alright, im going to get a new pair right now.

ill post pics when i get back.

[computurd]

How many inches from the actual waist size do NS stretch

like how a tag 28 is really a 30 waist. How much would the actual 30 waist stretch

Also if the thighs arent rediculously tight would they still stretch

[aqhong]

^ Up to 3 inches.

And the less tight they are to begin with, the less they'll stretch, but they still will a bit.

[Goldfish]

alright, im going to get a new pair right now.

ill post pics when i get back.

Good choice. NC was not the right choice for you.

[RyanF]

size 26 New Standards, ill post better pics sometime after finals

edit: it bears mentioning my true waist is a 29, so i sized down 3

[mrjfang]

The fit looks pretty good, but I would say hem them

yeah, i am going to...that was the day i bought them...im rocking them as is for now until i get back to nyc when the semester is done and can bring em to the tailor...i was only home for a short period of time

[xSIRCHx]

so i exchanged my nc size 31 for a 32 and they fit perfect! ill post a pic tomorrow. im going to sleep in them tonight to get some stretching out.

[sentakuki]

my apc ns fit perfectly but there is a lot of knee bulge. i know that is to be expected but i'm wondering if it will disappear after washing? and also: how big of a sin would washing them 2 months into wearing be?

cheers!

[theartoffacts]

I was actually wondering about the new standard sizes too. I can't fit in my 29 dukes anymore. Whats a good size to get NS in? 29? 30?

[Guest adidasaj]

mine still haven't stretched much

I've a 32.5 waist, so I normally wear tag size 30

Went with 29s for my APC NS

They've definitely stretched some... at first, they fit like 28s. I mean, crazy tight. I could barely sit in them. But they fit like 29s at best so far.

I've had them for about month and a half now. Wear them a decent amount. Maybe only 2-3 weeks worth of 'regular' equivelant wear though.

Think I need to start wearing them to bed because I can't wear them much more regularly (often have on trackpants or baggy Evisu on so I can wear a pair of sorts underneeth .... I train at the gym too often to constantly change).

I really like them. Awesome length and feel. Cool subtlety. Once I get some great wear in them, I can tell they're going to be my new favorite 'skinny' jean.

Just need to get them stretched out because damn are they still tight. It actually deters me from wearing sometimes. (Come summer time, I'm sure they'll get much more wear though.)

[swooc]

have apc changed where they source the denim or changed their sizing structure recently? the new cures i bought arn't vanity sized and i'm experiencing little stretch compared to my pair of new standards i owned about 3 yrs ago.

having said that, i'm starting to think the stretch associated with APC denim is a little exagerated. most people don't really know what their true waist is and often compensate by measuring a little larger. in the end the jeans stretches maybe 1 to 1 1/2 inches and they think its stretched beyond 3 - 4 sizes too big. this was the case with me when i had my new standards.

[aleopold]

Just got my first pair of APC denim in today. A pair of Rescues with a 34 waist.

[The Jester]

Been a while since I've seen a fresh pair. Those look super stiff loll.

[kidkorea]

Pair of APC new standards in black for sale..

[xSIRCHx]

@swooc i also thought they changed something up. my ns from like 2 years ago were never as stiff or i dont even think thick as the nc that i got on sunday.

[Guest adidasaj]

yeah my APC NS are crazy stiff

and like I said, after about 3 weeks worth of wear (9 weeks old)

they've barely stretched

[Sk8b0rdE]

then they werent tight enough, if you can button all the buttons up when you first get them, they are too big

[sentakuki]

that's not necessarily true though, is it?

[spaceknight]

i have some sz 29 ns and they fit fairly good since they've stretched but my hem is a bit narrow and looks kinda awkward with most of my shoes... is it possible to have the hem widened at all?

[younghwan91]

then they werent tight enough, if you can button all the buttons up when you first get them, they are too big

That's pretty retarded advice.

Just take into account they're vanity sized and size down such that it's a snug fit to account for stretch.

[grAPEsWISHer]

When I bought my NS's I could barely button the top button, but now it fits kinda loose. I like it, but it's very similar to Levi's 514 in terms of fit. Wish I bought NC's.

[Guest adidasaj]

then they werent tight enough, if you can button all the buttons up when you first get them, they are too big

Huh? Why would I want them tigther when they're already too tight?

If they're going to stretch, they're plenty tight enough to force stretching. But they just haven't stretched much yet.

A bit... I had to squirm to get buttons on at first and I couldn't really sit in them even. Now that's OK but they're still uncomfortable tight after 3 weeks of wear (spread over about 9 weeks).

[Goldfish]

Yaa my rescues I got about 2 months ago are still very stiff. Would a cold soak to get rid of the starch throw off my fades? I'm thinking about doing that next week when I am home.

there you go
