Yes that's Matthew Fox. How many did you size down?That;s the fit I want. My waist is a true 31.5 and my thighs are 22. Want them slim but not skinny.

thanks

[xchen]

We're about the same size and I wear a size 29 in APC for a nice, slim fit. I'm 5'11" and I have about as much stacking on mine as MF does in that pic, but if you're shorter than that you might consider getting them hemmed.

[vicesman]

thanks for the quick reply... I'm 6' so I'll get 29 as well.

[keedvin]

6 months.

[just13]

6 months.

R those NS or NC ?

[keedvin]

^They're actually PS.

[ke1]

TTS? Looks great.

edit: nm, read that you sized down 2. Surprising to hear, but that's a very nice relaxed fit, especially with the cuffs.

[keedvin]

^Yeah I was surprised when I first got them, they were some what loose.

Those fit just like my petite standards

I'm about to pick up my first pair of selvedge denim. For the sake of not combing through 800+ pages of posts, which APC cut would you guys consider most similar to Levi's 514?

I don't suppose anyone knows a retailer in northeast Ohio that carries APC's or knows of somewhere online where I could look up local distributors?

This probably isn't the right thread to ask in, but can anyone suggest other denim around the same price point as APC that are worth looking into? Thanks in advance.

Definitely go with rescues for a looser straight cut. What size are you?

Im 6' x 230 and wear a 36" waist in 514's which are what I typically wear and prefer the fit of. 514's are levis' slim straights, so wouldnt rescues be the apc equivelent to levi 501's? I have an athletic build that definitely isn't flattering in anything too form fitting below the knee. If anyone's familiar with levi fits, would you equate 514's to new standards as you would new cures to 511's?

dude seriously go with rescues. The new standard has a slight taper from the knee to the leg opening, while the 514 is straight. So for an athletically built 230-pound guy they might not be the best cut.

The rescue is designed as a straight cut for guys with bigger legs, the new standard is designed as a slightly tapered cut for guys with slim to average legs. Judging by your description of your size, get the rescues, in a 34 to be safe, or 33 if you want them a bit slimmer.

Check the measurements on contextclothing.com if you're unsure.

And i dunno if you want to necessarily equate new cures to 511's either.

[jake*]

yeah i hear you, it sounds like rescues are worth checking out. i appreciate the input my friend.

[ke1]

I have a feeling you should post a pic of you in your 514's for reference of what you'd like the fit to resemble.

[Liam123]

I'm selling a my PS size 29, really great condition and never washed/soaked. 3 weeks wear. Price 110 usd but can go lower if its a fast deal

Pics are up in supermarket. Sorry for advertising :S

[jeff3189]

I sized down 3 on my Rescues (31 from 34), could have sized down 4 of really necessary.

Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it

[jeff3189]

I'm a 38 w and I'm in a 35w pair of rescues. Depending on your preference for fit ( I wanted a nice straight leg that wasn't a ball buster) they are great. They have stretched out a bit everywhere, but it's a good stretch. They fit alot like Nudie straight Svens or Levis 501's. I really like them. IMO you can't go wrong with 35 w if your a true 38w.

Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it, I wanted a pair of Apc jeans for the longest just was a lil nervous about the sizing

[xcrskim]

Here we have my NS 7 months. I've retired them a couple months back....

...And started on these NC. This picture was taken at about 3 months. I'm on month 6 now, no washes on these bad boys yet.

SIDEBAR: Does anyone know how to get a hint of brown tint on the fades rather then the hint of white? Is this achieved through harder wear or a special washing method?

Cheers!

[saintkeat]

Abit over a year.

Funny, usually a lot of individuals want to opt to white fades rather than gross dirty brown/green fades- I'll trade you fades

I think the process is similar to what sweat does to armpits of white undershirts and why white pillows turn yellow after time. That yellow + indigo leads to a brown tinge. Someone let me know if I'm wrong.

yeah I'm pretty sure its just sweat/dirt/grime lol. If you want your fades to turn brown just roll around in more filth haha

paypal ready...

[ilyace]

^ Those are awesome, exactly how I want mine to turn out. How long have you been wearing them, how often, washes, etc?

[Imco0l]

9 months of total wear. I've started wearing them 6-7 days a week starting from 5 months around. Only 2 soaks on the crotch area to lessen chance of blowout. No washes.

[Liam123]

"Only 2 soaks on the crotch area to lessen chance of blowout."

Can you explain that?

[halomunkey]

^ the more you wash/soak it the less bacteria and the stronger the threads stay which means less blowouts.
