Clench Million 96 Posted February 7, 2008 ...that's definitely the way to go...i'm normally a 34 and i have the ns in a 31... couldn't ask for a better fit... I'm also a 34 wearing a 31. Great fit, although the knees bulge a lot... and they were pretty tight until after my first wash. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdniii 2 Posted February 7, 2008 knee buldging is the only reason I am hesitant to get a pair of NC...since APC stretches more than most raw denim I would imagine this would be a problem. In my opinion knee buldging can ruin the silhoutte of a jean.... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khoiphan92 64,589 Posted February 8, 2008 Im just thinking they may help strengthen that crotch area. I really dont want to wash them. i think it will. because dirt and sweat weakens denim fabric. you should put more wear into them though dang interceptor those look kinda weird on you no offence. how much do you weigh and how tall are you? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kizind420 5 Posted February 8, 2008 So does normal szing down still apply to APC non-raw? I.E. I get a 31 APC cause I'm 33 inch waist in Raws would I do the same for "soft, medium weight denim" 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donniewhy 10 Posted February 9, 2008 Hi , The new APC thread is definitely a great Idea I wanted to ask what is it specificaly about APC denim that makes it stretch so much after a little bit of wearing in? Is this a typical characteristic of APC denim or happens with all sanfrorised rigid denim. Is this stretching/loosening of the fabric a reflection on its quality in some way, The fabric seems to be quite good quality in all other respects. Thanks 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this a typical characteristic of APC denim or happens with all sanfrorised rigid denim. Is this stretching/loosening of the fabric a reflection on its quality in some way, The fabric seems to be quite good quality in all other respects. Thanks that's the property of raw denim. most jeans if they are of a rigid, raw, or dry quality will stretch because you're wearing them none stop for X amount of time without washing them. cotton stretches naturally, so it would only make sense that if cotton goes unwashed for a long amount of time it will continuously stretch. when washed, it will shrink back because you are adding water, then letting that moisture evaporate. hope this sorta answers the question. APC's just tend to be very stretchy, guess its the way the denim was made (?). still confused about sizing the NS to NC, i mean i definetly comfortable wearing NS in 30 but wearing NC in 31 look depressed my balls.. do i need to one size up ? NC has a tighter thigh than the NS, so it will be sorta ball-crunching to begin with. mine were tight as hell when i first got them and i only sized down ~2 to a 34, and now they're considerably looser. the jeans will stretch, just give it some time and they'll start to conform to your body-type. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
