How do you figure this?

its easy to test if theyre raw

get a cloth put it under hot water and rub the jeans somewhere

if dye comes out theyre most likely raw

you can tell if theyre cures by looking at the fit

pretty easy to tell considering there arent many APC models

[A Beard of Stars]

That wasn't the question I was asking,

[anthonyoj]

/\ still got the diaper ass homie, could have gone another size down easily

does it not say the model name in the black label on waistband?

also what colour is the stitching?

I just looked again and the model tag was rolled up so tight that I couldn't see it before. They are new cures. When did they make non-selvadge new cures? Do they still?

[A Beard of Stars]

When did they make selvage new cures?

[EvilC]

When did they make selvage new cures?

they didnt?

[anthonyoj]

When did they make selvage new cures?

I thought they were all selvadge like the new standard

[A Beard of Stars]

it's the same denim but I don't think they ever showed a self edge. Mine sure don't.

[ioos]

Pretty sure they're all selvedge. The NCs are just more tappered so the edge has been cut off.

[anthonyoj]

these are definitely not selvadge.

and i know they make some new cures selvadge.

heres some pics, $30 at a thrift store and in my size

apc nc tagged sz29

yup, all indigo nc like ns are selvedge, the nc just doens't show cause of the tapering. the blacks (at least the ns) are not selvedge though

[aqhong]

Just for the record, it's not the tapering that prevents them from retaining the selvedge edge (plenty of tapered jeans have it), it's the slight flare at the ankle that is fairly unique to the New Cure.

cross post from evo thread

new cures, 1 year 1 soak 1 wash

[aqhong]

NC do not have selvedge. have you even visited the website before? when you guys talk about APC's do you guys just pull these "facts" from out of the air? it's made of the same kind of denim but it just doesn't have this:

To be fair, "selvedge" refers to both a type of denim and the edge/outseam pattern characteristic to that denim. NCs are in a way selvedge, since they are made of selvedge denim, but they do not have the selvedge / self edge. It's a fairly subtle distinction that pretty much just comes down to wording, and not everyone is perfectly clear when they talk about it, hence the confusion.

[enlightened.]

theyre definitely raw. i was thinking they were cures, but im not sure.

I know you got your question cleared up, but don't cures have that pocket flap on the coin pocket, or is my head just mixed up with a different model?

NS 5 months or so, no washes no soaks.

[Episode3]

Greg, those are very nice.

Were you wearing them hard?

I've been wearing my ns on and off for the first 6 months, but for the past 6 months i've been wearing them hard...

still solid as hell haha

nice dude. all that after 5 months? you must beat those things

Yeah I've been doing lot's of outside work, helping with some construction projects etc. So they've seen some abuse.

[lucaas]

kinda confusing for me,

for APC, size down 1-2 from your TRUE SIZE, am i right?

[vonWitzleben]

It is said size down two, to get a slim look and three for a skinny look.

[Joweee]

EDIT: Finna get some PS

[tyang]

for a baggy look it looks good right now. a size down wouldn't hurt either.

[Joweee]

i'm afraid that they will stretch much more. Do you guys think that the APC store will tak em back at this point? It was only one day with like 2 hours of wear...

[H.Bosch]

They'll only stretch on the areas where there is pressure, they won't stretch on loose/baggy areas so you should be fine if that is the look you're going for!

[Joweee]

Damn, does anyone know if you can return one cut of jeans for another at the store? Or can you only size down?

[guitarinet]

im sure you can jsut as long as the tags are still on

[Putoots]

Joweee: I bought mine at the APC store (off Melrose) and they took back my NC and swapped 'em for the PS....I brought the jeans back the next day but had worn them for a couple of hours.

Just smooth out the back of the knees and stuff and it should be okay.

They did take a hard look at the jeans, though. But were really cool about it.

[campster123]

My size 32 New Cures arrived yesterday. I'm almost certain they are going to be to small, I just dont think its possible for them to stretch out enough.

Currently I can only button up the bottom button - I'm about an inch of getting the top button done up.

Is it possible that I'll be able to fit these with some stretching (I can wear them round the house, in bed, etc). If I soaked them would that get me more stretch?

Any advice would be sick.

thank you man. I dry ironed just a tad to flatten em out. Did they stretch any before you took em back?
