^ Looking good!

Who here has sized down 3?...

And lives to tell about it.

I'm a 29 in Nudie Super Slim Kim (which I think runs slightly small), and I went down to 25 in PS. I couldn't do up any of the buttons when I first got them (or bend my knees), but now they fit like a glove.

[The Jester]

beauts. Great job on those. If they're really that dark in person they look amazing.

[whitehorses]

I'm a little disappointed with my NS. It's my fault though, I could have sized down maybe one or two more sizes but didn't. They're just a tiny bit baggier than I would have wanted around the waist. Other than that I love them.

I did, here's the fit on mine: recently got them hemmed a couple inches but don't have pics unfortunately.

pics are from like a year ago, but they still work i guess

What are knee darts? How can the knee bulge go away by itself as the jeans get softer and more broken in? The only way is to make them shrink by either washing or soaking, which eventually will stretch out again.

Mine seemed to go away as my jeans softened up and began to fall a little better overall. Pretty sure I'm not imagining things...

^thanks for the help but looking for raw black petit standards

[swooc]

difference between the current run of new cures and cures? which ones slimmer?

[aqhong]

^ New Cures are slimmer. Cures are in between NC and NS, and are exactly like Dior 19cm.

[Guest eugen eugen]

so i sized down 4!! to get i 19cm fit on my cures! the fit even bigger in the waist then most apcs. 4 sizes down the legs are nice slim and slighlty hugging like my sz 29 diors. i took sz 27 in cures!! waist is a bitch to stretch but i works. in sz 29 they were as big as ns but just different cut

will post fit pics at the weekend!

nice cut, but you have to go down much..

[Sk8b0rdE]

yep, i normally wear 28-29 even 30 in some normal jeans, zara, h&m whatever and i went 26 with my nc's and couldnt button past 1 button, now they are the best jeans ive ever had

yea but i was talking about cures;)

How long did they take to stretch?

I normally wear a 30, and everyone said go with 28 or 27 with my APCs. I went with a 29 though since 31s fit me snug, too (and I've actually been growing a little bit there).

Anyhow, I've had the APC New Standards (29) for about 4 weeks now I think. 3-4 weeks, and I think I've worn them about 15 days or so.

They've definitely stretched... when new I could barely get the top bottom up, or sit. Now that's OK... but they're still a bit uncomfortably tight in the waist (leg fits nice though).

Should I not worry yet? Is it usually a month or multiple-month long process?

[jobesjobes]

I'd give it 2 months at least. I find that's the period of change (stretching/shrinking/whatever) and after that, well thats how they'll fit for the rest of the jeans life span.

[ThrusH]

I've been wearing my New Standards for 6 months. I ride my bike at least 5 miles everyday. Most of the pairs of APCs that I've seen have 2 tags hanging below the A.P.C., one with the size, the other saying the cut. My pair only has the size tag. The words "New Standard" are written on the same black tag that says A.P.C.. Is my pair a fake or just a much older model? My camera battery is charging as we speak and I'll try to post pics when I get the chance to help explain things better.

[keevwu]

just received my pair of new standards... but i'm gonna buy some pure blue japans so i dont need these anymore. brand new if anyone wants them before i put them on ebay. size 31

Yours is a newer model. There are at least three different tag configurations; as long as it says APC and the size on there somewhere (some aren't even labeled with the cut), you're fine.

your call, but what's more important, friends or fades?

18 months is more than plenty. i say wash em. judging from the whiskers, they'll look even better.

[natepan]

has anyone else experienced weak stitching on their APC's? I've got about a month of casual wear/zero washes on mine, and I already have 2 pretty significant rips.

inseam blue stitch rip

right pocket outer stitch rip

shoddy quality on APC's part? or the brittle nature of the jeans never touching water?
