dont hem. good fit.

for ncs i wolud go down 2 from true waist but dont buy in same size as ns. i wear 29 ns and 30 ncs they are skinny

[always_hungry]

from what i know about new cures which aint much, dont size down more than two for the fit they way they are made.

or just do up all the buttons tight at first.

if you want em super skinny then size down three, and be prepared for uncomfort or buy some skinnier cut jeans

[Pleurazn]

alright thanks guys.

Still had that one question though.

Since my true waist is 28.5 does sizing down to a 25 tagged mean only 1.5 sizes down since 25 tagged is a truly 27 to begin with?

What are you guys going by I've seen mixed answers about this.

[ninetynine]

Anybody own a pair of OD black New Cures? Can I see some fits?

[mrjfang]

I believe its by tagged size

[slimjim4ever]

Forget the true waist measurement vs. waist on the jean measurement thing. Jeans aren't meant to be worn @ your actual waist. If you're gonna measure yourself, then measure around your upper hip area where you're gonna be wearing your jeans & then compare that measurement w/ the waist measurement on the jean you're gonna buy.

My actual waist is 27, 35 hips , & 30 upper hip (bout 3-4" below my belly button). I went w/ 27 APC's (BTW, they measure bout 30 across waistline) & they fit me perfectly!

If your true waist is 28.5, you should buy a tagged size 26 or 27 (since your true waist is at a decimal).

My true waist is 30 and I bought tagged sz 28, and it's the perfect fit on me.

Sizing down to 25 tagged means you sized down 3.5... I'm surprised they're not skin-tight! They actually look pretty well-fitted on you!

Wow 3.5 pretty intense. The waist still hasn't stretched very much and there is literally 1 inch between my jeans and belly button.

I have read all like 600 pages of this thread almost twice now.. and I find it fucked that people who are like 5.9 still find sz 25 new standards too loose.

I am the slimmest guy out of all my friends, shortest, and these 25's are tight!

I think I could possibly go into a 24... I might have to order those in the new year lol.

I am going to pick up some new cures in 25 after xmas too.

I hear yah man. I think this might be the first pair of jeans that I've bought that actually fit me.

I've gone size 29 nudie RR, Size 28 Nudie RR, size 29 Acne MIC and all have just been baggy as fuck in the end.

I think the next time I will buy size 25 nudie RR. and size 26 mic.

[kkurenaii]

i might not have been updated or done enuff research.

but is the apc ps for blck raw been discontinued? i was really hoping for a no for an answer though.

[lmaozedong]

im pretty sure black raws are seasonal. i.e. sometimes they have them and sometimes they dont.

hey guys so im new to this forum and i bought my apcs used a while ago and never really compared mine to the ones in the shop. so my friend bought a brand new pair of new standards and we met today and i was really curious why mine were so much darker and doesnt have the rigid selvege feel to it. here is a poor picture

its a pair of NEW CURES and the owner said he didnt wash it but when i fliped the inside tag it was a bit stained like brownish so im guessing he did wash it. i hardly wear these so i dont even have fades yet

[dai]

I'm thinking of washing my APC's today. I vaguely remember someone mentioning that you should only use top-loading washers because front-loading washers will give the jeans weird creases? Is this true or did I just misread what that person wrote?

My plan is to wash the jeans inside-out. My machine has a "no spin cycle" option, which I'm guessing is the equivalent of taking the jeans out during spin cycle. I'm just going to use regular tide detergent. As for drying, I'm not sure whether I should hang dry or machine dry, but I'm leaning towards machine dry right now. So is there anything wrong with what I'm about to do?

Thanks.

Seriously? You're comparing a new pair to a used pair. That's why they're different.

[Pleurazn]

8 wears and my sz 25 new standards have stretched to a size 30 waist.

[computurd]

Would engineer type boots fit under NSs?

WHat sort of boots would be recommended for NSs

[hiimdave]

Seriously? You're comparing a new pair to a used pair. That's why they're different.

yeah but shouldnt my pair become more lighter after the wash not darker instead?

[Guest theazn48]

i bought size 25 new standards about 1.5 months ago. i sized down 3 and my 28 slim jims are really loose on me, but the ns havent really stretched out in the waist too much. they still feel a bit tight. what should i do?

[Redstar*]

Wear them more.

[Guest theazn48]

ive been wearing them everyda

[Redstar*]

Keep wearing them. I've got some NCs that were pretty tight on me but are now very comfortable. I only sized down one size though. I tried on my roommate's NSs though (he has two pairs; one is 28 and one is 29) and they were a little big on me. Definitely more roomy for my junk.

Just wear them often and you will find that the denim will stretch. Eventually they'll be real comfy.

[ernest]

wear more talk less have patience

[drummy]

Okay. Remember the "huge" New Standards I got? I sized down 1-ish to a size 31. Now I wear them on weekends. Bought these yesterday, Petit Standards, sized down 2-ish (more like 1.5 with my current waist size) to a size 30 (they didn't have a 29 for me to try). Don't want a super skinny fit or anything, just a fitted fit (I was able to button the top button when I tried them on, but it hurt). Fit is pretty tight everywhere, but I must say I like them more than the New Standards I got. So here we go. Day 1 of actually wearing them.

[mrjfang]

very nice for a fitted fit

[Satya]

nice fit drummy!

[Dchill]

not bad not bad at all.

[turbo95eg6]

Another crappy fit. Should have sized down on NS if you were going for a loose fit, not the tapered PS.

[raspberries]

^ lol? he said he wanted a fitted fit, didn't see anything about loose
