don't do it!1

is that what you wanted

[ranonranonarat]

i wear 29 in slim jims so um would 28s be ok for NC and PS?

depends if you went TTS on your jims. I'm a true waist 31 and I got my NCs in a 27 and my jims in a 29. they stretched out pretty much for a skin tight fit for the NCs. so I would say go for the 27 for the NC.

thanks guys for help . i hot soaking them right now. its one hour right now.

[ernest]

About a year plus old but i guess there is about 6 months of actual wear?

Gonna give it another 30 days of real wear in it and then start with my diors.

Actual looks alot darker i think the flash made it too light.

zero washes, two soaks.

nice, they look like they've still got about half a year more of life left in them. i know how it feels to be excited about starting on a new pair.

on a side note, retiring my NC today. been 22 months and they're really starting to fall apart.

[grmanny]

Okay, I decided I'm gonna pull the trigger on some PS, 29, same size as my 19cm black raw Diors. Looks like APC.fr is the only place to get them right now; any last words before I do it (haha, it's as if I'm going to kill someone)?

try tobi.com. they're in california, if you're stateside that is.

those would look great after a wash, try that. bet you won't be able to put them away after doing so

wow ok after looking at yours i think i should give it more wear and just start off my new pair slowly

I did the same (also sz 29) and love the fit on both.

[CooLy_oNE]

If I want to soak my apc..should I do it inside out?

[D'eVils]

if u were doing a machine wash u could turn them inside out, but i dont think it matters with soaking. its just laying in the water.

[asher_roslynn]

Rad. any chance you could post a fit pic of them both?

[finalfire]

anyone got faded pics of black new standards? i've been searching so long...

[asher_roslynn]

don't do it!1

is that what you wanted

Hm...yes and no. i really want another pair of Diors, but I literally only have one pair, and needs to have the crotch patched up (who knows how long that will take). I figured APC's were the best raw way to go from the lower price standpoint (although some naked&famous raws sound tempting) and rad fits I've seen on here. and a new project would be great as well haha. But I haven't bought any yet.

[ernest]

i got a pair of 19cms and the fit is rather close to my apc both size 29 think i should have sized down one more for dior?

[eyeball knight]

I'm thinking about coping size 30s New Cures (actual waist is 32). I am a 33.5 waist, should I be worried about these being way too tight? The deal is great, the NCs are only 60$, so I hope I can pul these off.

[ranonranonarat]

go for it. they stretch out a lot and when i say a lot, i mean A HELL LOT.

$60 is a good deal, you could always sell em off on ebay for much more if you dont like them.

[grmanny]

did they just raise the price of all the cuts by an extra 10 dollars?

yep

nope. dior's don't stretch nearly as much as apcs

[b3ck]

let us know what happens when they dry.

they look a lil bit brighter than before soak but nothing horrible. i love them now but inseam is shorter then before soak. they dont loose more color.

[ernest]

yep

nope. dior's don't stretch nearly as much as apcs

but before dior stretch its already much bigger then apc before it stretches

Day 10 of wear

How's it looking? I'm considering a soak to get rid of some length and the sheen, but iono. any input?

good fit. get the soak over with now. i waited a month and wish i soaked at the beginning.

[spike27z]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking.

couple questions though. Hot or cold? and what change in the fit could I expect for each..

and just plain water right?

thanks

[givemefive]

i turned mine inside out and ran them in the washer on warm without soap. You might do well to hem also. but you could always roll with a cuff

I didn't put much wear into them at all. That's 1 year with the 1 initial wash and 2 other washes at 6 and 12 but I love them to death and wear them all the time. It's hard to switch over to new japanese denim just because they look so good and are so comfortable

[MothershipConnexx]

yo yo

anyone know if there are any apc retailers in istanbul?

[Guest umhaha84]

sell me 27 NC like right now.

a soak would be great

[alexryb]

good fit. it's really completely up to you if you want to do a soak.

[asher_roslynn]

Whatever happened to keeping raw jeans raw?

No hate, but I prefer keeping the length and sheen of jeans for as long as possible.
