A.P.C.

I got a 27 New Cure and after stretching was done they are still too tight. I like a slim fight but its a bit restricting. Would a 27 New Standards do me good or should I go with 26?

[jimmyc]

i'm not sure about it, i don't love it, i don't hate it at all...

i don't know if it goes with your overall style much though...

it does look like a good rain jacket for heavy rain though, which is something nice to have...

what is the material like?

I do like the overall shape and design of the jacket though

The Material is a light 100% cotton but super waxy. Looks like some white Dior waxed denim jeans I saw a few months ago. I was a little shocked by it when I opened the box

because I was expecting something different. The picture of the Parka on the APC site

doesn't look this waxy (see below)

what are these khakis?

Purchased a pair of "Original Standard" APCs ( says ORIGINAL STANDARD on the label below APC) from the APC store yesterday. Whats the difference between the NS. Did not see these on the site.

My new cures say original cure, there's no difference.

yes there is...

cure and new cure are different cuts

[superdork]

So whats the difference between new and original standards and cures? And why do they still sell the originals?

My new cures say original cure, there's no difference.

Hmmm... Petit Standard in black...

Should I size down 2 to a 30?

Edit: Also, Jimmy, what size parka did you get?

[kauflust]

jimmy, i think you should return the jacket. it looks too pearly.

the fit on the ps is great though.

[jimmyc]

"Pearly" is a great way to describe what it looks like.

Yeah, I might. I really thought it was going to be a dull off white from the pic on the APC site.

sorry, sorry, my b

whats your actual measured waist size

[BubbleTeaJelly]

how do you guys measure your waist? above/below/ontop of belly button? around the hip bone?

[mkei]

if you're measuring to buy jeans, measure where you want the jeans to sit ..

as for 'real' waist measurements, it should be half way between the bottom of your ribs and the top of your hips.

i only sized down one on the blacks because they fit a bit slimmer than the indigo's IMO.

[Zesty]

New Standards size 27, sized down 2

I'm about 140lbs and 5'8''

[midnight]

I actually really like the fit of those ns's. If they haven't stretched yet they will probably end up pretty baggy, but whatever. Interesting to see a new type of fit.

[jimmyc]

Jimmy, what size parka did you get?

It's a Large.

[rogerw]

Wow, this is so nice.. like 1-2 days from apc to Sweden, then SEVEN days from the terminal to me Sweden really suck...

Will knee bulge affect how the knee area fades? I have some decent bulge since I bought my apcs (it's almost been a month since I bought them). I read in the OP that you can soak them to get them to shrink a bit, but I really want to hold off as long as possible before soaking.

thanks.

Hold off 10char

[rockon99]

Andrew they'll look dope either way just wear them.

[jimmyc]

[Vs Toto]

[oww]

[jimmyc]

Info on this please jimmy.

I guess it's OK to post this here. If anyone asks you didn't hear it from me.

I get these twice a year and I don't want to do anything to fuck that up.

[rockon99]

so does that not apply to people that dont buy apc often? or is it for everyone that happenes to buy apc during the sale period. i wouldnt want to ruin it for people

[rockon99]

also.. the apc Room Sprays..... has anyone had any experience? there are no smell characteristics listed on the site.

[jonle714]

i got email. i only bought from them twice.
