A.P.C.

[suavyb]

new to the forum. i just got a pair of new cures (about a week ago) and i had the same problem as you thegryphon, with the bunching in the hips. what seemed to help me is pulling them as high up as they go, to their intended rise. I think what causes it is the stifness of the denim when there is some slack/bagginess in the ass of the jeans, which i think should go away as they get worn in.

also have a question: are raw jeans supposed to hurt your hips after wearing them initially. this is my first pair of skinny raws ( ive had n&f skinny guys but they werent sized down) and im not sure if i sized down too much, or if they'll stretch out and i shouldn't worry about it...

i know apc rescues don't get much love here, but should i size down 8 from my actual waist for a slimmer fit?

Someone please help me! My waist measures right around 30 inches. i just bought a pair of new standards size 29 yesterday and theyre a little too big. ive had experience with apc's before and understand that they stretch like a bitch. the pair i had before this was a size 29 petit standard that fit me good around the waist but the knee bulges were something that really bothered me. These new standards are too baggy for my like and the waist is just barely small enough and the knees are a little big so im debating whether to get a pair of 28's or a pair of 27's? I feel like the 28's would be the safe choice as i dont want them to suffocate me and the only thing that changes on the 28's is the knee is smaller but the 27's sound like a fit i would like. Would i be okay with getting a pair of 27's? On a side note if anyone wants a pair of NWOT new standards size 29 hmu. BIN 125 shipped

^I'd go with 27s. I also have a size 30 waist and had a pair of NS size 27 a couple years ago. Ended up selling them before I really got any deep wear into them, but after they stretched out the waist fit fine. Keep in mind knee bulges are inevitable no matter how much you size down, especially with APCs. Rule of thumb seems to be: "put up with somewhat uncomfortable APCs in the beginning", as they yield better fits after the 6 month/first wash period.

@hobbes874 thanks man. now i just gotta sell these!!! NWOT size 29 new standard $125 shipped!!!!

1 yr. around just 5+ washes and 1 or 2 soaks i forget. my friend instagram'd me so i think it didn't bring out the denim quality

[TwelveAM]

First up are APC NS (Roughly about 1.5 years - with first wash at 8mo. and occasional washes after)

Next up is a pair of APC Hispter's that were cut up as biking shorts. (Roughly 1.5 years with occasional washes after 8mo.)

[jws]

My NS about 3 years old pretty casual wear too many washes to remember

really dope!

[b3ck]

btw. why some denim fade to brown and some straight to white? dont kill me for this stupid question but my old apc's faded to white and i dont like how they looks like now.

Ah, I don't often see that many other people with the hipsters here and you cut yours. Curious as to why you did that -- got fed up with the flare?

Exactly, haha. I was trying to make it work with the flare, but it just wasn't doing it for me. I ended up with the NS pair above and decided to cut the Hipsters.

My pair of petites...

Comparison of my 26 PS to my 28 NS:

I know most here will disagree with me, but I like the TTS NS a lot more then the PS. Skinny guys like me can't pull off super tight jeans like the PS. Plus, the leg opening on the PS was really small, to the point of I couldn't get them off.

[shoreman]

There's no debate; second pic is 100% better.

So, can I get by rocking some NSs in the middle of a Canadian winter? Or should I look to up the uzi?

APC Petit Standard

Edited December 9, 2011 by meroswarrior

[ludradn]

sick fit man but for everyone, its petit standard, because standard is masculin.

[computurd]

@taukappaepsilon

I still think the PS look great on you, and what do you mean skinny guys cant pull of skinny jeans, Skinny jeans ARE for skinny people.

Its a lot better than people wearing skinny jeans in size 36+

NS look fine though, Probably wouldve been greater in a size 26 too.

[illness]

What size should I go with for Petit's if I'm a 30 for Flatheads?

[MrFahrenheit]

@meroswarrior

great fit dude, how old are they? and what size?

can you please measure them BlueInGreen style for me?

http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?Itemid=41&id=30&option=com_content&task=view

i only need the waist, thigh, knee, and leg opening measurements

[GregoryH]

it'd be nice to be able to browse this thread without reading "so I'm a true waist 36 but I want a slim fit should I buy a size 27 even though they will most likely cause life threatening blood clots in my suffocating thighs...these stretch out like a ton right?"

[shoreman]

Seriously. Size down one or two and let that be the fucking end of it. Nice fit, Mero.

[Iridescent]

I am confused. Are the measurements on contextclothing before or after they stretch?

[footfeet]

^this has been answered many times. those measurements are brand new, just size down 1, 2 sizes from your usual waist depending on how slim you want them to fit.

[Ignaurus]

Rescues. Owned for 3+ years. No idea on time of actual wear or # of washes. Not the best pictures, buuuut...

Those unsightly home repairs that you may have spotted were done in a pinch to get another month or so out of these earlier this year. These are retired now, but I'd like to have them repaired/reinforced professionally so I can wear them in the future when I put some weight back on. Wearing such stretchy denim during my heavy drinking college years means these are pretty huge on me now.

my apc around 2 weeks

[SSresident]

New to this forum but here are my NS 11 months. Recently soaked but haven't taken pics yet. Here they are before the soak:

I'll upload post soak pics tomorrow,

[Satrya]

I could really use some help about sizing

I have tried petit standard size 31 the other day it fits so good

My current jeans is SExIHxINDO size 31

do I have to pick size 30 or stay with 31? I heard it'll stretch a lot

[footfeet]

^if you like the way they fit, measure your sexihxindo across the waist like this:

http://blueingreenso...w&id=30&Itemid=

Multiply this measurement by 2 to get the waist measurement.

then buy the size that measures an inch less than what you measure:
