I think they're the wrong cut for you too as you have big thighs. If you want APC, then the Rescue would be your thing.

[volvo240thebest]

Seen your body frame I think a pair of UES 400T would fit you really well. I second MF here, that cut doens't work well for your thighs. Crotch will blow out very shortly.

Only reason i got them is because it was cheaper than a bottle of Jack Daniels. I have them up for sale so if they get sold, no sweat off my back. I wanted to try something tapered but these arent working the best.

[SuperJackle]

Yeah man get the CT, or the UES like volvo said. I've been kicking around the idea of a FH 3012 too.

They don't look that bad at you but they would be my size if you wanna get rid of them

Man the 3012 would be perfect. It totally forgot about that. I'll be at SENY soon and I'll grab one

I'd jump on it soon too. I'm not certain, but that cut isn't on Flat Head's website anymore either, so it may be discontinued or is being phased out.

hi everyone,

 

Did apc PS made in china? or ever made in china? i've got my PS made in china, but fyi i got my apc in used condition. Just curious about apc assembler, as far as i know apc are made in macau, tunisia, vietnam, or japan. Just googled apc ps made in china and zero result. i would love to if someone can enlighten this one for me.

 

Below, i attached some pic's from my apc

 

 

can someone detect that my apc is legit or fake?

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Great looking denim fabric but I also never heard about APC made in China so far!! tobydo

[Screwdriver]

Hmmmmm.....China! Maybe that is the newest manufacturer for APC. I bought my first pair, some New Standards at the Melrose store in LA a few weeks ago. I tried all the fits and went with the PS, which are made in Viet Nam...all the pairs I tried there were made there also. Now I know APC used to be made in Macau, which is China.

 

I read Jean Touitou despises the Chinese...but, maybe profit beats dislike.

I love this kind of strong fadings at most, reflecting the full power of natural denim evolution at its best

Keep them alive for ever and promise me to never ever throwing them away

Hey the APC jeans that come with factory was...do they stretch like the raw state models? Size down 2 or they hold their original measurements? 

[Wu_Tun]

read some comments about apc denim made in vietnam, I just got a jacket from hong kong it made in vietnam. someone helped me purchase it. it's material(fabric, selvage) seemed the same as my PS an NS. A little strange, the colour of the stiches are different from the on listed on APC website.

 

I live in China, and if there's any fake has made here, it's easy to find people selling them online here. Havn't found anyone selling this yet. 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

anyone has any idea about it?

The guy helped purchasing said it was from IT hong kong. 

 

Thanks!

Hi Wu

I also heard that some APC jeans are made in Vietnam or China now as well.

But I can't confirm it for sure

[Wu_Tun]

Thanks swiss_jeansfreak

 

Just got message from APC, this jacket is made in Vietnam.         

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Yeah I also heard Vietnam and China are producing for APC

[chicote]

I was under the impression that a lot of APC's stuff is made in Macau now—their jeans, for sure, possibly some of their other apparel now too.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

chicote

Most of my APC are from Macau and in awesome quality.

I think that it was one of the big APC production places

Hey guys just wanted to share my new APC jeans that I got from a thrift store for $22 CAD.  They look like the new standard stretch. I'm wondering if anyone can confirm this. I'm always paranoid when I get a deal that seems too good to be true.

APC is still quite popular I think, but it‘s probably the kind of forums like Superfuture which is outdated by Instagram and other social media

I myself havn‘t posted pics here since years as well since I don‘t have time compared to the fast Instagram.

 

[Maynard Friedman]

It’s not outdated, it’s simply a choice and as for speed, how does it take longer to take a phone photo and post it here rather than on Instagram?
 

It seems to me that people like Instagram as they can receive lots of flexing bicep and fire emojis with 3-word replies.

Fully agree Instagram is a lot about quick likes and short reactions.

I myself loved the Mynudiejeans forum a lot but I just couldn‘t follow all the many threads on all those forums so that I had to stop on them as well as on Twitter and Facebook.

I‘m just running out of time and I have the feeling, that I can‘t reach the younger people on Superfuture but perhaps I‘m wrong

[peter1]

^^Which is precisely why I like forums, even if they aren't as popular as they once were. I'm older and move slower...

Regarding APCs, I wear petit standards, true to size, as my "nice" denim. They look great under a sports coat or with an oxford shirt. The only drawback for me are slightly too short inseams, and lack of chainstitch, though you could argue that not having roping makes them more formal. I'd like to find a gently used APC denim jacket -- think there are some out there that dont have much wear at a good price...
