April77

Recommended Posts

sizing advice? Blackbird says they run two sizes large, and I'm about a 34.5 now, so would I get a 33 for a slim yet not-painted-on look?

Anyone have measurements/experience with Dictators?

hey hi oh oh oh hi he ho he oh ha

Presuming they're the same fit and sizing as the Dictator Transistors then I'd say size down one, or go true to size if you want 'em a loser fit. I stupidly sized up one, because they didn't have my size and I thought they were going to be much snugger. I'd say they are about two sizes two big after stretching (a little bit). :(

if anyone go to France one day, there is a store in the west side, in Nantes, called Wild Horse.

Awesome store, I live in Nantes, and I know the owner, they have every april jeans, in every size, every jackets, like distortion kennedy, for men/women.

If you go to France, and particulary in Nantes, go to wild horse!

For those who are interested, Revolve fixed their April 77 prices back to what they should be. It was a bit too low before, then 2x too high. Now it's back where it belongs (the costellos are about $170 i think). With the discount it's a solid buy i'd say.

Jmatsu- How did those coated ones work out for you? You went with 46 right (because new sizing is way bigger)?

i still have alittle room, but i think they are okay cause i never compared 44s. anyway since the opening aint skinny i r have to hem them shits, but i guess thats how you would wanna wear them anyway cause they dressy like.

will post fit pic via pm just for you when i r feel like. thanx.

Just got a pair of raw sinner transistors delivered to me today. Must say I am a bit dissapointed in them after trying them on. On the blackbird site it states they were a slim straight leg however this is misleading as they are pretty well tappered more so then petit standards. or apc cures. For those who maybe wondering about the sizing they do fit true to size as i purchased the 28 waist and it fit my 28 waist fine. Off to supermarket they go.

Can anyone provide me with measurements for a77 Dictator Heart Attacks? Looking for measurements of 32, 33, and 34, respectively.

Thanks

If it helps at all, a pair of 30's I picked up had a waist measuring approx 34 inches. Material is nice, but they fit big and the cut is a bit loose in the upper leg.

Yeah keep the 27, from the pics they only look a little tighter, which will probably stretch out after a while.

The wait for the A77 market is killing me, I really want some tops/jackets in XS.

they don't 'stretch out' like raw regular denim... the denim relaxes and softens but it doesnt go up a size or anything. i'd say go with the 28's they look better around your crotch i guess

Why does the top of the fly on every pair to that folding out thing? Mine did that too, even the sizes I tried on that were too big.

Emailed Royal Cheese, and they said they'd be coming through with some more sizes in February.

Anyone have size 26 black Munich's they'd want to part with? :D

I can get you Colordrive Neon in a 33. IMO they would look better than Thunder esp on a size 33 dude.:P

nice are the colordrives purple as well? the thunders are cool because they are that nice stretchy and shiny gabardine. haha I know. I am skinny and tall. it is funny because it is difficult to find skinny jeans in 33 or 34 but my go to jeans are my black thunder jeans.

Yes the colordrive is purple as well as stretchy but they are not as shiny.
