April77


Astérix

Recommended Posts

More A77 musings after buying a large helping of their new stuff:

Bought a pair of joey hi-standards in the smallest size that they had (25). Again two sizes larger than label size.

Bought my first pairs of dictators (Prest and overdrive). As mentioned not as tight in the thighs but tighter in the waist. I think i might start buying downsized dictators now rather than joeys.

Maritini Shirt: Very very fitted, probably about 2 sizes smaller than label size.

Hubble zip up hoode: very nice, basic but nice fit with tapered arms.

I just bought the april 77 cross transistor jeans and I really like the color and the fit, but I'm wondering if these are actually raw denim? They feel really really light (they're ridiculously comfortable and soft) and they don't seem to bleed at all. So will these fade nicely?

Also do these shrink if you wash them? I sized down 2 to a 28 (which was the smallest I could find), but they still are a little big for me - especially in the waist. I may just have a tailor take in the waist though and hopefully that would fix everything.

btw I didn't see any other info in this thread about this cut so incase anybody is interested here are the BiG measurements on mine.

----------------------

April 77 - Cross Transistor sz 28

waist: 16.5 (was 16 when I first got them yesterday - they stretched this much already even though the waist is already loose)

rise: 10

back 14.5

thigh: 10.5

knee: 8

leg: 7

inseam: 33.5

this brand has seriously fallen off the sufu radar

"April 77 Market" has been "coming soon" for many, many, many months now...

i just want the old-style dischords, old patches, and everything...

This Market fiasco is ridiculous, I swear it was 'definitely going to be done by date x' like 4 or 5 times now. If it had launched earlier this year the increasing interest in the brand would have skyrocketed and it would have been a commercial coup, instead they randomly post mail outs and hardly update anything, if we actually got status reports and stuff it'd be worth the wait. At the moment im sort of just expecting a half arsed market place, with clothes priced exactly the same as elsewhere online or in shops and nothing that is genuinely that brilliant about a shop that has taken, what a Year if not more to open.

If they open up the back catalogue of collections, and are listed at prices more associated with Cheap Mondays (i'm working on the idea of higher quantities produced and purchased therefore lower costs, therefore lower end customer price charged) or similar I'd be overjoyed, this alas seems like a distant dream.

Shame, missed opportunity imho.
