April77

[Bungee Man]

They must be sizing up.

[andrewisalsorad]

nice to see some more pictures, good find. hows that blazer fitting?

[junglejane]

thanks everyone for your help. i have some expenses coming my way and as soon as i get past that i will def buy some joey overdrives, still debating over if i should get the 27 or 26 though, i don't want the 26s to be like leggings... but maybe they will loosen up after a bit of wear?

[Bungee Man]

My overdrives have stretched very little if at all. If you want them to be alittle loose. I suggest getting the size 27.

[tonaf]

i think they look nice a bit loose ... kinda 19cm dior-esque low crotch effect

anyone agree with me? or u think they should be worn super tight?

[Bungee Man]

IMO, I like the April 77's tight. I think that is the way the Joey styles are supposed to fit. Just by looking at their website. When I tried sizing up in the April 77's for the more slouchy look. The waist of the April 77's got too big. I do like the Dior look alot, but I think I would get Diors to accomplish that look. Just IMO.

[tweeds]

is it that bad an idea to try a slouchier look with april77s? anyone tried it? their cut must be very unforgiving...dior is nice but just thinking about the amount of coin, it makes my wallet hurt.

[Bungee Man]

my new dischords in black.

sorry for the crappy pictures.

You can slouch your April 77's. I think this is a good example of a slouch look. Looks similar to a 19cm Dior look. I just wasn't able to do it with the April 77's I bought sized up. The legs were good, but the waist just got too big for me.

[tweeds]

haha, this sounds difficult. i think it basically means unless i ship my ass to a store and try on the pants in different sizes, i can't afford to get a pair just off the net...

[Servo2000]

I love the way they look, but elastic is so unforgiving on the figure that I'd really have to try these on first. And yeah, if I had the money, I'd go for dior.

[VDSUPREME]

Where else can can I get Costellos? I emailed scott but recieved no replies at all, Opium couldnt get them this season. Urgh.

[digital_denim]

I think Scott only has it in red or beige. No black

[VDSUPREME]

Shucks man. I seriously need it in black.

[andrewisalsorad]

Shucks man. I seriously need it in black.

dont we all

[digital_denim]

dont we all

Yes we do!

[andrewisalsorad]

i haven't had a chance to wear my high division blazer yet, not sure what so pair it up with until i get some costellos.

[digital_denim]

i'm gonna wear it with my black samurai jeans. But yeah, looking for some slim pants to go with. Also looking for sinners dischord in black.

I figure you can go casual or dressy with the jacket.

[junglejane]

i just emailed the guy at seven new york for the total. I finally decided on the joey overdrives 27's not the 26.... i'm more worried about the tightness of the legs, and as chris says if the waist is a tad big I can always wear a belt.

[digital_denim]

Anyone know what I would need in European sizing for the Costellos, if i am a 30 inch waist?

[dav]

Sounds good Scott.

[chris]

Hi!

Sorry for those that have emailed and I haven't replied. I haven't received the emails for whatever odd reason.

So here is the deal... I got some awesome crazy info everyone.

But before I get that... April 77 only made the Costello trouser this fall in Beige and Navy... sorry, no Black. The Black that everyone is talking about is a Spring 07 item.

Now the BIG NEWS!!!!

The designer for April 77 has a new pant line called HELLS BELLS. He has only done pants for now... hopefully jackets, shirts and more later... we shall see.

Why is this big news you might be asking... WELL, HELLS BELLS is going to retail for around $85. AND the fit is the Joey and the Sinner. AND it comes in a couple different denim versions and cord versions. AND....... HTC will be the only store in the US to stock the line. In fact, only a couple stores in Europe are even carrying it. There is no US distribution for HELLS BELLS... we are having it shipped in directly from the source so that we can start carrying it asap.

So... for those of you who love April 77 at Cheap Monday prices... this is it. The quality is AMAZING! I have a pair of the cords and they are killer... seriously KILLER.

So just hold a couple weeks and we, HTC, will have our HELLS BELLS shipment. I will get pics up asap.

Very cool stuff... and the tag is pretty cool... just wait. Really quality stuff.

Scott

is there going to be a leather patch on the back of each pair that says "HELLS BELLS" on it?

also, did you ever get your shipment in? if so, do you have any navy costellos left?

[colin]

so why is hells bells going to retail for so much cheaper than april77, when the joeys will be identical? must be some catch?

[Astérix]

I seem to like the April 77 stuff better than Hells Bells. Are the Hells Bells stuff made in the same place April 77 is made? Also, does anyone have a picture of the High Voltage fit, yet?

Don't forget to take pictures!

Is that patch huge or is it just me? I guess one can always remove it. Put me down for a pair of H&B size 29 in black then!

[andrewisalsorad]

We have April 77 at Blackbird in Seattle. We're sold out of pants and current just have two shirts (Gretsch and Satelite) and three jackets; Hell, High Voltage, and Massacre. I don't know if any other big shipments are expected but hopefully more will show up.

Riveted in Seattle also has black pixels, black cords, and some other cuts of jean/pants.. in fact they might still have black Costellos. They should have some outerwear and womens stuff too.

[digital_denim]

just called riveted and they only have the navy and beige in costellos.
