APC denim

[dammalex]

How long have you worn that for?

[enojy]

still 30 procent off at blackbird?

yes, just the jeans though

[scoon0224]

I thought it was determined that the yellow water is from the indigo?

It's starch.

The indigo on the jeans is oxidized (it is yellow before dying, oxidizes on the yarn to become blue afaik), and will not magically de-oxidize and turn yellow again.

if the indigo is coming off during a soak, it will make the water blueish, but with all the starch in the water (making it yellow) you likely won't notice that until the tub drains and there may be a blue ring.

no i can button them and the thighs fit good now but the waist is still really tight!! i sized down 3! ive talked to people 20lbs more than me wearing my size so i don't get it?

should i put them on and sit in a tub of hot water?

id say run around in them or ride a bike..riding around a bike stretched them out really good for me..

[sleepykid]

[JohnnyRed]

they feel good. makes me wonder what they'd feel like now if i hadn't soaked them. hrm...

I had to soak mine pretty early on, friend spilled a beer on my lap about 2 weeks in. It lost the sheen and some of the starch, but I'm really happy with how they fit, fade, and wear. I wouldn't sweat it. I'd love to start fresh someday, but in the meantime the soak(s) really helped break these in and soften up a bit.

more or less 4 days

Can anyone confirm for me that the NY APC store carries new cures in stretch indigo? I was told this in another thread. I thought only black was available lin stretch. anyone have any expeiences with APC stretch denim?

[DJ2xTech]

looking to get some feedback on the whole look of it.

the knee buldges look weird

should I get them hemmed? though I like there to be stacking, i feel like theres something wrong, I don't know what.

I got a 29 but now it stretched out to be like a 34 (my waist now).

Maybe I should have gotten a 28.

[Pandemonium]

the bulge sure looks big...

i think when it softens, it should look as per normal.

[totally epic]

APC jeans take really well to starching. I starch the fuck out of them. Once I'm done...they're so hard you can hit them over someone's head and cause serious injury.

[justinbaily21]

Dont listent to him. They come starched enough. You could hem them a little if the length bothers you. The knee bulge is normal, and will abate in time.

[bonanz]

It's starch.

you are right

[kenthenoob]

how long is that wear, sleepykid?

[sleepykid]

its been on n off for about five or six months...maybe 1-2 times a week..if u add it all up its not really that much..

[eecc]

A week into my pair of NCs.

Just repeating what everyone said here, but I sized down 2 and was barely able to button it up all the way. Now they fit pretty slim like what i hoped for. And the front pockets are pretty much unusable since they are so small.....

Are those new standards?

i actually put my cell phone in the front pockets. the fade is coming along nicely.

[kenthenoob]

that's a lot of stacking, DJ2xTech. how tall are you?

[kenthenoob]

[DJ2xTech]

Yes

that's a lot of stacking, DJ2xTech. how tall are you?

I'm about 5' 7''

My true waist is about a 33, I sized down to 29. I think I could have fit a 28.

[ag229487]

Does anyone have a pair of the vintage washed New Standards and have pics of them wearing them- I need a pair of lighter jeans. How do they fit compares to the raws?

[chronoaug]

my new cures with about 5 or six months with no wash..i wear them about every other week now...and honestly they dont smell cause they air out pretty good..

Nice fit on those. How much did you size down?

[dammalex]

APC NS 26x32

my 1 month +

[RaymondChiu]

thats crazy that you have a 26 and they still look a little loose

how tight were they to begin with?

Tight enought that it was a struggle to put on buttons. I'm 28-29. They feel comforatble now and still continue to stretch little by little.

[hoodsuburbia]

Yes

My true waist is about a 33, I sized down to 29. I think I could have fit a 28.

thanks you just helped me with my sizing i was gunna buy my true waist size so i think im gunna get a 29 too cuz im like a 33 34

[kai-wun]

Darn! Now I"m worried looking at all those stretches. I'm a 31-32 true waist (generally wear sz30, but if I eat a lot, my waist can expand to 32) and I bought a 29 for safety. Tried it on at a store and it was comfortably tight. Now I see you guys having major stretched jeans *scared* (especially dammalex's 26 that's almost baggy).

[axtsang]

Nah, youl'll be fine. Mine waist size is always steady at 31 and sz28 in New Standards stretch fine into the perfect fit.

[ardeetee]

26x32? I'm guessing you got them hemmed to be that inseam?
