APC denim

[Camf]

FYI, context has just stocked up on all sizes of APC New Standards.

bought my APC NS 30s last night as a result of your post, thanks.

YANNI APC doesnt really sound like what you are looking for - quality denim in the fit that you describe would come with jap repros. If you are set on trying them on before you buy perhaps Nudie regular Ralph although quality is not as good as previously mentioned brands.

Others here are probably more educated on the fits you're after.

i fixed it for you. apc denim is way nicer than dior and fades better imo. why pay another $160+ for those scars on the ass?

because the interweb said the silohette looked better

[jufros]

talk to me about hipsters people. I had a pair of apc NS in a 29 that were really tough to button. I wore em for about 3 weeks, slept in them, had my circulation cut off, etc. they stretched some but the silouhette just didn't look good on me. size 31 slim jims are pretty much a perfect fit on me and pbj xx-005 in 31 are pretty good too. the hipster sounds like a good cut and its totally affordable through denim bar. what is the sizing like on these? anyone have pictures of them being worn? what's the leg opening measurement? thanks

I know I'm gonna get my ass chewed out for posting instead of doing 3 hours of cande-lit research on this one, but I'm at work and don't have time for that. Plus, I'm running against the clock on bidding on a pair.

Here's the question:

I know APCs stretch significantly in the waist and legs, but what does that do for length?

I'm a a tall guy and while I think the 29s would suit me better in waist, since it'll stretch out, they only have a 33.5 inseam vs. the 34.8 or whatever inseam of the 30s.

If I get the 29s, is the length going to grow as the legs loosen up?

[justinbaily21]

No, but you could theoretically stretch them legnth-wise. Don't know what that would do to the fit, though... Apparently the length can shrink a bit when they are dried, as well. If I can make a suggestion, I would say just don't do it.

[whorishconsumer]

thanks, mang.

[rome1]

I have seen people stretch out the inseam a little but, never very much.

[whorishconsumer]

yea i think if i get the 30s, i'm gonn have some baggy ass in a month or so.

[rome1]

even with the 29's you'll still probably get a baggy ass. those damn things stretch out sooooooo much. I would worry more about the overall length.

APC > dior ?

you're way ahead of yourself son.

i believe hedi's favorite jeans are apc.

[whorishconsumer]

Well, i guess its between a size 30 NS or a pair of 31x38 Iron Army's, depending whether the dudes have sold them yet.

[rome1]

The torshiro ito's?

[whorishconsumer]

[rome1]

Nicer jean, than the apc's IMO.

[whorishconsumer]

yea. possibly a bit big in the waist. but that inseam's not easy to come by. i'm just waiting to hear from the guy.

[zelah]

Nicer jean, than the apc's IMO.

based on what?

[rome1]

I just think that the small details make for a better and different jean. ie: the stitching on the pockets, the coin pocket logo, etc. Don't get me wrong I think APC makes great denim and I even own a pair, I was just saying that for my own personal taste I happen to think that the Iron Army jean was a better choice.

[kai-wun]

Someone please clarify this for me... This post is strictly regarding New Standards/New Cures.

You are suggested to SIZE 2 down for APCs in GENERAL correct? I went and tried on a pair of sz30 New Standards. Waist is WAYY too huge. Gotta wear a belt. Thighs fit, but slightly loose. Rest is pretty nice. Figuring I need a sz 28 or 29... my thighs/ass are huge compared to my waist though... so that's confusing.

I *attempt* to slip into a pair of sz30 New Cures. BIG DIFFERENCE. Can't even pull them past my thighs. sz31 New cures fit, but are ball-crunchingly tight. I was told they stretch sooo sz31 should be great on the NC for me.

However this is just a point I wanna raise. If you want to buy both NC and NS, the sizes are DIFFERENT! Maybe it's just my strange body type (big ass/thighs, small waist) but the same size NS and NC fit completely different. I'm pretty much decided on the sz31 NC but I think I'd hafta go down to sz28 for NS.

Do any of you feel the same way?

(BTW: Do DH fit similar to NC or are they sorta "in between" NC/NS?)

didn't he say he based his cut on apc's?

[aisha]

so the new standard apc is a sort of slim-but-not-too-tight jean? i've been looking everywhere for a good basic jean that i can wear in and love and these are sounding pretty good.

is apc's sizing pretty true and standard? if i were to order em online

[Camf]

I heard somewhere that you could turn the jean inside out, spray the knees with a water bottle, then iron them dry (with an ironing board so as not to ruin your honeycombs).

FYI, context has just stocked up on all sizes of APC New Standards.

A lot of people wear belts to prevent the waist from stretching out.

Get yourself a good pair of knee pads, this works great to keep the knees from buldging.

[constant struggle]

size down 2 for a normal fit, 3 for a slimmer fit

Wear them to bed or around the house if you're not comfortable wearing them in public.

[azad]

kneepads?

that's the determining factor. what stores carry apcs in new york?

[-questionmark-]
