APC denim

[KYinC]

It's always nice to see this thread still going white hot. Anyways, I am going to nag again for PICTURES, more updated pictures!!!!! I KNOW there has to be so many good pics of jeans being broken in since it seems that everyone on this forum owns a pair by now.

Sorry about the cr@p pics but only had my phone handy. Missed the bottom of the jeans off. Wasn't going to post them but I guess until people post some better ones it will give you an idea. These are the English. I'm normally a size 34 but these are a 32. The fit is good. I'm happy anyway. The pics where taken when I tried them on for the first time. They have losened a bit since.

PS No sh!t about the belly please!

Nice jeans, but I thought the Anglaise were a full cut. Those look more like a normal cut.

[themdouble]

Those are DEF NOT English. WAY to high a rise! I don't even think those are Rescues?

Neither gives you a weggie butt like that! Unless I'm just built totally different?

I don't think those look like the English cut either. GuyH do you have a tag inside of the jeans indicating which cut they are? I ordered English jeans off of the APC website and received jeans that don't have the tag indicating the cut on the inside. My jeans seem like they are too slim to be English cut. I wonder if APC is shipping out jeans that aren't the right cut?

[rhythmandsound]

those could be english, and maybe that's what happens when you wear a lowish-rise jean at your normal waist instead of at your hips...

don't think those are rescue's (which are higher rise than the english but are more anti-fit in the seat)

[themdouble]

I think the English & Rescue seats are the same (just dif rises)... Those are NO WAY English!

Im a long time APC guy with 2 pair Rescues & 2 pair English. Tags are in all 4. Sizing is consistent throughout (all 4 pair are 34 waist & I typically wear 36). Never a problem ever with APC!

[Guest Guy H]

Dudes, they are certainly the English cut. I'd just put them on and probably pulled them too high just to feel the fit. They where slightly tight to start with. I'll borrow a decent camera and take some more pics as those are sh1t as I said.

[themdouble]

Well I guess your photo's are deceiving?

My English 34's measure 11 1/2" botom crotch seam to top of waist button & my Rescue 34's measure a little closer to 12" while the top of my back pockets to the top of the waistline is 5" on my English's & 5 1/2" on my Rescue's..

All while fitting with much more room (both cuts).

It just seems like if those are anything, they're Rescues?

There... This is my last APC post. I can't take it anymore....

Rescues at 2 1/2 weeks:

"Today's peacock tomorrow's feather duster. "

[kiz]

holy shit those look awesome!!! i'll post some pics of mine when i get a chance.

one thing about my APC's: they are by far the best jeans i've ever owned. they have everything i look for in a jean (low rise, perfect cut, button fly, selvedge). At first I was mad because i couldnt get the anglais, but with the stretching from my rescues, they now fit perfectly and i wouldn't change a thing. go APC!!!

i have a pair of 32" waist indigo (english i think??) for sale:

they have been hemmed to a 30" leg. the ebay seller decided to leave that out of the item description, which was nice of him.

im not looking for much for them. pm me if interested

[themdouble]

Yeah youre fuckin' those up diem! Nice work....

Youre hard as hell on denim dude. I've had Rescues & English's for a long while now (never washed any of them) & my shit isn't near that crazy...

-Dub

[deim23]

Like kiz was saying I love the Rescue cut as well and would like to own a pair of the Womens Jeans and a Unisex perhaps (those are different cuts right?). And I would size down again due to the significant stretching. I have been using them every day so far but I don't think they look more worn than Geowu's pair at 2 weeks

I like how the wallet, comb and can (beef jerky) wear marks are comming. They should be really contrasting after the "transformation" wash. I have it in mind to give them 12 months. Any thoughts???

[ChadR]

That's dedication- I don't know if mine are going to make it to the end of this week without washing them, and mine aren't nearly as worn as yours. I am just too impatient.

[darknworn]

deim, the comb is hardcore man! looks good.

think i'll have to spring for a pair of rescue this weekend, i already have a pair of standard and new standard...hmm...this obsession w/ APC is becoming unhealthy..

[pinotenvy]

deim, my new standards seem to have stretched out quite a bit in the waist, you notice the same? i should have sized down!

Yes, I was expecting a stretch, and I did size down to a 31 from my normal 33 to 34 waist. It's all a matter of personal taste tho - if you like a tight, slim or looser fit.

I rock a pair of English & a pair of Rescue regularly (English for well over a year & Rescue since late 04) & I've NEVER washed either of them. Actually a couple months ago I bought back-ups of both because this site was making me nervous but I don't imagine I'll break into either of those for another 5 years or so?

I wore another pair of APC (not sure of the style? very similar to the Rescue...) from like '98 to '03 & only dry cleaned them a few times a year...

DON'T WASH! Hold out & bust the Febreeze...

[rhythmandsound]

them, have you hemmed yours? the english has a large enough leg opening that even when cuffed a little they sometimes scuff the ground the littlest bit when wearing shoes...having a frayed cuff would be seriously wack. i don't think this would be a problem w/the rescues. anyway, just curious.

[sbbbjm]

deim has a cute butt haha

seriously, though -- the creases at the bottom and the back of the knees are probably my fave part.

[jake431]

I'm dying for a pair of Rescues after those pics...Need money quick!

[deim23]

Hey, nice LED! is that a Pulsar? Those are worth big bucks these days. I actueally threw one out like 5 years ago! OUCH!

Carpe Denim!

[deim23]

Thanks Serge! .. naw its not Pulsar but Compuchron - See "Coolest Watch" thread...

Yeah.. I watch Pulsar Date Commaders ebay for 3, 4, 5, hundred all day long.. they are sweet looking and the grand royale for LED collectors. I might get one some day.. but I really like the more angular lines of my CC.

Hey diem,

Those look great. I'm looking to have a friend pick up a pair of Rescues for me next week in NYC. I'm a 31-32 in normal jeans, I'm thinking going 29. Would you have gone down another size if you had the chance? They do seem slightly tight in the crotch area, how do they feel after 2 1/2 weeks.

Thanks!

D

[deim23]

Yes, I would have gone down a size for aprox 3 inches down from my usual diesel size. Yeah my rescues are a little tight in the cratch, somtimes more than others if you catch my drift.

[magicclean]

i'm rather confused, isnt raw denim suppose to shrink? but why it seems that apc is expanding? can someone explain? Are there any denim thats of similar cut to Dior Homme's?

Deim23, your pair looks amazing. i dont think i can ever wear out a pair as fast as you guys.

[Serge d Nimes]

All of these questions have been answered numerous times. Use the search function. Raw sanforized jeans only have shrinkage of ~3%.

Carpe Denim!

[velvetant]

its shrinks if you wash them yes

im not too sure if the Dior Homme question has been answered-and im wanting to know also......
