APC denim

[emixam]

When you feel the time has come...personnally when I feel to buy a Denim, I can`t refrain my desire more than.....half a day, making me ending at the shop at the end of the day !

Hey...It's my first post so I'll keep it short. I just bought NS's 3 days ago and I am now officially addicted to raw denim. I'm thinking about adding a second pair to my collection, but I want to make sure I get some good wear on the APCs first....

So the question is: When is a good time to start rotating in a second pair of raw denim after a purchase? 2 weeks? a month?

Thanks

8 months. Or whenever you want..the more you got in your rotation the slower your wear is going to be on all of them. But I mean..once you get your first pair of decent denim you might want to get other decent denim in different fits for different looks, which slows down the wear but gives your collection more versatility. (thats the route I took). Or you can just be a grimy mofo and wear the same pair every day!

I just ordered my first pair of APCs, the only truly nice pair of raw denim I've purchased, the other "nice" jeans I've bought have been Hugo Boss black square black denim, and a pair of CM thins. Since none of the online retailers I can get a 1st time customer discount at had them in stock, and Blackbird in WA didn't have the correct size, I was forced to order directly from the APC site in France.

My question is: Has anybody here bought directly from the APC site, and if they have(And live in Canada) how much custom/duty can I expect to be charged by USPS for Global Express shipping? I only ordered one pair, but since I'm a first time customer I think they're going to be sending me a catalogue as well.

I bought directly from the APC site and I live in Canada. Alberta to be exact. Customs/duty came out to $16 to $18 CAD extra on top of the jeans + shipping. I thought they would slip in a catalogue with my order, but didn't get one when I got the jeans.

Are you in Ontario? We get hit with a nasty extra charge on clothing items. My girlfriend ordered a couple hundred dollars of stuff during their summer sale and it's something approaching 20%, iirc.

I did the size down of 3 also, it was a bit tight for the first few days but trust me, you'll want to wear a belt at one point and now (2 months in) these things are downright cozy.

If youre in the states dont worry about it. I ordered mine from the site and I dont recall the shipping being too much at all.

I live in Victoria BC and I opted for the 22$ shipping option... I really hope I don't have to pay another $20 on top of that

Also, how did you have to pay the custom? Did the post office phone you, or did it get delivered with an additional bill?

I don't want to have my jeans sit at the post office for more than is necessary, I want them nooooowwwww.

Looking to sell a pair of 26 NS. Worn three times a week for about two months. Waist is stretched to about 28.5-29. PM me if interested.

[gonegonegone]

which apcs look similar to the dior 19cms?

is there only one black raw denim model, new standard or are they sold out in the apc online store?

the cures are the closest to 19cms except you'll have a differen fit because ther different cut of jeans and alot shorter inseam

and as for the black raw I'm not 100% but i'm pretty sure its only the ns

[gonegonegone]

thanks for the fast answer.

i would really like to order the black new standards.

how are they compared to the cures or new cures or rescues.

i'm totally lost. ^^

[JonathanFrom508]

in order of how tight the jeans will be i'm pretty sure it goes

new cures

cures

ns

rescues

new cures being the tightest rescues being for the larger waisted

[jeepster]

just so everyone is clear on this - APC comes in inseam are only tagged 32 and 34. normally a 32 is ~34.5 and a 34 is ~35.5-36

THEY ARE VERY LONG INSEAMS, I'M 6'7" AND I STILL GET A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STACK W/ CUFFS.

[JonathanFrom508]

dior inseams r still longer

[gonegonegone]

can a skinny guy please post a pic wearing a pair of apc jeans.

i would really appreciate that.

[JonathanFrom508]

i'd accommodate you if i had a working camera

[gonegonegone]

just need a personal hint... i wear dior size 31... after some wearing they are a bit loose.... so probably i could wear size 30 too.

what size of apcs should i buy?

[JonathanFrom508]

do you want them to be kind of loose like your diors? if so then yeah that sounds about right

[lintmunro]

28s probably.

[gonegonegone]

thank you for your fast answers!

well, my diors are not that loose. they are 19cm mij and are tight. just around my waist, they are a bit loose. kind of hard to describe.

here are three pics:

[JonathanFrom508]

whats your actual waist measurement do u know?

[freecat]

Actually it's kinda the same for everybody, they don't remain tight for a long time. But they look good on you.

[gonegonegone]

91 cms or 35,83 inches.

[jonle714]

nice jacket

[JonathanFrom508]

wtf how are you fitting into 31's that makes no sense but yeah i'd go with a size 30 or 29 if you want em tight cause they'll prob stretch out

[gonegonegone]

well, maybe i didn't measure it correctly. i guess i'm too stupid. what's your size (apc/dior) and waist size?

[JonathanFrom508]

well i'm not a fan of nuthuggers but i don't like when i slouch my jeans that aren't made for it, also i have larger thighs from skating so i bought 1 size down from my actual waist instead of 2 they've streched out everywhere including the waist but they feel pretty good now

i have a size 27 waist

i bought size 26 apcs

they're looser than alot of peoples on sufu but when i bend my knee my jeans are still skin tight at the thigh i'm loving the fit and my balls aren't getting crushed

my jeans have streched out to a 27 waist now

[gonegonegone]

i have larger thights too (working out and so on...) so i guess i should stick with my size 31 mijs and i should try apcs first (size 30 sucked because of my thighs). my order will be a hit or miss, but i've heard that apc is pretty acommodating when it comes to change jeans that do not fit.

a silly question, how can i measure my waist correctly?

[gonegonegone]

oh yeah, and my real waist size is 84cm or 33,07 inches.

those values seem to be more realistic now.

what's the waist size of a apc size 29?
