APC denim

[PLUSsung]

I just bought a pair of APC standard jeans in size 28 after reading this post. can't wait. i've never worn anything but Levi's and the current one i got is a 1947 501xx... thought i'd post a pic of the wear process. 2 months and counting. if the APC looks anyhthing like this i'm in heaven.

Hey Denimite. I just checked my old e-mails, the minimum was around 4-5k in yards, Kaihara that is. You should contact them direct. I don't know if they have stock or make it up for you, I didn't get into that. E-mail me if you like and I can give you all the information I have, which isnt that much really, but may help all the same? Take it easy. Ande

Hi Ande,

Please if you could send that info, my email is [email protected]. Thanx again. Have a nice weekend.

I went by this week a small shop in the east village that carries APC stuff, they do their own label as well.

the kid was quite knowledgable about APC and clothes in general. anyone with APC questions should go there. I have seen him working at the main APC store as well.

on 5th street between bowery and 2nd, look for a pink building. cant miss.

I ordered 2 pairs of jeans from A.P.C. yesterday. Unisex and Rescue. I selected 3 day shipping for 14 bucks, and when they charged everything they gave me the shipping for free, at least I thought they did for a quick minute.

I guess they tricked me. Because I just got charged. Ohhh well...

After hearing all y'all talk about APC, I decided to pick up a pair. Im impressed but the pockets aren't that deep. Can't fit shit in them.

Hehe, I just picked up multiple items from A.P.C. shop berlin + the large Surplus they have there.

P-oh-wned at you guys >:>

Thanks for the denim manu links to the guy who posted them.

you know if you stick all that shit in your pocket, your jeans are going to fade so that you can see lines where those items were.

[krayzie]

i'm thinking about getting a pair of rescues but i'm not sure what size to get

[rabbitpunch]

Anyone got pics of a nicely broken in pair?

[Geowu]

Geowu I love how wrinkled the jeans are at the bottom. How did you achieve that affect? Are they just very tight and that's why? Whenever I try to do something similar the jeans end up evening out and there arent a bunch of creases on the bottom like yours.

[Geowu]

thanks wild_whiskey! that is a compliment the jeans are 3 inches too long in the inseam. Basically I try to preserve the creases as they are... I don't fold them, I hang them. As much as I can, I let the bottom the way it is, preserving the original creases. Starch can help define them creases... spray a lot in the bottom of the jeans and put pressure on the creases while your wearing them. Ow, and I plan to get them hemmed once the wear marks are visible enough.

just curious: 1) who's had their APC's hemmed, 2) where have you had them hemmed and 3) are you happy w/the results? The dang things are just way too long, and at this point i've stopped wearing them until i figure out where to get them hemmed properly... thanks in advance...

[themdouble]

Brought my last pair up almost 3"... very simple, any alterations spot can handle it!

had mine hemmed too. just remember that they'll shrink from 1-1.5" on the first wash. tell your tailor to measure twice, cut once...and keep the original hem just in case they shrink too much and you have to let them out a little.

i trust my tailor 100%, he's always done a great job with my odd requests.

had mine hemmed in my little town of 6K people and he does a great job. He is the best hemmer yet; cotton thread and matched colors. I have had some bad work done in the past by other tailors.

I did it myself- Cut off 2.25", folded it over once (wish I folded twice), and stiched it all the way around in bright yellow thread. I like it alot, very uneven and poorly done, but they're unique and I like that I did it. I suck as sewing btw.

[Cue]

had mine hemmed at the little local dry cleaning/tailor shop - did a great job.

[woejozney]

Does the APC store always have jeans in stock? I'm just wondering because they're doing their big sale thing and I'm thinking that they'll get rid of a lot of stuff during the sale. Like will they always have NS's in 29?

[tani]

A.P.C. has always jeans in stock, but they do not sale it !

[kiz]

i had my mom hem mine...she rocks lol. perfectly done hem and according to her it wasn't very difficult. i'm going to take some photos of mine when i get a chance. i've been wearing them every day for about 1 and 1/2 months

Yea I can already see a little highlighting coming in there. That is really unique, they're going to look awesome. Keep us updated. I might give that a shot as I have some new jeans coming in a couple weeks...

[ten100switch]

if you want to get them hemmed ask the tailor if he can do "original hem" if he asks what you mean or gives you a blank stare leave the store and repeat this process until you find a tailor that knows what you're talking about. If you want them to look like they weren't altered then you need to have the original hem reattached.

[rhythmandsound]

since they're raw jeans they don't need to have the hem reattached... seems like any good tailor could do a good job of hemming jeans in a way that would like fine

[themdouble]

Exactly... Futile to go for the original hem on raw selvage!
