APC NS Size 29 (normal waist: 32)

6 Months Wear

[gonegonegone]

the overall fit of my new cures is perfect but the waist got a bit loose (i can wear them without a belt) within 1 day of wearign them. will the waist stretch out a lot if it is NOT under a lot of pressure?? :confused:

[viet]

anyone know the length of the pre-order time on the black ns?

[TonyxTony]

planning to get a NS what size should i get?

i wear:

levis 501, 32"

uniqlo s-001, 32"

uniqlo t-000, 32" and 31"

H&M slim, 32"

actual size around 31"

what should i get for NS? ta

[z_ace]

I'd say 29 should be good

[TonyxTony]

[z_ace]

hm ya perhaps should check out that one :] thanks

I know ns stretch a lot around the waist but what about the seat? I picked up a pair of 29s and the fit is great, but I like my jeans slouchy and the ass of the jeans isn't quite baggy enough for my tastes.

Im only at 4.5 months on my hipsters and I just got a small hole in the crotch from bowling! They arent ready for a wash yet but from what I read washing helps to strengthen the denim. The crotch area is really weak and soft and was wondering if a wash would ruin my progress thus far.

seems like you like to wear a bit baggy for the Levi's 501?

cuz the uniqlo ones are low rise and you wear 31"

I say 29 for NS

[TonyxTony]

the 501 was a gift it fit quiet baggy(i dont really like it)

i would like to have a fit size(not to tight/loose)

from replies, im guessing size 29,28

thanks for answering my questions, trying to get a pair online and i cant try it on local....

Australia is bad for jeans

hear ye,

if you haven't already heard all the reports. there is now an APC surplus store in williamsburg, bklyn with past seasons and other crap going for at least 60% off. tis the second APC surplus store to open. Also serves another place to get your denim. However, denim is not marked down. PM for more details/location, or just google it.

tweedles lock this thread

im with jeep on this

Little help...

Been wearing my Cures for about 2 months now and not seeing as much contrast as I'd like. Reading this thread people seem to give them a soak before they start wearing them, heard it kind of unlocks the indigo. So I'm wondering with 2 months in what kind of a soak would I be going for, and would that completely remove the stifness? Thanks

Throw it on the toilet and flush twice. Create a new one, sticked, closed, with the damn FAQ copied ... 10 times in big font and in everycolor, and a simplified version for retard, in every language.

just for the record...........black NS doesnt stretch much

[blueblur]

and the black NS is not selvage unlike the indigo ones

I think i am about the same size as you

cuz i wear 31 for T-000

I wear 28 NS and it was tight at first, took me 30mins of wearing it at home before I can fully button everything up. after 6 months of wear it has stretch to wrap around my waist not too tight

Anyone else have any ridiculous problems with their crotch blowing out? I've only had my NCs less than two months and there's a spot that's showing significant signs of wear, and is wearing thin already. A hole is not too far off. This sucks. Are there any preventive measures I can take, or should I just let it blow out and then get it tailored? I've never seen a repair job that's looked decent to me, even ones that are often well recieved on this site...

[freecat]

Preventive measure: stop wearing it

Common sense measure: wear it, let it blow if it ever does, then repair, and continue to wear it

Advice: you shouldn't care about how it looks or how ppl on sufu will tell about it. Crotch blowing is a consequence of your thighs and other things, it's not your fault. Nobody will blame you about it.

[TonyxTony]

its a good thing, you get more freash air down there

[blueblur]

washing/soaking them DO straighten up the denim

[constant struggle]

my new cures are currently at the tailor, he is doing them for free, and by hand...

fix pics later

[Scaught]

I did a hot soak, since I wore them without soaking for the first two months, and they've shrunken back to their original size and the weak spot seems to have tightened up. Still looks like it's going to go soon though, eh. Thanks for the advice, I was just really hoping to at least get 6 months or more out of these without any repairs.
