APC denim

[cchen]

I have both... the NS is definitely tighter in the thigh and leg

[obsessis]

i like the way jeans look when they bunch up at your feet. i wouldn't hem them. they will shrink a bit when wash them anyways.

just wondering does anyone own the new standards and the nudie SS (straight sven)

just wondering if the standards are alot tighter than the SS? havent really seen many people here with the SS on, but from my understanding its roomier in the thigh and leg than the NS..

The NS tighter and more tapered than the SS. The rise on the NS is also lower.

All my jeans bunch up a bit at the ankle. It will create some very interesting honeycombs especially if you cross your legs at the ankle alot like I do.

Hi, I wear a pair of 32 Cheap Mondays in the Tight model. What size of New Standards would work best in trying to acheive the same fit? Thanks!

[tweeds]

i very much doubt you can get that sort of fit with the new standard...cheap mondays are mad tight. try the new super slim or something.

[krookedskater]

I've heard people here say that they have the slim jean/new cure in a size 25. Is size 25 only available in womens or do they also make a 25 in mens but its just not available on their site. Is this the same deal with the cures? sorry if this has been covered already

[truestorytravis]

Edwin, who made the wallet that's in the pic of your APCs on page 26?

[holeinthewall]

I suppose what I meant was the same waist fit. I would like to have the waist fit the same as in a Cheap Monday Tight 32, what size should I go with? Thanks!

[headtowall]

My New Standards at about 4 months. I've been wearing my LVC 47s a lot more lately, so these haven't been getting as much wear. However, those are soaking now, so the APCs are happening again.

[tweeds]

holeinthewall: you'll want to go about a size down, i think. i wear 27 in NS and when i tried a 29 Tight it felt all sorts of wrong in the waist, so i imagine a 28 Tight would have fit me better. a size or so down when you switch to APC.

rest of world: so...wtf do you guys do to your jeans, my APCs are barely getting any real contrast and i live in them already. of course im in the military so most of the day i have to wear my uniform. but between hours i do about 2 km of walking here and there so it's not like my jeans aren't being bashed up or anything. admittedly, i don't skate or bike in them (which is the new health craze at the moment it seems)

[conan]

Hey can anyone post pics of the washed version of the new standards. Im pretty sure what size to get just need to decide which colour to get. cheers

[homi29]

nice APCs headtowall..

those are soooo dope looking,, kinda makes me want to get a pair of NS along with my rescues

[chadler]

jesus headtowall, those honeycombs could cut someone!

[PG2G]

headtowall, you sure have lots of wear in the critch area... not uncomfortable at all?

[Guest]

I didn't see this covered anywhere: anyone know how the fit of the current "straight jeans" compares to the hipsters? I have a pair of 28 hipsters that fit me well, but could stand to be a little bit roomier all around.

[Mr Fingers]

Not sure why this didn't show the first time..

Ha. It's the biking that does that. Not uncomfortable.

About the Women's Low-Rise (Hipsters) for that girl... I have a pair and I'm getting kind of sick of them because the rise is really really low while the leg is not particularly that tight (on me at least). I think I should've gotten NS's, which is what I'll probably do soon. I tried on both at the store and I got talked into the Hipster over the NS which was a mistake. My problem arises in the fact that I like to stick my hands in my pockets so they've bunched down even further, and now they let half of my ass crack show. Being so low, they're also not that flattering for me. I could use that extra 1" of rise in the NS now, definitely.

For a man's legs though, I do like the width of the APC Hipster/NS legs. For women, I think the skinnier or extra-skinny legs might be more flattering.

[evisu 2000]

i just got my hipsters today... pockets will need getting used to. they are really fucking tight. i don't feel so well actually. unfortunately the thigh right now is perfect... hopefully it won't suck when the thighs stretch... i'm thinking _maybe_ i could have sized down 1 more (even though i already went down 3 sizes) since i can button all the buttons right now... i'm leaving the top one unbuttoned though, & it feels like the rest are going to burst any second.

[evisu 2000]

heh weird. i got 2 pairs of hipsters actually... the made in tunisia one only has 3 buttons (as opposed to 4 on the macau one). did the new standards used to only have 4 buttons?

[Chicken]

^ isn't the one with 3 buttons a woman's version?

[evisu 2000]

well i thought they were a woman's jean to begin with. i just tried on the one with 3 buttons and it is significantly tighter and the pockets are also a lot smaller. x:

slimjims are tighter in the hips and thighs and lower rise than NS. the hem is about the same. also slimhjims do not taper from the knee down while NS do a little bit.

Alien vs Predator, Freddie vs Jason, Nudie vs A.P.C.

[snkrbndt]

^awesome, thanks for the info!

would anyone have a photo of apc ns paired with dunk his? wanted to see how it fits thanks

swanky!!!

[snkrbndt]

Hi i've been lurking here for a while but havent post yet

just need some help here

Im currently wearing RRDS sz 29

I wanted to order APC NS from denimbar, the lady there suggested me to take 27

however they dont have 27 anymore

will size 26 fits fine with me, or will it be too small?

[Dangydang]

They'll fit eventually after they stretch out, but even with the stretching they'll still be very slim. If that's what you're after then go for it.

[Ott]

they may not fit eventually if you can only get one button done.

I wear 29 SSDS and it took me like 20 minutes to get my sz 27 New Standards buttoned the first time... with a 26 I'd probably have to stretch the waist out by hand just to get them on.
