APC denim

[abstract bM]

is the apc new standard a similar fit to the imperial dukes? and which is baggier?

[flyordie]

Depending on your choice of size, they can be baggier or slimmer fitting.

[sooojoooo]

apc ns size 26 (3 size down) or 27 (2 size down)

^^^^i have to decide

weight/height

139 lbs

5'10"

i usually wear 29 waist

i wear slimjim 29x34 and it stretched to 32inches

what should i get?

[chronoaug]

I sized down 2 from my nudies size which ended up being 3 sizes down overall. Overall, it's your decision, just giving you what info i have.

[fallen angels]

^i only sized down 2, they fit great when i got them but after a month or two of wear, they feel a little loose on me now. they stretch a shitload and they measure 3" over tag size now, so going down 3 sizes should be okay for you if you want a good fit.

My size 28 strectched like a mother.

Don't buy online

nooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah it's not

ns stretches a lot more than the dukes and imo ns is baggier than dukes (before & after stretch)

but then again they both aren't baggy

:confused: you must be looking for the wrong cuts homie

Two quick questions (sry if they've been answered before, spare me please);

(1) I'm running a 34 x 34 in LVC '47 501xx's. What size should I purchase If I'm buying a pair of APC New Standards..?

(2) Also, how do the New Standards fit compare to the LVC 47s..?

Thanks ahead of time.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but do you guys recommend soaking APCs?

Carlos welcome to superfuture. I have both LVC 47 501 size 34x34 and APC NS, so here are my thoughts:

(1) the waist on APC NS usually measure ~2" larger than tag size, and these do stretch a lot. I got a size 32, thighs might fit a little slim at first but will loosen up to a great fit. go down to size 31 if u want an even slimmer fit. my size 32 have a ~35" waist now.

(2) apc ns tapers 2" from knee to opening (18" knee, 16" opening on my size 32). lvc 47 501 is more straight legged. APC also has a longer inseam, about 36-37", so i hemmed mine.

unlike Levi's, there is no need to soak the APC NS when u get them, just wear them raw and they feel great.

Thank you and I look forward to posting on Superfuture.

Ok, thanks for the help and you've lifted a lot of weight off of my shoulders. Now its time to purchase a pair and watch them flourish.

Normally I'm a 30/31 in Diesel, 31/32 in everything else, but my APC's are a size 33 and fit tight. I don't know if mine are old or their sizing has changed recently or what? Either way, I just bought a pair of Grey APC Standards off of ebay, they were way too baggy so I had them made into skinny jeans (modeled after Diesel Thanaz) and they're awesome now.

It just dawned on me. Does A.P.C. actually stand for something, or is it just an acronym for nothing?

I've just ordered a pair from Mauro from DenimBar on thursday and its still isnt here yet...

how many days it usually take you guys to get them

[A.L.]

Ordered a pair of New Standards yesterday, and suprisingly showed up today..

Anyway, I know they stretch a lot, I got 27's, and am usually a 30

These are almost painfully tight in the waist, but perfect in the legs...how long does the waist take to stretch usually?

Thanks

Tough it out a few days. We are similar in waist, but I purchased a 28.

And with the stretch lets just say

Regret..regret...regret...

Painfully tight = you got em to button. Therefore, your good to go.

[A.L.]

just be eesy, thanks

I had 28's before and yeah they stretched way to much, so I'm just gonna keep on wearing till these stretch

[aaronmetcalf]

i have been wearing my a.p.c. new cures for the last few days and i sized down 2 sizes to a 28. it's nice to see raw denim makers turn out super slim jeans that i won't have to tailor. i used to strictly wear levis and then tailor them super tight. this denim is much better and the cut leaves nothing to be desired. i can't wait to see the breaking in process of this pair.

Took me about 3 business days. Denimbar usually uses signature confirmation so make sure someone is home to sign for them.

[bapelolol]

for hipsters, would you size down the same as you did for new standards ? ie 2 down

[chronoaug]

For hipsters, i'd just follow the same rules. Size down 2 for slim, 1 for more relaxed.

Ordered last Friday, got mine on Wednesday.

Forgive me for not reading through this whole thread, but come on it's 100 pages.

I just got my APC New Cure size 28 from denim bar, and they're too fucking tight! I measure the waist at a true 14", which is just too small. For some reason I thought they actually ran a little bigger. Oh well! I'm thinking I need to order a 29 or 30, but here is my question: I can't even pull the size 28 up all the way because my thighs are kind of big. These jeans fit how i want them to, and I assume that once they stretch out it won't look REALLY REALLY tight in the leg, but i just want to be able to pull them up to my waist to break them in. Will a size 29 or 30 possibly have a large enough leg to accomidate this?

[sooojoooo]

if i get a size 26 in the new standards

will i be fine? i wear 29 in other jeans

5'10" / 139lbs

[spackadam]

it's more dependent on other variables. The build of your leg is very important. That being said, you're about the same as me. I wear a 26 so I'll say yes.

[Sinoito]

Does Mauro at Denim Bar still give discounts to SFers? I'm thinking about heading up there this summer.

[TPR950H]

Need more pics.
