APC denim

[ChadM]

Two questions:

First, What's the difference between the Cures and the New Cures. I had some Cures(i dont think they were the new ones) about a year and a half ago and I didn't know about sizing down, I got my size(32) and the stretched like crazy. I bought some New Cures a few months ago and sized down two size to a 30 and they are still super super tight, which leades me to my next question.....

....does anyone have any photos of them wearing New Standards tight? or sized down 2 sizes at least...I was thinking of trying that.

Thanks!

[tweeds]

most of the new standard fit photos will have been sized down 2 at least.

so cold water or hot water and how long??? 30mins?? i just want the thighs/leg more smaller, waist and length is good

and then wear til dry

how do u shrink APC rescues 1-2 sizes down...its brand new...

i want to shrink it 1-2 sizes in legs/thighs without loosing much indigo color...

[ijiji]

will an apc ns size 25 stretch to a 28 waist?

[airflight23]

^ yes

many people manage to get the 26 to a size 30 after rigorous wear so a 3" stretch should be possible.

ps, i have on a size 27 and they have stretched to a 30 after 1 month of wear ( don't think they will get any bigger though maybe 31 by the 6 month mark)

[bapelolol]

^^ yes but when you got them could you button them all the way up or did you couldn't button all the way up?

They will not shrink noticeably neither after a soak nor a wash. What size are you in other jeans and what size did you get in Rescues?

Question about womens APC jean fit. on the apc website the womens HIPSTER jean is supposed to be a 2cm lower rise NS. I have never seen these in the store. i have seen the mens hipsters, which were just a bootcut jean i dont believe they make anymore. the only thing i dont like on the mens NS is the semi high rise, so this would solve it. anyone try on/know anything about these? thanks

[slackerdc5]

33 in regulars / lvc and got a 31 in rescues..need to shrink 1 size

[keyko]

^^ I am 30 in New Standards, 32 in pretty much everything else but 29 in rescues, so you better exchange them for 30 for a regular not baggy fit as there is absolutely no way to shrink them that much

[slackerdc5]

to shrink it and not lose much color fade,

would it be using cold water or hot water?? and whats a good time to leave it soaking

[dismalfuture]

For reference, I have the vintage washed Cures, size 26.

They feel really similar to Dior 19cm size 28, of course with the APC's having a slightly lower rise up front/much lower rise in the back.

Where I wear my jeans (low'ish) I'm about 31.5" around, and my jeans normally stretch to 32" or a little more with wear.

[xviralx]

starting to feel scared. i ordered a 27. im a 29

[zelah]

you'll be okay

they will not shrink very much. apc jeans are sanforized so you may lose some length but not much else. try to get a smaller size.

I saw them in the NY store this past saturday

[lloydapalooza]

my size 26 apc new standards stretched from 28 inches in the waist to 30 inches and it doesn't seem like they're gonna stretch anymore.

[w00tah]

whats this denimbar you guys are talking about?

[Dick Danger]

kinda like rawhide but with less hair

[just be eesy]

contemplating of whether to send my ns' to the chopping block (market) or not..

soaked hot for 2 hours, and still undesirably huge in the waist

[test]

i've read through almost every page and it seems that these really stretch out a ton. im thinking of getting the apc new cures and tapering them. i know i should wear them around the house and stretch them out before tapering. what im scared is even after i taper after they stretch, they stretch more. any advice on this?

My experience:

I ordered from the denim bar on the 9th. I contacted them on the 19th asking if it has been shipped. 48 hrs later still no reply.

You're gonna fucking taper the new cures? How small are you? They're pretty fucking skinny, man. Size down 2 and you will have to work your way into them and they're tight. I forget what the original hem is, and don't know what you're gonna taper them to, but if you really want to, they dont' shrink or change that drastically so you can taper them.

[xviralx]

hey vampire dont worry. Its because APC was shifting their warehouse and denimbar didn't get stock for a long time. I think they just received a new shipment last week. Apparently now they emailed me they are having some problems finding my payment information. Probably due to the long time between the day i paid and them trying to ship it to me now. I sent them the paypal receipt. Hope everything goes alright.

That's what I was thinking.

think about what causes the denim to stretch.

the area below the knee's do not stretch, and if they do it's VERY minimal. stretch only happens at the knees and up. so if by tapering you mean making the entire leg smaller, then you shouldn't have a problem.

so the thighs do stretch alot. when you guys size down 2, do the area around the thighs stretch to a comfortable fit(not skin tight but it still kind of clings on a little bit) or do they stretch to a looser fit?

[blm14]

Basically the amount of stretch is directly related to the amount of tightness. The denim will loosen in all the places where it's super tight to begin with. If it's loose all over when you first get them, they wont stretch at all.

[chronoaug]

The new cures are cut narrower than the new standards. They won't stretch to the point new standards do. The taper is only 1" instead of 2" on the new standard because the hem is already 3" smaller than the new standard to begin with i believe. I'd buy the new cures 2 sizes down and then decide if you want to hem them. Buy them, post pictures and ask for advice on this thread, then we'll help you. It's hard to help you hypothetically now.

[likewtfyo]

what's the opening of the cures?
