my APC raw black cures.

[jwied82]

im really surprised they don't by now... maybe next season.

[keyko]

i doubt they're fake. i dont doubt that you've got excellent luck.

Seconded, but i don't doubt they are not fake.

[HEWSINATOR]

Those look as nice as the black Sammy's IMO.

[jwied82]

dunno if they look as good as samurai bk's, but thats kinda the standard im hoping these measure up to.

anyway, after work tonight i snapped some photos of them being worn.

[homme.homme]

I got the exact same pair from (im guessing) the same seller around the same time as you but your's look amazing compared to mine.

Time to start wearing mine everyday - meet you back here in 3 months.

[jeepster]

hot soak for an hour or two - it will bring them back into shape - probably lose a bit of length, but it will slim them up and tighten them around the thigh/crotch somemore.

[beatle]

Not yet as good as Mr. Sam ...but a couple of months....and you'll be there...

[munkyballz]

Damn. You got some nice wear and fades on those for black raws. Fading seems to take forever on my current black denims.

Wish APCs would start selling some raw black New Cures already.

[rome1]

Just curious nobody mentioned it but how much do they go for?

[homme.homme]

from memory mine were US$50 but I could be mistaken.

[rome1]

Really that cheap? Damn might just have to try and start looking for a pair.

[jwied82]

i think i paid around 80 after shipping for them.. the shipping was like 25 dollars or something because the seller was located somewhere in asia (hong kong, i think, but i dont remember for sure)

on a related note, my mom just got a raw black apc denim skirt from the same seller for like $10 (before shipping)... hasnt arrived yet but im thinking it'll be pretty nice, probably the same denim as the jeans.

[Curious_George]

Damn, those black cures look awesome. Are they 100% cotton? APC has some black stretch cures on their website now, but I think I actually like the look of these more.

[homme.homme]

No stretch at all - 100% cotton

And yeah shipping was over priced but certainly still worth it. I think the cost+shipping+convert to AU dollars = AU$100 which is less then half price for APC in Sydney.

Wearing mine now and if I wasn't sick I would be out scaling mountains to get some wear on these suckers. Mine look brand new... almost.

[matrix7583]

so If I need a bargain price, then I have to serach ebay or something?:confused: :confused: anyone has answers? thx man

[anonymous]

matrix: There's an eBay seller (angelfish_1) from Hong Kong that tends to sell a lot of APC overstock stuff from past seasons, including the black Cures.

[Lucas0607]

Okay this is a total noob post but what the fuck.

How much do APCs usually cost in their store?

I'm think I'm going to get my first apcs next week (my first "real" denim)

So yeah, just for comparison... Shit with how those jeans look (so fucking sexy) I'm getting to excited to get my first pair!

[jwied82]

last time i saw something from the same seller, it was for a pair of the faded grey cures and they had a disclaimer saying they were sold out of the raw black ones... i guess they got some people asking if they had any more or something.

and yeah, like homme said, they are 100% cotton. The ones they have for this current season are overdyed stretch black jeans, so theyd be totally different.

[Servo2000]

I have been looking for these for fucking forever. I need to get up to LA to try on the New Cures, I was thinking I'd go oversized on these things for a change of pace.

[Lab]

Could you message me the ebay seller's ID? I definitely want to purchase a pair

any help's appreciated

[defiance]

jwied82: who makes the belt?

[yiHan]

Apc for so cheep! WOW!

[jwied82]

um... please read my post more carefully...

the seller said they are out of them, no more left, so youd have to find them elsewhere.

The belt is just some random vintage rummage sale belt.

belt are one thing i never see paying over like $2.00 for because you can always find quality, well-aged leather belts for next to nothing at thrift stores and whatnot.

[jwied82]

6 months...

comparison pic with the APC skirt my mom recently got from the same ebay seller. Pretty sure its the exact same denim:

on a side note.. all the wear on these jeans is from wearing them to work.

I recently got a Nudie gunnar shirt off the supermarket to wear as a work shirt.

I work in the refrigerated/frozen dept. at a grocery store so i need to wear a jacket or something to stay warm, and i have been just wearing h&m hoodies because they are cheap and fit well. Ive pretty much trashed 2 hoodies in the past year, so i'm excited to see how gunnar will respond to his life as work-wear.

[poly800rock]

did you wash these yet?

[jwied82]

not actually washed.. gave them a warm soak in the kitchen sink, agitated it a little bit by hand, hung them up to dry.. it did clean them a little because they were getting excessively dirty and also they shrunk back a small bit, but no where close to back to original size...

[joey_formal]

what a fantastic fade on those damn.

[travisio]

great looking jeans! it looks like your right side gets more wear than the left, any idea why? the left side of my jeans always gets more wear than the right because i always put my left hand on my left thigh when i push when i skate.

also, your mom's awesome for wearing a.p.c.

[homme.homme]

Any fades on your combs?? Mine are still perfectly black.

[jwied82]

nothing significant in the combs.. its the only disappointing aspect of the wear.

And, i know exactly why my right side gets so much more wear.. These are work jeans for me, and i am right handed... i stock in a grocery store so sometimes i rest cases against my right thigh as im stocking them. Also i'll have to do things like push stacks of milkcrates, carry pallets, just whatever, and it seems the right thigh get alot of abrasion/wear from things.
