what's the downsizing guide for acne max raw?

sorry didn't have time to look around at other threads

I normally wear size 31 in most jeans

however i'm after a relax fit

thanks for the help

[TheNorthern]

i think these fit you well (because they are going to stretch a butt load)

Are these two tight on me? They are 2 month old APC PS sized down 2.

What makes riri zippers desirable? They are used on all sorts of stuff, I have never encountered one and am just curious as to what makes them a selling point.

Is it historical like Talon,Gripper Zipper,Scovill, etc or something else entirely?

[madstaxbro]

Material quality is supposed to be better, teeth zip smoother stuff like that, but in all the jackets I've owned/tried on with RiRis I don't notice much difference between them and those special YKKs. Maybe they take wear/abuse better. I have only seen them in nicer designer leathers so it could be a luxe thing.

if an inseam is slightly too short, is there anything i could do to stretch it out?

[bluedust]

what I used to do is fold them left to right , step on the hem and gently pull them to stretch the inseam. It will stretch out about 1/2 inch but will shrink back after wash.

I need to know whether to keep this shirt or not. I'm loving it, but I think it's a bit large around the shoulders. It's a Flathead size 44: http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68&products_id=591&zenid=ae26536394c515b97c82ab2ca5282d99. According to SE, it will not shrink. Please give me your opinions.

[itylerstewart]

It seems good from those pics. I wouldn't size down.

[Manok]

How much do flat heads stretch, fh 1001 to be exact? Waist and thighs?

[Kravia]

where can i get a pair of LVC with 29 waist ? because cultizm doesnt have one

[dibango]

I'm measuring my waist for a new APC new standard. When measuring around the place I normally wear my jeans, I get a measurement of about 36". This, however, doesn't make any sense to me, since I always wear 31-32 chinos. Could someone please tell what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you very much.

You might not be doing anything wrong. Your chinos could be vanity sized. Measure the waist of your chinos and I'm sure that they measure larger than 31-32.

stingray1381, keep the shirt. the fit is perfect.

Measuring the Waist

Step 1: Button up the jean.

Step 2: Lay the jean out flat with the top front edge even with the top back edge.

Step 3: Measure from one side of the waist to the other.

Step 4: Double this measurement.

So, whatever your waist measurement is on your favorite pair of fitting jeans.. Go with that waist size and find the size that measures out to just that for an APC jean. Then if you choose to size down, you will know where to start from.

Does anyone know if there are any jeans that are LHT and natural indigo?

[Paul T]

Does anyone know if there are any jeans that are LHT and natural indigo?

I can't think of any; you'd think there must have been a Japanese one, but the bulk of LH designs tend to be influenced by Lee, who popularised that configuration but didn't launch until well after natural indigo stopped being used in workwear.

Thanks, I just measured and a well fitting pants of mine (j.crew urban slim fit) is 34" (tagged 31"). I have a week old APC new standard, tagged 30, and it's already comfortable to the point where I don't want it to stretch any further. Is it the right size?

[TheNorthern]

if they fit then they can't be wrong

and what the fuck.. j.crew vanity sizes their pants ?

[niix]

Not time for a wash yet but I'm thinking ahead.

Any one have any tips on maintaining creases when washing? With my APCs I just threw them in the wash and let it ride and my creases reset. Any tips on not having this happen to my Flat Heads?

Soaking instead of washing would HELP maintain them, but I still think you'd mostly lose them. Wait until fades develop then you don't have to worry about losing them.

Yeah I'm at about 4 months now and thinking are starting to come through finally.

Basically what you're saying is where the fade is, the denim is weaker therefore it should crease back in that same spot as long as the fade is developed?

my question is, will they fit well in two months time?

So, I am just wondering... Would anyone consider buying those as an experiment to see how they fade? It is kind of pathetic on how they are priced though, if they were <$100 I would consider trying them out just to see what quality is like and how they hold up after months of wear.

I have a pair, they're actually not too bad. I mean they're overpriced for what they are. Very similar to the Levi's Matchstick Selvedge, haven't faded them yet. They're waiting to jump into the rotation...

[madstaxbro]

One of my friends faded a dark washed pair around 08 - 09 and the dye faded pretty uniformly, so I'm guessing that would be similar.

[TheNorthern]

well . . .

a.p.c. jeans are notorious for their stretching capability

from my personal experience they do stretch a ton in both the waist & thighs

but.. a 'good' fit is all based upon personal preference & taste

in all honesty, i can't tell you if your jeans will fit you well in two months time..

the only one person who can figure that out is yourself

if you'd like a better opinion, could you please post a fit picture ?

my question is, will they fit well in two months time?

[kenzie]

i've searched selfedge for the past two days and cannot find the answer to this question: what cut from iron heart is not selvedge? i've seen a guy around my university wearing a pair, looks like a slim taper or skinny fit, can't tell if it's OD or not. help?
