APC Spring 07

Has anyone purchased anything from this collection?

I'm especially fond of the "trousers" in looks 1 and 11 ($197), and the fitted jacket in look 11 ($424).

What does "cotton gabardine" mean? Do you think these items are worth the money?

[mlproject]

i'm so pissed i missed this jacket last season. anyone have any ideas where to pick up old items?

[Cyruswong]

Bought a pair of white jeans and a black cardigan last month.

Haven't worn the jeans yet.

I lost the cardigan somewhere...... Damn.

Gabardine

Yes, I think the items are worth the money for the fabric, trim, and fit. However, you can get a better pair of pants that are half lined for around the same price, but I don't know if the fit will be as nice/specific.

i got the apc catalog in the mail a few weeks back and immediately thought the cut of the trousers and the way they were worn looked rad

Does anyone know how the cotton gabardine trousers will hold up in the wash? How would you care for them? I hate having to get things dry cleaned.

mlproject, are you talking about the "boy jacket" from last season? I wanted to pick that up when it went on sale, but never got around to it.

Miguel, wouldn't you want pants with extremly thin fabric for S/S?

Morningstar, do you have any suggestions for pants (or clothes in general) cut with a similar silhouette, within the same price range or cheaper?

[mlproject]

this was more of a m65 crossed with a pea coat... it might of even been called a military jacket.

i bought one of their button-front white shirts recently...the first time i put it on 2 of the buttons fell off. they obviously gave me store credit, but i was a little put off (and there were no more in my size). there's nothing else that really gets me that interested, I guess the coats are well-designed but the fabric is very cheap and they are not worth the $500 they are priced at, in my opinion. Also the trousers aren't tailored well enough to fetch $200.

wow. the apc topsiders are insanely fresh click

How do you know if a fabric is cheap or expensive?

[dnnsmanace]

You can "feel" it, etc. I hate this shit and opening ceremony where the cuts are nice but the make is so low quality. Guess no one wants moderately low profit margins... APC jeans 4eva tho.

OC shoes feel like garbage and they're charging like 250 for them, some nerve.

[Gabriel]

I don't know much about APC but I have a jacket which is great quality, jeans too of course, and I bought black trousers last week (which I'm going to sell because they're not my style), and they are beautiful quality, actually that's why I bought em I guess...

[LittleL]

I really like APC. In general the quality is very sound, which comes with the expected higher price tag. But I think some items are a ridiculously overblown, especially the more "special" pieces, which seem to lessen in quality (still very good) and get exponentially expensive. I bought one of their suits, and was just thinking if it was worth the 500ish euros, for something that comes in (xs,s,m etc) and is made in Poland...

I guess, what I'm getting at is a more consistent alignment and pricing across their whole range might define their label a bit more.

The "insane" part of their "freshness" being the $250 price tag. Right?

[american_hearts]

I'd have trouble finding a reason to get these over a pair of fifty-dollar sperrys.
