What makes APC jeans unique?

[T A M A D]

I was wondering what all the hype is about APC's? What sets them apart from other denim brands?

Thanks in advance!

"hype" has a lot to do with it. but in reality, they're good quality jeans w/ nice cuts for an affordable price.

the thing that makes APC's so unique is that there really not unique at all (i hope you can understand that). APC's have no distinct markings or anything about them that is identifying. they are in my oppinion the best "generic looking" jeans you can get. they are great quality and they are relatively inexpensive at around US 120 a pair when your shopping in the states. i think they are also unique because for the most part, only people who own a pair of APC's will be able to identify them on another person, its not like you can look at someones ass and see identifying stitching like with the majority of other brands of denim.

How exactly do you go about identifying a pair of APC jeans? They just look like a dark pair of jeans to me.

C'mon... Seriously?

The Cut

The Selvage (especially if cuffed) & Color

The Undersized Pockets

Etc

All of which makes the denim unique as well.

Amazing that APC is still getting thread time... Wow

The front pockets aren't deep at all, back pocets hold a wallet fine.

i like all thr images of APCs ive seen so far; right now im balling on a restricted budget; But i love the fact that they dont stand out to anyone outside the know. I hate most things that double as billboards.

I got a pair of the "New Standard" APC jeans last year in NY....I think the color, fit and cut are super good.

Can't beat a dope pair of denim for a buck twenty....

Bitch be cool...tell the mother f#ckin' bitch ta chill

[Handlethevibe]

All apc stock at denimbar is only like $120. They ship too.

[youwish]

I think the new standard is my ideal fit for denim.

It takes strength to be gentle and kind.

[alained]

just bought a pair of the new a.p.c jeans in gray- slim fits. my first pair of a.p.c's and they fit great. i will definitely be buying a couple others.

[M.O.A]

about to purchase my second pair, i cant wait....this time im gonna go with the rescue.....

F**K HYPE

solecollector.com

getlifted.net

overstand.net

[nairb49]

thinkin of ordering a pair of new standards...

if i'm normally a 31, i should order a 29 if i've interpreted the mass of info about sizing correctly...

anyone a 31 that ordered a pair of new standards?

i don't understand why everyone of this board praises APCs. I know this will get dismissed as my opinion but I think APCs look cheap, feel cheap, fade cheap....I gave in awhile back and bought a pair to see what all the hype was about and the more I wear them the more I notice wrong with them.

There's one word that makes APC good:

FIT.

theres a denimbar in T.dot

you think they might have it?

doubt it rite?

[ninja life moves fast]

i notice the site now has the following "new" jeans in stock:

original standard

standard

what is the difference between these and the new standard? is the new standard just lower rise and the original a normal/high rise? the new standard also seems to have gone up in price to $160.

[merzbot]

it is the overdyed jeans that are 160, everything else is 140 (unwashed)

original standard are same cut, just have a higher rise. same jeans from the early 90s

negatory. that denimbar seems to only stock the usual suspects - sevens, citizens...

[ninja life moves fast]

will the orig standards hug my nuts less lovingly than my new standards? what about the regular standards?

[horriblyjollyjinx]

the new standards and the standards on apc.fr are the same cut, just different washes. as mentioned earlier, the old standards have a higher rise, that's all.

SOME GIRLS ARE BIGGER THAN OTHERS

[complice]

I'm not really sure what the big deal is either. They are great classic jeans, which hold up well, but they've only been around since the early/mid nineties. Sure, they've added a few new cuts, but why are so many people just discovering them now?

thanks canice

just saw it on the way to dephic

asked my friend afterwards and he told me that one is more for girls with sevens and those stuff

just wondering if theres any affiliation with the one ppl posting on here about 120 shipped for new standards.
