ARC-unisex/new standards & tight

[velvetant]

i am wanting to know the difference in appearance between the apc "tight" & the "unisex" aka new standards--has anyone any pics other than those on the APC site? i want to see the comparison.

which is closest to a Dior Homme fit?

"tight" is closest to a Dior Homme fit. The rise is about the same, the tight are obviously just a bit tighter. They are not selvage however (not sure if that is a deterrent for you). Someone here posted some pictures awhile back and they looked very Dior Homme-ish. Tight and tapered, with lots of bunching at the ankles.

Hi Serge, I don't think so... in apc.fr site it says ther constitution is 100% cotton.

[Serge d Nimes]

cool, they they are probably selvage denim without the selvage seam.

Yea, no selvage seam but they seem to be selvage. For the record I don't think their that tight, they are def slim and straight legged but not ridiculously tight and absolutely no stretch in them.

How is the fit of the tight? I'm a 32" waist, 30 in Helmut Lang. Should I buy a 32" tight jeans? I like a snug fit.

[ten100switch]

the fit is loose IMHO, I wear a 32 in nudie but am loose in a 31 apc. I don't know my size in helmut lang, but I'm a 48 in ysl and dior

Regarding shipping from APC, do they deduct the VAT (19.6%) upon shipping for orders outside the european union? Shipping seems quite expensive though (50EURO!!)

[ten100switch]
