Just got my first pair of dry denim (rescues)

[ericellenbrook]

For my innagural post, I figured that I'd post for some opinions. I used to wear stuff like American Eagle and things like that then I realized that when I go out I should look semi-presentable so I decided to buy clothes that fit me and some higher end stuff. So instead of insanely baggy jeans I did some research on here and figured that APC Rescues would be best for me. So here they are. What do you think of them with my body style? Did I make the right choice? Do they fit me?

Sorry if this wasn't the right place for this thread/post.

sexy.......

[Biff15]

they fit just fine. at this point, even if they fit shitty, they'd still be better than that american eagle non-sense...

looks like a pretty good fit for your body type.

[ericellenbrook]

ain't that the truth. no more of that stuff for me, ever again.

also in case anyone searches this thread on the hunt for which size is right for them (like I did for a few months) here is the stats:

I'm 6' tall, 186lb, and I normally wear a 34 waste. I ordered these in a 31 and they're a bit snug in the ass (obviously, mine is huge) and around the fly. I've only had them for a few days.

Also I got them hemmed because they were so long. I hope they don't shrink up too much when I finally give in and was them but whatever. If they do they do.

Those look really fucking good on you (no homo). Great fit, especially from the front. They will stretch though, to your comfortable waist.

Makes me almost want to get a pair of Rescues, but I think I'm gonna get a pair of Imperial Kings instead

Yeah, good post, new philosophy on life, ect. The only issue I can see is the length. They are just a little too short as it is, and they will shrink up about 1/4"-1/2". You're doing well with everything else. Stick around!

Edit: You know what? As those stretch out (and they will stretch out like crazy), you will wear them lower on your hips. This will make them a bit "longer," so to speak. Good job.

If they do shrink in length after a wash, just step on the bottom of the hem and pull upwards while they're still wet. I'm serious. This should stretch them back to regular size.

[ericellenbrook]

hey thanks guys! that's a really nice boost of confidence that i'm on the right track

[constant struggle]

you shuolda left maybe 1 inch more on the hem in my opinion

otherwise its fine

[MAC SMALLS]

looks fuckin dope bro now u got me wanting a pair (we have very similar measurements/build)

[Androo630]

How much did you get the jeans for?

[indigo_junkie]

Looks a good fit. Probably get better over time as the denim gets softer, drape better. I'm about the same weight only 3 inches shorter. hmmm, maybe it's time for me to stop buying slim fits.

Agreed. Give them the wet stretch or they will end up Too $hort.

one pair of jeans isnt enough... come deeper into the dark side...

[ericellenbrook]

How much did you get the jeans for?

$70 through the context half off sale about a week ago thanks for the tip on the wet stretch. i'll be sure to keep that in mind.

now to beat the shit out of these so i can get some wear out of them!
