Academi Denim

[hurleyboarder11]

^^^That was also one of my concerns, along with the super low rise. I called up my local tailor and they mentioned that it would be about 15-20$ to get them changed to a button. Not too bad.

Hey everyone,

Just got my grey drys in. Initial Impression: The denim is extremely stiff for a 15 oz. Might be due to large amounts of starch or possibly the resin coated weft threads. The construction of the jeans is very nice. Solid all around. Only flaws may be in the stitching. Dye on the jeans is somewhat strange. Dye wipes off very easily. As a matter of fact, my hands were almost covered in dye after just handling them for 10-15 minutes. Dye is a shade of blue which is also somewhat strange considering these are grey? Anyway, I do believe that these jeans will fade nicely.

Snapped a few very quickly

For ref...I'm 5' 10" 180 pounds. Got a size 34. True waist of 35.

They look really interesting... I'm looking at a pair of these in the same size. What is the theigh measurement on them?

[Thorns]

Not a fan of what they've done with the button holes. I don't want to see white from the outside.

[TyCooN]

That's a pretty relaxed fit. I might return mines when they arrive.

[hurleyboarder11]

BlueOctoberFan thighs are close to a 13. I usually have a problem with the thighs in certain jeans but these were actually fine. You might want to take the rise into consideration. Front rise is about 10.5 rear is 14.25. Measurements are in inches.

I'm thinking about giving these a hot soak. Maybe to have them fit a bit better to my body? Don't know the shrinking capabilities...the legs are def very relaxed.

[TyCooN]

According to the man at context these are sanforized.

That sounds like a good fit for me, but the size of the theighs is still something of a concern... Most of what I look for has at least a 13.5" theigh, or so.

The buttons look like fruit loops.

I think they could've left out some details but overall they're nice looking jeans.

[ggatsby]

heres a headsup to those interested in these:

$79 Academi's

[joey_formal]

^^ fuck that dude there are small guys selling them, such as deep sleep and context, buy them from one of those two.

[ggatsby]

yeah i agree

its just that UO has all sizes and is the same price. if you live in a state with in-state sales tax though, definitely wait to buy from context cuz shipping+tax is a bitch (and also to support small them of course =] )

[theshonen8899]

I wonder if they'll go on sale again like the Good Society's did.

[TyCooN]

Just received my greys yesterday. A little tight in the package area. You can't really beat these for the price though.

[k9n]

TyCoon, fit pics?

[datasupa]

one word: turrrble

[bustinxjustin]

I'm interested to see what the slimmer cut is going to look like.

[thagreenpwranger]

yeah, i want to see a slimmer cut in the grey specifically. i saw these at UO and.. they were MAD stiff.

[hobobobo314]

It fits more straight then relaxed. i got a size 28. 5' 9" 120 lbs.

I can take more if any1s interested.

[knucks]

Can anyone provide measurements? Waist, thigh @ crotch, rise, etc.

Do these shrink? thanks

[fndmybetterhalf]

they are sanforized,

knucks, let me know what size measurements you need and ill PM it to you tomorrow.

[ilovespaz]

^^^ is a man slut.

[fndmybetterhalf]

real professional aiden...

get back to work.

[knucks]

I'm really not sure, probably a 32.

[fndmybetterhalf]

just checked out some Academi samples for next season i think (?). those things are pretty damn crazy. I'm talkin hidden back pockets rivets, hidden coin pockets rivets, stiff thick ass fabric. saw a couple amazing looking washes. very impressed.

[knucks]

any word on the measurements?

[fndmybetterhalf]

oops. i hve them here btu forgot to post. here is the sample sz 32 that i measured.

Waist: 16.5"

Thigh: 12.5"

Front Rise: 10"

Back Rise: 14.5"

Knee: 9.5"

Leg Opening: 9

Inseam: roughly 34"

[holeinthewall]

Arg why make the inseam 34? I love apc for their long inseams. Roll them up until after the first wash when it's perfect.

[R1 'd]

Just got my academis the other day.....got a tagged size 32 and I couldnt even button them up.....Im a 34.....180lbs.....5'10"

I rock APC RESCUES 32

I followed the directions of sizing 2 down and they fit like a true 32. Called and was advised a 36 would be the #. Ill have to see in a week or so.

[hurleyboarder11]

You're the same size as me in height/weight.I picked up the 34 in the grey. I bet that a 34 would be more than fine for you. I do warn you that the crotch is on the tight side.

In addition, I gave my pair a soak the other day. The denim is pretty damn hairy. These jeans also bleed like no other. My hands pretty much get stained blue after putting them on / 20-30 minutes of wear.
