A.P.C. Men's S/S 09

[mellowfellow]

spring merchandise comes after the fall/winter sales which is the end of January.

[amin]

i have been told by a store in the uk that the varsity jacket will retail for around 175GBP

[BostonWardrobe]

this shit is on POINT.

[mellowfellow]

I like this jacket for spring. Retail is $330.

[Mbrand]

I'd get something made in england for cheaper

[jeanunit]

I'm not really sure if the country of origin is the most relevant proof of quality.

That jacket looks like one of their "made in Ukraine" items.

That stuff hasn't disapointed me yet.

[capa]

Some of the stuff is up on the APC website but not everything previously posted.

[nlim3482]

new summer stuff on website

for those wondering about the varsity / bomber jacket - price is 220 euros (and almost sold out). Much more expensive than I thought it would be, I was expecting around the 170-180 euro mark. Anyone handled it in person?

[jeepster]

yeah

good construction

boxy in the shoulders

slim, but not skinny.

very nice fit. a tad short in the torso, but I'm 6'7" and tried on an XL, so I can only attest to my sizing.

[Faye]

I hope they'll get restock of the varsity soon....

@jeepster what APC size do you usually wear? I'm always between S and M size in APC jackets (or better said: my shoulders are M, but my torso and arm length are S)

So should I get the varsity in S or M? (I want it fitted, but not exactly slim)

[jeepster]

XL in jackets and shirts

31 in jeans (NC/PS)

I couldn't tell you how to wear it. That's entirely up to you.

did you try it on at the apc soho store? Anymore left?

[jeepster]

I walked by today... store seemed a bit barren. Didn't go in though, even though as I walked by the cute blonde SA starred at me through the window and I returned her stare... dang, opportunity missed.

[homi29]

damn just saw the updated info in this thread, seems like my dreams of coppin that varsity are severely dwindling

[tm]

ppl bashes apc for being boring every season.

don't you get it already?!

their whole styling is based on simplicity...........

nice basics/staples with a french twist and slim fit is what they excell in but things have been cut more "generously" nowadays which is not cool at all.

[Mr Waffles]

what's up with the light colored jeans, never see anything on their site.

also, why are their shoes so much fucking money?

[marquischacha]

Their shoes are always expensive but they are very high quality. Anyways speaking to the reps at the LA store it looks like they aren't going to get any restocks at all. I think they are trying to avoid overstocking and keep a low overhead this season. There was a ton of shit for sale at the end of winter almost the entire winter line was there in all sizes so I can see why they would take it easy this time around.

[ColdsnapBryan]

I really liked how that pocket madras like shirt fit me, will probably buy soon.; length needs tailoring though

[Flock]

Really wanted to grab a jumpsuit, but size 2 is like a size 50 right?

I need size one, anybody know where i can grab one at? anotheer online store? proxy maybe from an apc store?

I've always wanted to cop some APC derbies...but they are too expensive for what they are.

Same thing happens with almost all shirts i get in my chest size. Too damn long, being short sucks.

Those worker jeans are FUGLY looks like some shit G-star raw could have come out with.

[broken_dubz]

Just copped the 'narrow fit trousers' in navy blue chino cotton, size S from the EU webstore. Slimmer than I expected them to be but I really really like the fit and the colour. I was contemplating buying size M but considering i'm 31"-32" waist and 30" in NS (which is a bit big i feel) I feel happy I went with the small. Does anybody know what the waist measurements on the M size are? i'm guessing a 34"

[Faye]

waist measurement for the S-size that you've got are 83cm. for the M-size it's 87 cm.

are they very narrow around the thighs?

[broken_dubz]

they aren't super slim fitting, but they are what i would describe as slightly tighter than a 'slim-straight' fit. They aren't too tight against the thighs either but taper more towards the leg openings. I would say they feel tighter against my calves than thighs. Real nice pants.

[readytoignite]

nice basics/staples with a french twist and slim fit is what they excell in but things have been cut more "generously" nowadays which is not cool at all.

i never thought of them as super slim, but to be honest i've only ever messed with their button down shirts which are cut to flare in the back as seems to be the french style. it kind of sucks that their price points went up 20-25% along with agnes b cos back in the day those were the two places you could get on-point button downs for 130/140 which is where they should be imo (conveniently overlooking that agnes b went off the rails about 8 years ago)

anyone seriously considering dropping 440 on those derbies needs their head checked.

though to be honest i'm kind of beasting on those new nikes so... glass houses etc. but still, yeesh

[jeepster]

Sebago makes the same derby's with padded soles for like

$70 or something.

[dismalfuture]

I have those narrow trousers too, but mine are the light grey, as from the suit this season, I don't really like them.

[ahk1979]

for all those still looking for the varsity jacket.

I haven't seen the gray ones in person but from the description on the website they are more tapered than the chinos. I was contemplating those but the description put me off as being way too skinny and i wanted a pair of casual pants so gray was out of the option.

Aside from that, there is not one other item (except maybe the varsity) that appeals to me at those prices in the ss collection.

[qom]

expensive shit is expensive

I really want that jacket
