apc cure is similar to a dior homme fit

nudie slim finn, slim kim, and sometimes the slim jim are very straight and tight.

or you could just wear women pants.

Hi, I have a brand new pair of Acne Max Cash Black Unwashed in 29/32 for sale. The tags are still on and everything, they've never been used. If you're interested send me an e-mail.

[mrmax]

I would definately check out Lad Musician:

http://www.ladmusician.com

I don't have any experience of the clothing, or even seen it for sale anywhere (in the UK at least), but skinny/indie silhouettes seems to be their whole shit - which might seem a little contrived.

i'm quite into japanese fashion as i go there once every year for holiday.lad musician is a well known label in japan. they make nice and good quality clothings, but not really similar to dior homme.its quite costly though.

[djrajio]

Actually Lad Musician has had the skinny asethetic long before Dior homme started appropriating it. The clothing is very well made and frankly well worth the money, especially the suits which are at a fraction of the cost of higher european labels but still with the lean/skinny style.

If you're looking for brands that look almost exactly like Dior, again you'll be hard pressed. I'd recommend Number (N)ine, Undercover, N. Hoolywood, Lad Musician, Soe, Roen, Julius, Lounge Lizard, Diet Butcher Slim Skin, wjk.

n.hollywood is tight..

rajio.. who stocks? where is it sold? ive only seen it in nonno....

[djrajio]

Thomas, its actually wrtten: N. Hoolywood, not N. Hollywood. But pronounced: Mister Hollywood. Yes, it doesn't make sense. The brand, as far as I know, I only sold in Japan in select boutiques and at its flagship stores in Tokyo.

[Spasmonaut]

waist: 31.5"

Although when I put them on and wear them very low, they can stretch (because they're made of 2% Elastan) to about 33".

These jeans are very low rise.

As I didn't know how to do the measurements properly, I've taken pics of it so you can see what I've done exactly. If you want more measurements just tell me how to do it properly

Can you get Lad Musician outside of Japan? They have a webstore on their official site, but I can't for the life of me work out if they send to Europe. Probably not. Japanese sites really need to globalise.

[giantreptile]

i would say that my helmut langs are very close to my 19 cm classic Diors.

[djrajio]

No you can't purchase Lad Musician outside of Japan. The reason Japanese sites don't ship outside of Japan is because its prohibitively expensive and plus they know Japanese fashion is hugely popular in Asia and want to keep the goods exclusive. The A/W 05 line is closed for online shopping. However, I can visit the store and purchase any goods that might be still be available.

[shagnscoob]

is there anywhere to get helmut langs/ acne's for less than $200 ??

im SOOOO down with the way they fit but they are just a slight bit too expensive. not to mention ive heard that acne's fall apart... cant confirm that though...

[Carl]

eBay my friend.

Ive purchased two pairs of Helmut Langs (one dark wash, one selvedge) for a total of 96 dollars.

[shagnscoob]

yeah but id instantly presume that ebay is flooded with fakes. i know how identify diesel fakes, but otherwise im lost.

[Carl]

Ehhh, just trust your instincts.

Don't go for shady auctions from shady sellers. Have the seller take more pictures for you. Its not too hard and you'll save a shit load of money.

APC cure does exist they might not still be producing them i duno, when i went to the store around julyi saw em

someone on this board has a pair, haptronic, check page 50 of what are you wearing and hes got em on.

a lowrise APC would be the hipster, which is no longer in existence, it was there in july, but i havent seen them on the site or anythign sense. but its similar to the NS, but no taper, and a lower rise, they look very nice i know someone with a pair.

chwa?

[shagnscoob]

i thought most dior jeans were not low rise. im not sure if they were 'high rise' but from what i hear they are definitely not low.

another thing is that i heard the tight/cure APC fit are way too carrot like, they look weird. is everyone willing to agree that those are the most similar to the 19cm? or is the New standard a closer match?

[haptronic]

I do have a pair of cure, if you order the tight model the tag still says cure [same model].

As for comparisons to dior homme 19cm, Mouko has both and laid them out together he said they are very similar [i think it was on FS].

btw corbin this is the hipster

How does the sizing for DH jeans work? I'm around 31" and can probably pull off 32" in jeans, what should I go for when I'm hunting for DH?

[parfektionisto]

hey, i woudl like to know the answer too.some ppl say, the tag size and the measures size is about 1-2inches difference.for e.g, if the tag size is 29, the mesaured size of actual size is 32.am i correct,any1???but i also heard some1 telling me the tag size is also the measured size???not sure who is right???only the 1 with the real dior jeans will know.

tight online is just the new name for the cures.

And yes, comparing my diors (30s, 19cm) to my cure (31, washed versions) they're are the exact same measurements, waist, length, leg widths. Remember though Dior's are sized smaller than the actual waist in many models.

[parfektionisto]

hi haptronic, i check out the web page u posted,but thats a female jeans. u mean the only hipster apc made is only 4 females??

[haptronic]

the models cure, new standard, and hipster, were/are all unisex models [ I beleive the NS was called unisex at one point.

the hipster's name was changed to the womens jean, but is still the same cut.
