HAHA, ill give you $30!
I cant wait until ill get my APC NS 29's Indiglo.
I'm tryna sell my APC NS 28's right now, and currently sold the APC PS 29's.
If you guys are thinking of getting PS's, don't get it =P, unless you like low-rise.
The rise is super low, feel's really weird, especially when you're tryna stretch em out.

how are APCs? Looking into a pair later on, which ones fit like GTs or SJs? something with room in the thighs and a smaller opening.

I've probably paid full retail for about 1/4 of them

yeah well you have no other choice now. yeah do a light soak so enough that they're wet evenly, and throw them into a preheated dryer.

mind you it will stretch out the more you wear it.

wear a fucking belt. haha!

room in the thighs and smaller opening (a la tapered?) hmmm well the rescues usually have more room in the thighs, depending on how you size, with a straight leg. now the new standards are more fitted, also depending on how you size em, with a tapered leg. looks like you're going to have to choose sides if you want to go apc.

Uniqlo FTW!!! I just got another pair tonight and they're super rigid. Really nice and they only cost me 499HKD. Also, I bought a pair a couple weeks ago for 125 HKD. Not as nice but for that price I really can't complain.

so I decided to ship them back to Germany and exchange for a size smaller..also shipped back the other pair that didn't fit too well..but I kinda want only 1 pair..so i have an extra pair of jeans I need to get rid of..

anyone want to buy a pair of new jeans?
the site is www.cultizm.com..if anyone wants sth you'll probably pay the CAD on there less 19% VAT..and shipping is free..someone pm me hahaha

Pretty decent stuff on sale at Brooklyn. Some True Religions, COHs, etc., and not only in ridiculous sizes either.

Picked up a pair of TR for 27% off, and PPD for 60+% off. Excellent customer service I must say, I'll definitely return.

but yes apc's are known for their fit not for their denim. Please get that through your mind. If you want quality go for flathead/sammies.

Fixed.

Yes you're right about Uniqlo. It is like Gap basically but in case you didn't know, Gap had a selvage line which was actually quite nice. You can't argue the bang for the buck for the Uniqlo jeans though. The really rigid ones which I bought the other night fit really awesome and they're quite good quality. And for the price of the APCs, I could buy 4 pairs of Uniqlos.

Yeah you could buy 4 pairs, but whats the point?
AND Dior Homme is not fucking quality i can assure you that. It's the name you're paying for. Their denim is thin as fuck, and the fading properties is just as good as apc's, you can almost call them lightweight denim. So therefore FH AND SAMMIES STILL FOR THE WIN.

You're absolutely right about the Dior Hommes. I bought a pair of MII ones and they're just like APCs. I paid like 2.5 more tho. They're just overpriced APCs with two little lines on the pockets. The fit is fairly similar to the NS, so I recommend just gettings APCs.

I can't wait till I head back down to Cali. Self Edge = Denim.

Wow someone's a bit touchy today. Were you not the person who was saying that the fit is the strong point of the APCs and that their denim wasn't the greatest? So I would automatically assume that you would be willing to pay the premium for the craftsmanship and cut of the Diors (ignoring the thickness of the denim). Now I'm sorry if I offended you but I'm not one for the 6 months straight with one pair of selvage (not saying you don't have more than one pair) and I'm not exactly made of money so Uniqlo is fine for me. This is a good thread. Lets not let it go to fight club.

Hedi based the 19cm and 21cm off APC cuts. MIJ is far superior to the MII from what I hear, too. I agree with LC21 though, DH is pretty far from quality and people mainly buy it for the fit and probably because it's DH.

APC is a great entry point because of the fit/quality to price value.

For some people (not saying anybody here), raw denim is just the current trend and I would probably not recommend them to waste money on the more expensive, artisan denim.

On the other hand, raw denim is not the be-all and end-all of denim...there's lots of great washed/pre-distressed denim out there.

Anyway, it'd be nice to see some more pictures of everybody's collections or even some fade progressions!
