    APC Rescue straight 29 (actually 32.5-33)

    For the past few weeks, Ive been reading off and on about buying some raw denim. And with price and quality I chose to buy APC. The smallest size they have is a 29. I was hoping this would fit after reading all the APC sizing threads. I am a true 31 waist. I was wrong. So here's my proposal. I...

    "Designer" jeans' quality vs. lower end....

    I'd say it depends on what you're using them for. If you're going to wear them hard from daily wear, such as heavy labor/lifting/bull riding, then I would suggest buying thicker jeans, unwashed, and non distressed (wrangler or even kirkland jeans). If you're going to use them for looks and...

    A.P.C. The official thread for APC denim sizing and other questions.

    I just recieved my APC straight jeans. I love them. I have 3 questions. 1. Does your APC pair say they are made in Macau? 2. Has the quality changed at all since the past 2-3 years? 3. Does the tag say "rescue" or "straight". Mine says rescue, i was wondering if i got an old batch and it is...

    Hi, I know its pretty obvious, but some that tuck in thier shirts and it seems like it never gets loose. Is there some method that prevents it from getting loose and still leaves a slim profile. For example, folding along the sides or getting them tailored.

    Whoops - didn't soak..

    Do you all prefer to soak APC's, too? I've got a pair of NS's coming in, and wasn't sure if I should or not. APC are sanforized, so any soaking will leave minium shrinkage. 1/2 inch in waist and ~2 inches in length. But to answer your question, I would and hang or wear dry.

    which jeans are unsanforized?

    I searched for threads, but all I see is to soak them in warm water for an hour before wearing? and dont wash for several months afterwards. Anything special advice/techniques people want to add?

    A.P.C. The official thread for APC denim sizing and other questions.

    Does APC straight come any smaller than 29? I was wondering if the website have only whats available, or they'll add more later. Just to clarify. Does the denim stretch 2 inches because people wear them tight. Or does it stretch because the fabric is designed like that.
