    I have another question about proper "fits". I have a 37.5in chest and a 31 waist. What should my suit size be? Should it be 2 inches wider or is it a direct relation? I ask because I want to buy a suit online, but am afraid of buying a size too small or too large. Thanks in advance.

    2 button vs 3 button suits

    I am buying clothes and am wondering what is the difference between 2 button and 3 button. I know 3 button suits are more common today and 2 button suits are making a comeback. I just want to know how these suits highlight the body. For example, does one suit flatter taller profiles or heavier...

    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...

    The Best Way To Tuck In Your Dress Shirt

    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.

    how to minimize color loss in jeans

    This is for a new pair of unwashed raw denim jeans. I have searched and have been reading that vinegar helps seal in the color. But many say this applies only to wool and the indigo dye isn't affected by vinegar because of its alkaline? properties. Others say, vinegar only removes the...

    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.
