    APC New Standard sz 32 raw blue denim

    I bought these and never wore them, not even once. Never washed, either (obviously!). Just like every other pair of new APC Japanese selvedge jeans, these are stiff as can be. Size 32 - APC sizing is a bit off, so you probably should know how APC fits you before ordering them. These are the...

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

     Does that mean you think the 34" ones I'm seeing now are out of the norm? I.e. I might see them back at the 35.5" length if I check again? @Dbear - OK I'll bite. The spec is: NS fit, no visible embelleshments/patches/tags of any kind, inseam 35.5" or longer. I liked the denim from APC -...

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

    Ug - does anyone know how recently A.P.C. changed the inseam length? I last bought a pair of NS from them about 2 years ago - at the time they had inseam of 35.5" (for waist 32), as did all the NS and Rescues I had bought prior to that. I recently went to get a new pair - they *all* have...

    Alden Indy Boot

    The straight Indy boot (not the shell or special makeup) look very much like work boots. They have a few details which make them not *exactly* workboots: a stacked leather heel, a composite sole material, and good leather. But that's it. Nothing more. I wear them with nice jeans, or with nice...

    New suit - i.e. nits for the picking

    I have a very (*very*) similar suit in the same fabric, from Chan. I hope it looks as good on me. Will post picks at first free moment (probably sometime in '09... )

    Any "one-pair-of-jeans" guys here?

    I own 1 pair only: APC Rescue. Though I did recently try on a pair of DH mij raws that I *loved*. Wash day?! As I said to the salesperson: "these will never see water."

    Exquisite Expensive Business Cards -Where Do I Find

    Metal business card. 'Nuff said. The ornateness of a business card is inversely proportional to the position of the owner. If you must have one, the plainer the better. Unless you are a young "creative", in which case go ahead and make the metal one!

    Mutant wide feet

    My feet are almost as wide as yours, but not in the same way. I usually end up getting shoes that come in a wide width, AND I get them a size larger than I would. They end up being too long, but fit "ok" in the important ways. Brands I like that come in wide widths: AE, Alden (VERY wide in some...

    Dormeuil Fabric aka Bargain of the Century!

    Is that navy wool? If it is, I'd think of trying to have something else made besides pants- navy odd trousers are not the most desirable pieces of clothing. Navy trousers are great. Who says otherwise? Dark brown shoes, navy pants, shirt with a good pattern...if you're not in a suit this is a...

    Worst Fashion Decade ever!

    The 70's were bad, but the spirit was that of "let's dress *wild*, man!!". The 80's were bad too, but everyone was so serious about themselves and their look - they'd all just heard of Armani for the first time after all - that it wins out.

    EG sale starts June 26

    And on a related note: can someone describe the differences between the 89 last (I think it's only for RLPL) and the "usual" lasts we see: 888, 808, 606? I think the 89 is wider thoughout and has a wider, rounder toe than the 888. If anyone has any comments on this or any of the other...

    Not happy with W.W.Chan - am I being pedantic?(pic)

    There does seem to be some unnecessary "lumpiness" in your coat. You should bring it to a very good cleaner, and ask if they can try to press (not clean) it to a better shape. If not, ask to see Chan on their next visit so you can talk to them about it in person. But I'd try it on over a fitted...

    Know a good place to sell a watch?

    Thanks, and a great idea, but they don't allow new watches, only used ones. But let me check with my friend to see if it theirs qualifies ("The warranty papers must be stamped to establish the authenticity and validity of the watch - TimeZone does not allow sales of watches with "open papers."...

    Know a good place to sell a watch?

    Oof, probably a strange question, I know. I've got a friend who needs to sell a watch (that was given to them), and get as much as possible for it. (It's a brand new Breitling Chrono Cockpit, if it matters). Any advice out there for such a task? I considered telling them "ebay" but it seems...

    Haggling in stores

    My 10 cents: There are some clear situational differences being blurred over here. There's "haggling" (which just sounds like trying to get a better price for it's own sake, without regard to the cost or value or the item) and there's "negotiating". In some places, haggling is expected and is...

    Anyone disappointed with the C&J Weymouth?

    Minimal: Would you recommend a tan polish? I don't have that color, but for anything lighter than "dark brown" I'd use clear (neutral) polish. There are some polishing experts here on the forum, I started using the neutral after reading their posts (thanks guys!) which seemed to form at least...
