on another note, got a brand new pair of PS in size 28 this morning, sized down 3 as i'm looking for a skinny fit. as i wore them first i couldn't even get to the second button. 3 hours later, i can button it all the way up, but it feels tight... can i expect it to be more comfortable in a week or so? on my previous pairs i had only sized down 1 and ended up with sagging jeans after a couple of months.

and btw, i measured them as i got them out of the bag, size 28 measured exactly 28 inches at the waist, and not 30 like before. did they drop the vanity sizing recently?

Bought a pair of off white PS recently.
Very happy with the fit everywhere except length. I usually like stacking but this colorway only come in 32 inseam.
I bought them for summer use though, so maybe it's nice to not have excess denim when it's warm?
Wondering if I can pull off the ankle length since I'm tall. Bear in mind that they're prolly gonna shrink an inch after washing.

Should I go for longer or does it look ok?
Mostly gonna wear them with lo tops FWIW.

I have them, they are ecrus. I always thought mine were 34s but yeah. Anyway i don't think they stretch in the wash, or maybe i just haven't washed mine but nonetheless, they do look short and denim should always stack. However if you have some nice sideszips, these could work

What size do you take? I have a pair with like a 35/36 inseam that I've been to lazy to put up on B&S. waist is 31.

I have a pair of Levi's 511's that fit right in the waist - I ordered a size 28/32" and the waist has stretched to 29". I'm looking to get a pair of black raw APC's - Would I be right in ordering a size 27?

Also I'm thinking of getting petit standards - are these closer to the 511 fit than new standards?

Thanks

Has anyone experienced this problem with their apcs?



I sized down 2 and they stretched perfectly, but after a while the fly became like this. I don't know if it's normal and will look better after fading, but right now I think it looks pretty bad/easily mistaken for an open zipper. Most my other jeans are zip fly so I've never encountered this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Looks like that button is holding on for dear life

 

[Pngwyn]

I know but I don't think they were even that tight to begin with... I guess it's just the way I've been wearing em. Here's how they fit originally..

why dont you guys wear belts? I never understood about people sizing down to squeeze themselves in like a sausage roll until I noticed many of you dont wear belts

and on top of that all your button problems lol

edit: pngwyn they look tighter around the hips in your earlier post, cant really tell if its too tight thou

 

[Pngwyn]

So am I stuck with having messed up buttons? loool.. maybe a tailor could fix it?

I guess my logic behind not wearing a belt is that the pants are already fairly snug and stayed on ****** without one but seriously I can slip them on and off without unbuttoning them, they are relatively loose compared to some of my other jeans.

Pngwyn - Your probably fucked. If it were a normal hole, say on your knees, you could just patch it.
The problem here is that you still want the hole, but make it smaller. I can't see how one should fix that when there's so much pressure on it.

I think he could reinforce that with another piece of denim / tough fabric with a buttonhole; luckily that area doesn't show. Just sew the new fabric on top and button it through that.

I had that same problem with a my first pair of new standards....three-ish years ago. A tailor can fix it. Although I have to say, I had that problem because they were a size too small for me.

I just bought my first pair of APC NS in a size 28. I love the look and color of the jeans. I just hope it won't be too difficult to break in.
