APC price increase??

[jet]

octopanda and fuji spot on

there's a reason why people come back to apc after all that other nonsense

Can't argue with the fit or quality of APC denim. My NS are 3 years old and will continue to get regular wear. That said, the quality of the denim of my PBJs blows APC out of the water, and I am not an expert denimhead by any means. Like everything else, I suppose it comes down to how one values these types of things.

The fact that they are outsourcing the work to the Chinese for probably very cheap is why I am surprised by the price increase.

Take the stick out of your ass.

I was just thinking that today.. i have kmw, lvc, corpus... etc. and i love my NS's the most.. i picked up a pair of black ones a couple of years ago for 120, the thin denim is somehow nicer then the thick **** they put out now.

my first pair of raw denim jeans were APC New Standards like 4-5 years ago. Since then, I sold them and moved on to other brands, like LVC, Skulls, MF, Roy, etc. But guess what? My next pair of jeans are going to be another pair of APC's. i should never have sold them. there's something about a pair of APC's that just does it for me. after owning a few nicer, more expensive japanese denim jeans, the $175-185 price is fine for a pair of no-nonsense jeans.

Chinese made denim, cut and sewn in Macau (glorified Chinese factories).
I guess people love being blind.

Simple math, dummy. Can't get from 165 to 185 without going through 175.

I've owned Dior, 3sixteen, Ande Whall... and all since have been sold.

I have owned 3 pairs of APC. That says something, price increase or not.

 

[C-Note]

What exactly are you getting at? Because I don't think quality is what brings people back to APCs...

thats great. if this is true you should buy two pairs to have one for the road ... especially since apc is likely to + their jeans next year by $10 +/- and you want to avoid that increase i would think, right?
