Nope, everything you said is exactly how I feel and why I don't like 'em. Came here to double-check I wasn't alone.

Would you ever go back to APC's? I see em sometimes on Reddit and Heddels faded but I don't really think they compete with RRL's in my opinion. Could be wrong, I never wore a pair.
I have one pair of APCs I wear for work that I pair with a sport coat. They fit the bill when you need a conservative work look.

Otherwise give me paint-splattered, motor oil-sprayed, sandpapered-and-dremeled, ripped-and-patched, shredded and faded, or all the above.

I try to buy the right inseam or cuff them, there are guys doing chain stitching in NYC I just couldn't be bothered to travel to there...
Williamsburg Garment Co does a mail order service as well. I sent some jeans there in January to get hemmed, was quick and easy. I think it cost $40 something total, but I added $10 for the expedited service.

Yeah, it's easier for me in Seattle area to ship them to Williamsburg Garment than to physically go to Blue Owl x 2 to have it done locally. WG is $20 for chain stitch and $19.50 for shipping (includes return). But no additional shipping for multiple pairs.

You don’t get daylight during the week in NL?
I just checked mine outside. Pattern is more visible but still fairly subtle. I like it enough to keep it since it’s going to cost quite a bit to return.
I got to say it looks a lot better in lighting and the pattern is visible good enough to be noticable. Not as good in the pictures, but still good. I'm keeping it too.
