i just got my first pair of raw denims ever today. got rescues.

if i wanted to hem this bitches just a little, does it matter when i do it or no?

it doesnt matter when BUT
it would be better if you waited
after you wear them in for a week or so they will fit different then when you first bought them
so wait, and if you dont like the fitting after, hem them

dam i probably won't be able to return them, they only give u back store credit. Any other brands with longer inseam? i duno where to get imperial in vancouver == Maybe ill just exchange the apc for smaller waist and wear em for now....im 5'11-6'0 ish....iduno is it just me, or is 34'' inseam actually okay for me? thank you

I'm 6'2 and a 34 inseam works fine for me, so you should be fine. I get basically no stacking though, unless I'm wearing high tops.

Did I just buy some fakes?
Hi,

So I've been pretty good about where I purchase my APCs form in the past, but recently I saw a deal on ebay and couldn't pass it up. It was for a pair of size 26 black NS. They came in the mail today and after putting them on they felt a bit odd:

1. They weren't tight around my waist, but were at the knees.
2. The top button is flat and different from the one on my older NS.

Could you guys help put me at ease?

Here's what the button looks like:

New Black NS:

Top View

Horizontal View

Vs my older NS:

Horizontal View

Thought? Please do tell me that I'm being cynical and actually saved a few bucks.

shougan, I've seen a mix of both buttons. I think the flat ones are new.

Oh really? Well that is a relief!

But what about the sizing? A new 26 should be damn tight... That isn't to that these are loose, but they seem to fit almost like my worn in NS.

You should be able to tell by the quality shouldn't you? I assume the fake would be an inferior product. The buttons on my NCs are definitely rounded.

keakkk - oh ok.. sounds like you have a similar fit to what I have. Just keep tuggin them shits down until you got proper sag haha

Oh its quality denim, but some of the difference made me question things. Plus, I've never owned raw black denim.

i've seen somewhere that because the black uses a different dye, the fitting on them will be slightly different compared to the indigo, what colour are the selvage lines? APC only makes ones with brown base and red stitch

These are the non-selvage versions.

I'm confident that they are real though, because the selvage part can be explained: there are black ns non-selvage; I've seen plenty on hypebeast and other sites.

5'7" it's cool homie, I'm not too sure about this 34 inseam either.

EDIT: I do what I want.

Sellmestuff, the button on my new NCs is flat, but on my old pair it was round. I dunno.

shougan, when I was trying on PSs. Size 27 had a flat button, and size 26 had a round one, so like I've said. I've seen both, but I don't know why they have different ones. About the sizing. I tried on two pair of size 27 NC both from different stores, and one fit a lot tighter than the other. I think it just depends.

Fake ones for the most part are identical till you see the way the but fits and the overall finish is. If you deal with APC's all day and see a pair of fakes you can surely tell.

my true waist size is in the 28-29 range... i want to get a pair of NS's, but don't know whether to get 26 or 27.. i want it to be fitted and not too skinny.. however, i tried on a pair of 2-3 month worn apc ns in 28 and they were a little bit baggy on me.. any suggestions?

26-27 would look fine, just make sure you know what you're exact waist size is and drop down 2 from there.

I'm new to the APC world and wanna get my first pair of APC soon.
I've decided to order Black Petite Standard size 26 soon but just to be confirmed about the fit

Because I never wear APC Jeans before and can't find any shop here to try one

BTW can you guy give me one some recommendation here?

I'm wearing Nudie Grim Tim Dry Stretch Selvage and Light Rich
Blue both in size 27 but Light Rich Blue (Pre-washed) is seemed to be a better fit for me. Dry Stretch Selvage is a bit large in the thigh area.

Here's its measurement:
DSS size 27/32 : Waist 30 Rise 9 Thigh 10.5 Knee 7.5 Leg
Opening 6.7
LRB size 27/34: Waist 29 Rise 8.75 Thigh 10 Knee 7 Leg
Opening 6.5

DSS pic:

LRB pic:

What do you think? Will APC PS Black Size 26 fit for me?
I want it to fit similiar to my Grim Tim LRB

And is this measurement from Context accurate?
PS Size 26: waist 28, rise 8.25, thigh 10, knee 7, leg opening 6.5

From the measurement only, both PS and my Nudie Light Rich Blue have almost the exact same size, will it fit similiar ?

Thanks a lot in advance and when I got the jean i'll show you some pic

My real waist is 29" and 170 cm. tall

I don't want the NC cause I want the black color which only available for NS and PS.
