It's probably better to hem them before they've settled but as jozsef said, it doesn't matter too much. Remember to take into consideration shrinkage of the denim when hemming. You don't want to hem them and then find out they're too short after your soak/wash! If your pair is sanforized it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

What can I buy that fits like the PS just isnt quite as skinny? The PS is also slightly to short in the inseam for me. I need something around $200 that is not quite as skinny and longer.

Yeah, most tailors can taper your jeans to get the thighs and the calves smaller. If you have selvage jeans, make sure that the tailor tapers on the inseam, not the outseam, if you want to preserve the selvage line.

Contemplating on either getting APC PS or Naked&Famous Deep Indigo Skinny. Care to give me your inputs on those 2? Like which ones a better fit, which ones looks better when faded ect ect

^ Both are great cuts, but it depends what fit you are going for more. The Ps is very tapered, whereas the skinnyguys are a straight skinny jean all the way down. Apc's seem to fade a lot more than the deep indigo's but that really depends on how much wear and tear you put in them. Quality wise, APC's are made in and manufactured in Macau, and n+f is japanese selvedge made in Canada. So take that into consideration as well. I say it really depends on how you want your jeans to fit, and base your opinion off that

If you like the idea just do it. You will probably be new jeans later whether you like how they fade or not so might as well try something.

What is the difference between the 17cm and 19cm Dior Homme denim? Also, if I wear a tagged size 26 in APC PS what pair of Dior's (size as well) would be the closest to the PS? (If not the same, very slightly loser)

17cm and 19cm refer to the leg opening.

Quick question, excuse it because it's probably a dumb one.



Just received these Nudie Grim Tim dark used denim. Now I know that with wear jeans age beautifully. Will these age as well? As in like will the color get lighter at all with wear through time? Like I said, it's a dumb question but I just wanted to know. Thanks in advance!

Well they will certainly fade but 'aging beautifully' is more personal.

So I've had a crotch blow on my APCs but I've been wearing em a lot lately. The hole got bigger and i think i want to just get em patched up now.. lmao.

Any of you know of a good place in the bay area (San Francisco/Daly City) that would patch em up for cheap? I was thinking Self edge or Azalea but I'm not really sure if they'd do that

I guess the only downside or the con that people may see in getting their jeans repaired at SE is the price. But it's true, they do a really awesome job at repairing jeans.

This is a question for you denim enthusiasts. In your opinions, what brand jeans produce the best fades? Nudie or APC?

Also, what's the difference between the Thin Finn dry stretch and the thin Finn Organic dry ecru emb?

Thank you in advance.

Nudies is nowhere worth it's price.
A.P.C's can give great fades, but so do other jeans, it all depends on the wearer.

In a dilemma.

I owned a pair of NS before and I sized down 2. After a little, I felt they were too baggy on me and I never wore them again.

Now I'm interested in getting PS. Should I size down 2 again or should I go 3? I understand they will stretch a lot which is why I'm considering sizing down 3 but I don't want them to be too skinny. I'd maybe like them to fit like the Nudie thin finns.
