 Walk on your jeans or roll them up. What kind of answer are you looking for?

just seeing if this was an issue. I have mine hemmed + cuffed up, so it doesn't get to that point, but some of people don't hem them and it just seems like it'll be annoying

That was me wearing last night at the pad. Lol. Draggin all over the place. Annoying to step on

^^ That's a DIRTY MOVE.  The bleeding will stain carpets.  Not really an Asian thing?  Well maybe, but I don't see why people wanna drag dirty shoes around the house and carpet.

Y'all be rocking them loose jawns. Team tinypants over here, leg opening so tight I can barely get my foot through

@Joepac12
 just out of curiosity how is the fit around the thigh 

Perfect. Just the calve area is a bit more snug then I would like. But they look good. I'm 5'10 and 185 too.

Can anyone who has past experiences with APC petit standards or raw denim in general check my photo on the past page and let me know if I need hemming and if so when?

You should return them tbh. I dont like how the knee looks so scrunched up. Maybe size down one? They just look a little too baggy for my taste. As for hem i'd say hem off 1-2 inches.

Yeah, unfortunately I can't return them. So I gotta deal with it. Thanks for the honesty though

Hardwood floors tho

Won't they shrink a good amount after my first wash though?

Here's an update on my $6.66 tapering job.

These are the Skinny Guy Naked and Famous Broken Twill Selvedge.

8.5" leg opening taken down to a 7" opening, while maintaining that selvedge.

Comparison Photos:

I am very happy with how they turned out. My Naked and Famous Skinny Guy Griffin Chinos turned out the exact same, a significant improvement for under $7/pair.

I bailed on doing my elephant 4's due to advice in this thread, but I will be taking them in for a tapering as well, likely to 7.5"

Lol nah man I like my shoes nice and tight haha

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Copped my first pair of prps. Any good denim tailors in nyc? That 34.5 length is gonna be way to baggy

Self Edge on orchard. If you buy from them I think they'll toss in the hemming themselves, but you can bring in a pair you bought from some place else. They'll chainstitch the hem.

Are crotch rips inevitable? I've ripped my crotch on my denim even before I had some decent fades.

 

[unknwn]

looking for a pair of jeans that are as tapered as the APC pns.  these are almost the best fitting jeans i have.  i say almost because overall it stretched out a little too much.  i should have sized down two from my generic denim brand/pants size.  

How are you guys stretching them out so much? I'm a 30 but got a 28 in the APC PNS and I squat in them and wear them hard as ****. They barely stretched like .25 of an inch. Seriously this is driving me crazy lol how do you guys make them stretch 3 god dam inches?!

Do you wear a belt?

 

[unknwn]

these look a lot better than the other unhemmed version.

Thx


RE: Stacks - "Kanye got stacks, y'all already know that" 

its just unfair how those jeans stack

My APC PNS stacked a lot like when they were new

Too tight, wrong sizing.

Not necessarily, if you wear selvedge too long without soaking or washing, the denim tends to become dry and brittle, add in friction and boom crotch blowout. Just repair them it happens.

He said he hasn't had any fades with them, so it seemed to me his 'blow out' was more due to sizing and tension as opposed to wear and tear.

I don't think strands will crack or blow out like you've mentioned; as I don't know.  But I am planning on going 2 years with my Pure Blues before soaking or washing, so we'll see how it goes. hahaa

Well I currently wear a 36 in APC and they stretched and fit perfect. Prior to that they were APC Rescues and Nudie Big Bengt. Big Bengt were tight, but stretched perfectly.

I feel like it's just because I have big thighs

Good insight...Maybe i'll give them a soak at the 6-month mark.

What's the scoop on Big John denim? Are they good quality?
