For APC new standards, go one size up from what you wear for the blue pair if you want a black pair. My blue pair fits perfect but the black is more like askinny jean fit

Not sure when this happened, so I could have been walking the city with a huge hole in my pants (walked up many flights of stairs too) FML.
So, I'm wondering how I should fix my beloved KMWs.
Should I just sew the ripped sides together? I have an old pair of Nudies I don't wear anymore so I was thinking to take the pant leg off those to patch the hole from the inside.
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks!

The pair on top are a pair of Kicking Mule Workshops... available at ContextClothing.com (or google the brand and peep their website for a list of retailers).The second pair of Nudie Slim Jims. Context also sells Nudies but not sure if they have the Slim Jims, check out SelfEdge.com as well.
But take the time to check the measurements or find a local shop to find a fit that suits you.

For APC New Standards, the inseam (length) is 36. If that's too long you might want to look into getting them tailored. Also, for NewStandards, if you're looking for a pair that will fit right, you'll want to size down two from your true waist size. It's going to be pretty tightbut these jeans stretch like no other.

If you're normally a 34 you'll probably want to size down to either a tagged size 32 (for a more fitted fit) or a 33 (if you want a little more roombut I'd personally go with the 32) because these will stretch after a week or two.
The inseam on those APCs are a 34, so you might want to get them hemmed (or you could leave them at 34 to get some stacking). Like I said to someone earlieryou probably want to leave an extra two inches (hem them to 32 if you normally like a 30), since they're raw you'll start to get honeycombs (bunchingup behind the knees) after a few wears which will eat up 1 inch of the inseam and when you wash them you'll lose another 3/4 inch or so in shrinkage.I'm 5'7 too, I made the mistake of cutting these down to a 31 and regretted it after I gave em a few soaks/wash.

APCs all have the same length. Most people just rock them with a cuff and stack. If you really need to, you can head to the nearest tailor or drycleaners and get them hemmed. So since you wear a 34 in regular jeans, you should go with a 32. But to give you fair warning, they are gonna be tight as hellfor the first couple of wears, but they will stretch out.

couple of weeks.. !*#. How about if wear them to bed a few nights. would that do the job. Im not really into the tight look.. id just prefer to have somethinga bit more fitted than im used too. i think maybe just 1 size down would be fine?

easy way to do it is just wear them around the house when you're not outside for a bit until they stretch out. you can wear them to bed too.

What type of jeans are you wearing right now? It's gonna take some time for the jeans to break in, but if you're looking for more of astraight leg jean, I'd go with the APC Rescues. The NS are a little tighter and have a slight taper at the bottom.

I bought my pair three sizes down (accidentally
You might want to look into the Rescues. They won't have the same fitted look but maybe you'd be more comfortable in them if you're not looking forsomething too tight.

Should be known that those KMWs have been with constant wear (3-5 times a week) on a year + 2 months.
Walking in the rain sometimes sets me back though, lol.
Jeans are really nice though. I'd def cop another pair in the future, since the store I got them from usually does 50%off on them when they have their 2sales each year. I recent picked up a pair of distressed 'Rockers' on revolve for like 50% off. Fit/Look great.
