They will sorta look like how you wear your APC in your pic (esp if you don't downsize), but you
will notice a difference with that rise and top-block design. But they are a slim, slightly relaxed cut, especially if you wear them low like intended. Order them, and since they're sanforized, try them on. If it's too radical a departure, exchange them. The top block is a much more sophisticated fit than APC NS, so that 2" plus difference may not feel as dramatic as you think. But it
is enough for some people to dislike it.

Really? Hows that crack smoking going? More comfortable, yes. "
Higher" though?
