Reading a number of threads here its pretty clear that APC is well regarded for Jeans. Here's the question ... how heavy is the denim in the Petite New Standard? I prefer lighter, softer denim. Also is it true to size?

 

Cheers

APC Petit Standard are 14. oz denim. They're on the heavier side. They will feel like cardboard when you first wear them. APCs are also vanity sized. They are not true to size. Most suggest that you size down 1-3 from your true waist.

Any suggestions for lightweight jeans? N&F showed up on some searches ...

N&F have different weights, but generally they're pretty heavy also. The only light-weight raw denim I know of are Acne Max Raws and Nudies. They're definitely much less heavier than APCs. Honestly though, if you want a light-weight jean, don't go for raws. Raws are heavy for a reason. Heavier denim takes a longer time to wear out (Which is good).
