A.P.C. The official thread for APC questions. - Page 744

Hey guys, 

I posted before about ordering a pair of size 29 NS black denim and I usually wear size 30 on LVC and W+H jeans and pants. After reading this thread, I wanted to exchange for a size 28 but couldn't do so. I got my jeans yesterday and they fit snug but not super tight like some people have mentioned. I was wondering if there's ways of reducing the stretching and hopefully keeping it around the same as what I have now? I know it's going to stretch but hopefully it won't go like 2-3 sizes up or anything.  

Can post pictures later on to show the fit. 

Thanks. 

BTW, I find it funny that here and sufu all recommending to size 2-3 sizes down for NS but if you look at actual stores selling the jeans like TBS, they all recommend only one size down. Hell, Mr. Porter actually said to take your true size and don't size down... 

Can anyone point me in the direction to some petite standards in sizes larger than 34?

Where are the PNS in stock? Looking for a 30.

i wonder if this happens to any of you. i would like to know if there are solutions to this ?? my model is petite standard. i hate how my jeans have this white line runs along the side of my jeans

This pair of 510's in 29x30 I have, though, look great on me (in my opinion, of course, ha), but there's more room in the waist than I'd like (I can fit like two to three fingers in between).
So in other words, a 28.5 waist, if such a size existed, would've been perfect on me.
So anyway, I've been looking into getting a pair of New Cures (these are the slimmest fit that APC offers, right?). What gets me, though, is the conflict between sizing down one and sizing down two. I like how my 29x30 Levi's fit around the entirety of my legs (they're not skin-tight, but still slimmer than slim), so how should I go about sizing?
I'll try to get pics of me wearing the Levi's soon (if I can) to give a better idea of the kind of fit I like.

Something like this:

Are the numbers here trustworthy?

I wanted the exact same thing as you, as you can see from my user picture, I used the same photograph as you to get the fit that I wanted.  I'm also in between a 28 and a 29.  It took me three tries to get it right.  I started with a tagged size 26 PS (sized down 2 from my normal size of 28):

Those were way too small so I tried going with the NS, true to size (tagged size 28).  but those were too big:

So then I finally bought of a pair of TTS (size 28) NC, which are just about spot on.  They fit perfectly when I bought them and now after several months of wear they are slightly look in the waist.  This picture is the day I got them:

Hope that helped.
