Just bought a pair of NS in size 29. Fit is everything I wanted. Been wearing Dior 19 cms in size 29 for 15 months and I definitely like ahving some looser jeans.

Question: Do APC NS's come in extra-long inseams? I have a size 29 and it seems to come in a 34L inseam.

The guy at the store I bought my pair at said that all sizes up to 29 are one length, and sizes 30 and up are longer. On the contrary, I've heard that you can get them longer regardless of what size you get; is this true?

^ No. The guy at the store is right; 34" inseam up to size 29, 36" inseam above.

yeah i noticed them earlier, but there's nothing on their site (that i found) about shipping and returns and whatnot, and i don't really want to buy new jeans if i can't send them back if they're the wrong size.

anyone have any idea about their return policy?

This is getting to be really frustrating....I bought a pair of 29 NS, and after three months of wear, the thighs were still too tight, and extremely uncomfortable.

So I sold them on B&S, and bought a size 30, and I could tell within a day that they were going to stretch out too much.

Should I try the 29's again, and just wait it out? It's really just the thigh area that felt too tight.

I've had the same problem. I bought three different APC NS and they still were too tight on the thighs. I bought some Rescues which should be coming in later this week. They are more loose.

Hey! You are from GAF right? lol

My NS stretched a lot plus I think I lost a little weight. At first I could barely button them but now I really think I should have got 27's. Had them about 4 months now.

By how tight were the thighs? From my experience, APC can stretch up to half an inch in the upper thighs across (inch around). If that still wouldn't be enough for 29s then don't buy NS. At any rate, if they didn't stretch enough after 3 months then I don't see why they would at all.

Get a rescue, learn to work with the 30, or just drop the jean all together.

Holy crap, it's like a GAF reunion in here.

Just for a second opinion, assuming I wear a 29x34 in a Levi's 514 and a 30x34 in a 511, should I size down to a 27 or 28 in the New Standard? I understand it -2 sizes due to to vanity, and then one further size to account for stretching.

Whoa, weird. I'm from GAF as well, and I just joined SF.
