A.P.C. The official thread for APC denim sizing and other questions.

He probably just wears them to a desk job or only on weekends?

Yup, mostly to the office and when im out running errands. I guess it's an age thing...seems much easier to break in jeans when you're 18 than when you're 30.

I don't think yours look bad though. Just nothing that will really stick out. You can probably wash them now though because any fades would have happened by now. If you're 18 months in, might as well just treat them like normal now.

Has the petit standard cut changed at all over the past couple of years? I got a pair back in '09 and I'd like to start on a new pair. Per the measurements on context, seems like the rise might've gotten a bit higher (a good thing imo). I also sized down 2 last time to 28, but the waist measurements would suggest not sizing down that much.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey guys

I've an APC navy trench that goes a little past ones waist. Really nice. Looking to sell.

Should I B&S or eBay? What are your thoughts? Size Medium and light wear

why not both? or yank it off ebay if it's too low (or set a reserve)? i always felt like there were tons of fees on ebay, but lately b&s has been a real headache for me with flakiness.

I have what is likely a stupid question. I see that the New Cure are touted as being the skinniest of the APC line, but I looked at Context's size chart and the Petite Standard had slimmer measurements. Is the size chart just wrong or are the Petite Standard actually the skinniest ones?

I found the NC to be skinner than the PS.

Is APC stuff worth the money? I mean the sweaters, jackets and shoes?


What size should I pick for the black PS? My usual size is 28.
What's the difference between TBS' PS Black Denim and Context's PS Raw Black? They don't look the same, but they have the same name.

No, not at retail. Overpriced for the quality, fit, and basic designs they offer.

The context jeans are their faux noir model, basically the indigo model with black warp. The TBS pair has black warp and weft, and almost has a waxed look/feel, plus they're selvage and at least used to be mij. TBS pair is much better, imo.

I really like a lot of the looks in their lookbook. Is there a different brand that offers similar styling and cuts but at a more reasonable cost:goodness ratio?

I just ordered the 'blanc' white petit standard in size 29. Anyone have any sizing info?

I wear a size 27 PS raw. The waist has stretched to a comfortable 15.5". A 15" waist would be perfect.

I just got a pair of APC New Standard from boxing day yesterday. I ordered them in tag size 28 and they fit a little tight but does not agitate me. I asked one of the employees how much they stretch and she said up to 2inches so I'm wondering if I should size down one or not, thanks

What size is your waist? Usually size down 2.
