Advice needed for a shortie

[whatuknowaboutthat]

one question, my legs aren't too skinny so would i be better off with the APC new cure?

 

[whatuknowaboutthat]

what does 5ep stand for?

 

[drizzt3117]

5 easy pieces. I think NS would be better than NC unless you have really slim legs.

 

[deputamadre]

yea, NC are pretty tight. especially if you have big legs.

What those guys said about the NCs... If you have especially muscular legs, you can also look into APC Rescues.

whatuknowaboutthat, Phooi stole what I was going to say (and still will

): Try some jeans with smaller, higher back pockets and a lower rise. A front rise of 10" or slightly less would be ideal at your height.

buy some of those sterods bonds is using!

I was rereading the 5EP x SF project jean thread today. I want to say to any shorter guys looking for a new jean that this is one that I am very excited about. This jean will have a lower rise (similar to APC NS), smaller back pockets, no back pocket stitching, slim but not skinny, amazing denim, and straight leg. I can't wait for a final prototype but it sounds just about perfect...

 

[whatuknowaboutthat]

possibly a dumb question here but where can i pick up a pair of 5eps?

thanks drizz. phooi, the 5ep SF u were talking about, are they not available yet? All I see on revolve are the straight and low down etc..

 

[KennyGhetzoff]

yeah the LDB on revolve are great. I'm 5'6" 145lbs and the 29x32 raw version fits me perfectly.

I thought both APC NS and 5EP LDB had a front rise > 10" (10.5 - 11)? Isn't that a bit high for short guys?

 

[Synrax]

I'm looking into APC NS as well but I'm unsure about the front rise and inseam length. Going by the numbers, they don't seem to be good for shorties.

In my opinion it is. The LDB in particular is probably a bad choice for short guys: its rear pockets are known to be large, and the rise is often criticized as generous (in the back, especially, if I remember correctly?).
