APC NS leg opening too small

[kleny]

i bought APC NS in size 29...and ive had them for about 2 weeks. The problem is that the leg opening is too small...its just not my style. I would feel more comfortable if it were slightly larger more like a slim straight leg opening..is there a way to do that? bring it to a tailor maybe?

PC stretches alot, did you try pulling the leg opening some? You might be able to stretch them out.

ive heard from others that the leg opening wont stretch that much tho...the 7 inch opening is just not my style, i like my jeans to break on the sneaker not bunch up before it...if anyone knows what i mean..

let me clarify that i love the fit of the NS through the thigh and i think size 29 is perfect..its just the leg opening making me damn self conscience..

They are a tapered (barely) leg jean.... did you not expect this when you bought them? There is nothing a tailor can do. Sell them.

Edit: You could hem them shorter which would eliminate some taper (more or less depending on your height), but it's still not going to make it significantly larger by any means.

Try the KMW 1980s. Same fit up top but with straight leg. Size 29 has 7.75" leg opening.

Kicking Mule Workshop 1980 cut. You also might like a slim boot cut. You might try the Nudie Regular Ralf or 5ep Low Down Boot.

5EP Low Down Boot is a good option as well. I've heard it's barely a bootcut and can pass as straight leg.

I have the same problem with ns. The nearest fit to them and my favourite jean by a country mile is levis lvc 1947 with an 8" leg opening in your size.

Bootcut OLA is probably a good choice also.

Quick question while we're on this topic. If I hem the APC NS from the original 34" length to 31", will the leg opening get bigger? How much?

Well, go up 3 inches from the hem line of the jeans and measure what the length across. That is what your new leg opening will be.

Yes, and probably not a lot, maybe 0.25-0.5" You can probably measure it if you wanted.
