So I'm looking to try a fit of BBall hi's, a slim tapered jean tucked and some sort of drapey/loose shirt. I'm slender but am muscular/defined and I think I can pull of a deep cut shirt or a sleeveless. I've checked a few sites but haven't found much. Any ideas? What other kinds of shirts should I look into?

Hi everyone,

I had a pair of APC NS size 31. I loved the cut, although in the end they stretched out a bit too much for my taste. I had to retire them after they ripped at the crotch.

I'm looking for something similar and someone mentioned that the Epaulet Smith Slim-Straight Jean has a similar cut. Is that correct? And if they are a viable replacement, do they also stretch as much as APCs? What size would you recommend if I was a 31 in the APCs?

Thanks

I dont know anything about the Epaulet Smith Slim-Straight, but why not get another pair of NS in a 30 so when it stretches it'll stretch to exactly how you like it?

My guess would be that he just threw away two hundred plus for a cheap pair of jeans that ripped open.
Well, ****. Who makes that one?

As noobizor said, while I really liked the cut, the fact that they stretched out too much and that they ripped after roughly 7 months haven't made me a loyal fan. If I have to buy a new pair anyways, why not try something similar that maybe doesn't have the same drawbacks as the NS.

It's too short. Your jeans are to loose for the fit of the jacket. The shirt in the second pic is way, way to short, it's not even covering your belt entirely in the front.
