Went to HTC and South Willard today looking to try on APC's, R&B's, and anything in between. Not that it matters now but who sells Slim Jim's in LA?
HTC: A majority of their stuff is 30% off, R&B 40%. Scott, who normally posts on here as glamroot, wasn't working but the female SA who helped was super friendly. I tried on HTC's own limited line called Stevenson Overalls. $229+30% off. Japanese selvage, no branding, no hidden rivets, but really well made with a great fit. Don't have any real measurements but I'd say it had a medium rise with a regular/slim fit through the legs and maybe 8.25"-8.5" openings. Stiffness was similar to APC and was really pretty overall in terms of indigo. Super tempted to buy but held off for South Willard's stock. They had about 10 pairs of APC's, mostly NC, and sizes 32+. RB's were mostly the rb6's although I think there might have been a rb15 in there, sizes 32+. First time trying on the rb6's and it definitely wasn't for me.
South Willard: Everything 50% except the South Willard brand jeans. Again, about 10 pairs of APC NS/NC's with nothing smaller than a 31. They had about 5 or 6 pairs of RB's, mostly the 6's and a pair of 15's, and sizes 31, 34, and maybe a 32 (if it's left. Someone was already looking for 32's while I was there). $256+50% off=My first pair of rb15's.
Advice needed:
I'm normally a 32 so I bought a 32/34. I expect some stretching but with the shrinking later I'm sure it'll be fine (opinions/advice?). I loved the stacked look with them being 34's so I'm pretty happy about my purchase.
Anyhow, I guess both sales are going on for the next few weeks. HTC at least until the end of Jan, don't know about SW.
