Please help me determine my APC cut/sizing!

Hey guys, I've been wanting to try some introductory dry/selvedge denim for awhile and I've been looking at APC. Currently I wear jeans from Earnest Sewn, Paper Denim, an Diesel, but I'm looking to try something new hopefully with suggestions from you guys. Anyways, as far as cuts, I prefer something with a slight bootcut, but I realize APC doesn't make anything like that so anything apart from tapered would be good. I tend to have really big calves and I don't want anything that will tightly fit around them. In terms of sizing, I wear sz 32 Diesel, and 33 Earnest Sewn. One of the jeans that have stretched out and fit me to my liking measure about 16" across (with dip) and 17" (aligned), have a 31" inseam, 11.5" thigh, and 8.5" leg opening...I realize APC's do stretch, but what size should I get to initally achieve something with a similar fit? Also, any suggestions in term of the cut would be greatly appreciated! I like neither tight nor baggy, but something in the middle.

there is a whole thread for APC questions exactly like this one, but to cut to the chase, you want Rescues, probably a sz. 30 or 31.

Thanks for your reply...sorry I didn't notice the other thread. =/ In terms of NS and Rescues, how do these two differ in terms of sizing and the actual cut? Also, I noticed on the APC site that the back pockets on the Rescues are said to hang lower to give a baggier look...is this true? If so, it's a huge turn-off for me.

how about you ask in the thread, not here.

(rescues are cut bigger than ns; look at the what i wore today for examples or use that SEARCH button)

In any case, you may want to size down more than that with Rescues. I think you could probably go 29 for a slim fit or 30 for a regular fit.
