Those fresh out of wash? Or did you size down a lot? Rarely do I ever see APCs fit so... snugly at the ass and not have those horrid knee bags.

Are you kidding? I'd be hard-pressed to name a company that doesn't make gray jeans, aside from some Japanese repro companies. Just off the top of my head, you can get gray jeans from Levi's, Uniqlo, NdG, W+H, APC, Crate, Nudie, Dior, Acne, etc.

Keep in mind they are New Cures, not New Standards. But yeah, they are still very fitted given the obvious wear. They look great!

The diaperass syndrome is still very relevant to NCs, maybe even more so, because with NS you can size down, with NCs sizing down is death. So are kneebags, because the tighter the jean is, the more likely it is to stretch.

Keep in mind this also has alot to do with you body type and whether you were them satcked or hemmed.... "knee bags" are usually only present when you stack and ass baggin usually happens when there is no ass for the denim to attach to...

The APCs had been washed a couple of times prior to the picture, but no, they were not fresh out of the wash.

Before the first wash, I did experience alot of problems with the "knee bags" mentioned above, but as they were thrown in the washer more and more, I never noticed it until now, but the bags have pretty much disappeared (except to fit the shape of my knee). I wore them pretty frequently since the picture, and the problem still hasn't reappeared.

Alright, thanks!

I assume thats a pre-distressed pair of diors, correct?

 

[cocostella]

Your assumption is incorrect. These are raw MIJ 19cm. Worn fairly constantly and washed (10+ times) for 1.75 yrs. Recent crotchal repair done, before any hole or tear deveoped.

Why'd you wash so much?

 

[cocostella]

I have two toddlers and they were constantly getting food, puke, snot, etc... all over them. I just couldn't keep up with the spot cleaning. Also, the spot cleaning wouldn't remove the stains half the time, even when I tried. I realize these aren't the coolest fadze, but I wouldn't exert the same amount of effort on Diors as I would on some other jeans.

Not everyone likes megacontrast fades.

Is it the fit that makes diors fade well, or the denim? I've seen people argue both ways. I want to get some 19's + 21's for the great fit and the great fades.

I'm keen for some PBJ too.
