I really like the APC jeans and the other raw denim styles (I'm just recently learning about all this stuff). The only problem is I need a bootcut style because skinny just looks odd on me. I have slightly large feet and a broad top with skinny legs. Does anyone make a Raw Denim jean that is somewhat wider at the bottom? I really just want a pair of nice jeans that are gonna last me a long time because I'm getting sick of the American Eagle/ Abercrombie lifestyle. Thanks!

sorry about the post in the wrong section, but would these: http://www.dresscodesatl.com/menswear/5ep1.html be something that I would be able to wear and get my own faded/distressed look with? And does the sizing for all raw denim go with the APC guide? Thanks a lot for the help. edit: I should also mention I'm on a somewhat tight budget, but I want to make sure that I get a pair of jeans that I'm gonna love and will fit me exactly how I want.

Definately, these are a raw denim, the reason why it is cheaper than the other pair of 5EP's we have is that it isn't selvedge. Hope that helps. You can always give me a call at the store. 404-343-2894

Buckler makes a slim bootcut jean, IMO the fit is really nice.

.


No, APC sizing is idiosyncratic. APC denim stretches much more than most others. You will want to research the particular brand -- in some unsanforized brands you may even want to size up from your normal size to allow for shrinkage. I'd figure out what works for you in terms of style and price, then research the sizing for that brand/cut.

Try the 5EP Low down boots. Pre-orders on revolve right now. A real steal when you apply the first timer discount.

I like the Regular Ralfs in Dry Selvage. The leg opening size is very appealling (wasn't really looking to spend this much though

) What is the deal for new comers at revolve?

For one the Selvage (first one) will be higher quality from the process in which it is made. They both will fade like raw denim.
"Selvage is the term commonly used to refer to denim that has been produced on a shuttle loom. Since the amount of fabric produced from a shuttle loom is significantly narrower than a projectile (wide) loom, the cotton consumption is higher and the time required is greater. In selvage jeans, you will see the actual edge of the fabric where the weaving stops and is finished by the loom, as opposed to denim woven on a projectile loom, where the fabric has been cut off at the ends. "
