Would I be best with Petite Standards or New Cures?

Also, I bought the New Standards in size 30 and after a month of wear (just about every day) they are pretty relaxed (when i got them they were super tight on my waste and thighs...

Should I go for a 29 in the Petite Standards/New Cures or stick to a 30?

whats with this taper the taper trend? are you super tall and have larger feet?

so do apc's not stretch out much? it looks like they fit okay in the waist and stuff...

you almost have that dior cut look in the back.

APC's stretch a ton, but like everything, theres a limit. these are size 28's and where i wear my jeans (on my hips) currently measures 34" to 35".

LOL like he's rippin a big one. Is it practical to own a pair of NS and NC? I'm just wondering if they'll end up with similar fades.. I like my NS a lot and I can rock it with a lot of fits, but I want a skinnier fit raw too and dunno if I should go with NC or switch brands..

apologies if this seems rude, but your apcs used to fit you almost perfectly. Now, it's like you're mildly obese.

lol, well...i get why he was posing that way...i think it was cool of him to demonstrate. they look good sir, even though you were striking a "**** pose." it might catch on....

Went there, got a pair of NS. Me and my friends were the only customers in the store for a part, I think we were outnumbered by the staff, was kinda weird. Helpful people though. Wearing it around NY was painful for a day, but they're feeling a lot better already.

Need some sizing advice on a pair of Petit Standards.
Should i size down 2 or 3 on petit standards?

I purchased a pair of New Cures in size 26 from Context. The waist was fine aka tight and difficult to button up. I wasn't into the tapered leg so i'm sending them back for a pair of Petit Standards in the same size. I'm reading information now that the PS are looser, and I should get them in sz.25?

This is my first time buying/trying on APC jeans. I'm following the general advice of sizing down 2. For reference I usually wear a 28 in Uniqlo jeans and my waist measures at 29.5 inches.

i'm trying to go for similar fit to this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonsc/4312617168/

Thanks

... Oddly enough, not a denim question.

I was looking over their Collection and I am dying to know when their Vest Coat (http://uscheckout.apc.fr/browse.cfm/4,890.html) will be available.. I know I can just go ahead and pre-order it, but.. my lust for it avoids the temporal!

So I guess this isn't as much of a question as it is a...

Question: what online retailer can I purchase black A.P.C.'s from? I'm looking for a pair of size 31 NC's in black. Any help?

Right, that's where I got my regular NC's from. But I'm looking for them in black.

Sorry, didn't read your original post closely. My bad.

You sure they exist in black? I haven't seen black NCs at the Mercer St. store.
