Anyone know how the past season duffle fits. It's the one without the toggles, very clean looking coat. I usually wear a small is shirts(non apc). I once had a cardigan from apc in small it fit a bit snug. For ref I'm 5'6 130 pds. Small or med? I don't really care about length here, more about shoulder to shoulder. Thanks in advance!

Thank you, thank you - very much appreciated!

I have the blue ones that were sold on the same page. Bought the very last pair of my size in October.. They are thin, silky feeling 100% cotton. Waist on the 30 measures 16.75" aligned across (!), although I'd say call it an even 33" for sizing purposes. Very nice pants.

I'm selling a similar pair of APC pants (PS though) in thin taupe, size 30 (measures slightly smaller) in my FS thread.

I usually wear size medium or large depending on cut (athletic build), i could have went XL with this jacket, it's pretty tight fit without layering.

Did you buy them used? Mine were stiff and dark when I bought them.

They were worn lightly with no washes/soaks. And the color looks like a shiny silverish blue and not a dark indigo color like I thought it would be from pictures I see here.

I saw some APCs at a Barneys a while back and was surprised at how light they looked too. Nothing really like the way people's pictures of them would suggest.

I think maybe once they fade they become a more evenly deep indigo color?

You sure those are raw denim youre talking about? I'm pretty sure APC makes washed denim too. I bought my raw denim from the APC store in NYC and theyre hard, dark, and a bit shiny.
