By contrast, the waist of the 31s is only a little bit loose, but the legs are completely different. Much roomier at the knees and below the calves; they're pretty much perfect throughout the leg.

I am expecting that the 32s, being more similar to the 31s in leg proportion than the 30s, will be fine for someone who sizes down to 30 in the APC New Standard.

I'm with you now. So how are the 31's in the thigh, not loose at all ? Are you going to post up pics from different angles so we can get a good comparison against the 30's you originally wore ?

Will these shrink in the inseam or can I get away with just wearing them raw?

Mauro · Sep 23, 2007

all jeans will shrink a little to a lot in the lenght these jeans should shrink a little
maybe 1% to 2% (max) of total lenght

Here's mine. They are a size 33x36. The is the first jean I've had with a longer inseam so I'm debating whether to let them stack or to cuff

Also the first jean I've had that is this damn tight in the thighs, but I think I like them.

Great fit, PG2G.

Nice fit; I think they'd suit you better if you got them hemmed (smarter).

In case anyone is still on the fence in terms of sizing, do not be afraid to size up one. I usually take a 33 (in a PBJ XX-005, for example), but went with the 34x34, and they are instantly my favorite jean. I can't put my finger on it, but despite the middish-high rise, they look great a touch oversized and sagged a bit (which I need for that extra hint of stacking).

I've never been this excited about a denim purchase. I already have two pairs - is it madness to get another? I feel like the answer is yes, but then again, why would I want to wear anything but these...

Somone talk me out of it. Or into it.

I wouldn't hem. I think they look great as is.

I was in pretty much exactly the same sizing situation, and couldn't agree more. I'm equally excited about what I got. The fit is by far the best I've purchased thus far, and to have it from 5ep is a wonderful bonus.

The stack nice on the shoe I am not sure if I would hem them now either. You can always hem them later id need be.
The jeans look good on you PG2G

PG2G · Sep 24, 2007

Thanks. I think the stack is more pronounced on that shoe than it would be on a lower profile sneaker too, and I'll lose an inch or so after washing anyway, so I'm just going to leave them as is.

I think a small cuff would work well with those shoes.

PG2G, would you mind posting a pic from the side?
