A.P.C. New Standard – Month 3

Months ago I decided to finally dip my toe in the selvedge denim pool, as I began to tire of crappy quality, ill-fitting jeans, that I would just end up donating months later. With much research and budget consideration, I settled a pair of New Standards, by the French label A.P.C., as my inaugural pair. Well this weekend marked three months into project second skin, or “are you wearing those same damn jeans?”, as its more commonly known. Originally, these jeans were purchased two sizes down as I was aware of A.P.C.’s tendency to stretch, and after the first week they were almost perfect waist size 34. So far the fading is going according to plan, and overall they still feel nearly as crisp and solid as they did after that first week of wear. I’m very pleased with my pick and would highly recommend then to those interested. I’m really looking forward to comparing shots in a couple months to see the progress and will keep you guys up to date.

4. 2 sizes down? really?! how did you fit on them initially? I am a 34 too but doubt i can get myself into 32s

5. @Jose well the first week was a bit rough, they where tight in the waist but i wore them pretty much all day for the first week. i've known people that couldn't get the top button done until days later. a 33 would have been fine as well i'm told, but as it stands they are pretty much stretched to a 34/35 waist. If you plan to wash them before you really wear them, then probably should stick with true size.
